Schaumburg, IL – July 26, 2016 – Rittal Corporation (www.rittalenclosures.com), the world’s largest enclosure manufacturer and a leader in thermal management of electrical, electronic and IT equipment, has added a 19” Cage Nut Fastener for enclosures to its parts offerings.

This 1RU cage nut assembly is simple to install as an alternative to time consuming capture nuts. It consists of an innovative three-in-one expanding nut that is easily attached using the center nut for the square attachment hole, then secured by hand with the fastener screw. The tightened screws expand the cage nuts to secure the required components. Six cage nut assemblies can be installed in the time it takes to place two capture nuts. And it can be done without tools.

The Rittal Fastener assembly is manufactured from sheet steel with a zinc coating to ensure electrical grounding continuity throughout the structural members of racks and cabinets. Contacts are integrated for potential equalization. The cage nuts are durable and can be reused, moved and repositioned multiple times.

The Rittal Fastener Cage Nut is compatible with 19” enclosure rails that meet EIA 310 standards. Clamping size range is from 1.2 – 4.5 mm.  They are sold in packages of 24 fastener cage nuts assemblies.
