Cage nuts are a type of hardware that are used to mount equipment in a rack or cabinet. They consist of a square nut enclosed in a metal cage that has two spring-loaded wings. The cage nut can be inserted into a square hole in the rack rail and the wings will snap into place, securing the nut. The equipment can then be attached to the cage nut with a screw or bolt. Cage nuts are designed to provide a strong and flexible connection that can accommodate different sizes and types of equipment.
