Troubleshooting
Cage nut won't stay in the rack hole
Ensure the cage nut is properly seated and the 'arms' of the nut are engaged with the edges of the square hole. If the hole is too large or damaged, a different mounting solution may be required.
Bolt won't thread into the cage nut
Verify that you are using the correct M6 bolt with the M6 cage nut. Check for any debris or damage inside the nut's threading. Ensure the nut is correctly aligned with the bolt.
Equipment is not securely mounted
Ensure the bolt is fully tightened. Check that the bolt length is appropriate for the thickness of your equipment and rack panel. If using washers, make sure they are correctly placed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up, first insert the M6 cage nut into the desired square hole in your rack panel. Ensure the nut is oriented correctly so the threaded section faces outwards. Next, align the equipment you wish to mount with the cage nut. Insert the M6 x 16mm bolt through the equipment's mounting hole and into the captive nut. Tighten the bolt using a screwdriver until the equipment is firmly secured. The plastic washer should be placed between the bolt head and the equipment.
Compatibility: This set is designed for use with standard 19-inch and 10-inch rack systems that utilize M6 cage nut mounting points. It is compatible with equipment featuring M6 mounting holes. Please verify your rack's hole size and your equipment's threading before purchase.
Care: To maintain the integrity of the fixing set, clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the black finish. Store unused components in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
