Mounting hardware for square-hole rails
The APC AR8100 M6 hardware kit supplies 32 complete sets of cage nuts, nylon washers and slot/phillips screws. Each set fastens one equipment mounting point in a standard square-hole enclosure rail. The hardware is designed for server racks and network cabinets that use M6 threads. It is sold as a single pack for new installations or spares.
Consistent fastening across a full rack
Because every set is identical, installers can work through an entire enclosure without mixing thread types or screw lengths. The nylon washers protect painted rails and distribute clamping force evenly during repeated insertions. Slot/phillips heads allow either a flat-blade or cross-head driver, speeding up large deployments. The kit suits integrators who need repeatable, tool-flexible mounting.
Verify rail thread and hole pattern first
This kit only fits square-hole rails tapped for M6 cage nuts; it will not work with round-hole or threaded rails. Count the mounting positions you plan to populate and confirm that 32 sets cover the required quantity. Ensure you have access to a flat-blade or Phillips driver for the screw heads supplied.

Questions about this item
How much force does the M6 cage nut and screw set add to the rack's thermal load when fully populated?
The kit contains only passive M6 cage nuts, nylon washers and slot/Phillips screws, so it generates no heat and adds no thermal load to the enclosure.
Do I need any special tools to install the 32 sets of M6 hardware in my square-hole rails?
A standard Phillips or flat-blade screwdriver is all that is required; the screws accept both drive types and the cage nuts press in by hand.
Will the M6 cage nuts fit the older square-hole rails I already have in my APC enclosure?
Yes, the M6 cage nuts are designed for standard square-hole mounting rails, so they work with existing APC enclosures that use that rail pattern.
