M6 CAGE NUTSA cage nut or caged nut (also called a captive or clip nut) consists of a square nut in a spring steel cage which wraps around the nut cage has two wings that when compressed allow the cage to be inserted into the square holes in equipment racks, and when released hold the nut in position behind the hole. Using cage nuts mounted in square holes provides several benefits over threaded holes directly in the caget, one has the flexibility to choose the size of nuts and bolts (like metric vs imperial) at a time after the cage is installed. This also includes mix-and-matching within one cagend, they’re easily replaceable. Contrast to a pre-threaded cage where if the threads are stripped it becomes more difficult to make use of the holed, this can allow for a better strength-to-weight ratio, as only the nuts need to be made of a strong material suitable for threading. The nut is usually slightly loose in the cage to allow for minor adjustments in alignment gap between the two wings determines thickness of material that will hold nut in correct position without pulling it from the base material size of square hole will also govern the position of nut. If size of hole is too large it will still pull out from base material.
