About the /dev/mount
The /dev/mount is an innovative cage nut alternative that holds equipment securely in place before the hex nuts are even fastened, with the ability to hold up to 15 kg (33 lbs) per rack unit.
Unlike with conventional cage nuts, no sharp edges need to be touched, and no tools are required when mounting or dismounting a /dev/mount.
Simply snap in the /dev/mount and tighten the extra-long hex nuts with your hands. These benefits ensure that IT technicians don’t hurt their fingers with the sharp edges of conventional cage nuts, nor need any tools while simplifying and accelerating the process of device mounting.
Mounting Better than Cage Nuts
Mounting 19″ equipment in a network rack has never been easier before – with the /dev/mount, our innovative, high-quality cage nut alternative. Holding the equipment securely in place before the hex nuts are even fastened, making hardware mounting a faster, easier, and more secure task. Our /dev/mount is safer to use than conventional M5 or M6 cage nuts. To fasten hardware fewer pieces are needed, this saves a lot of time and nerves.
Saving hundreds of man-hours with our experts and online systems for parts supply.
Toolless and easily installed
When mounting the /dev/mount, you simply have to pass it through the 19″ rail from behind, guide the small lug through the middle hole, and hook it there. Finally, the still-open leg is pressed shut and holds the /dev/mount securely in place.
Easier handling for faster installation
Network Connections Group looks to make mounting hardware even easier and faster the /dev/mount comes with long reversible hex nuts, that can be used from both sides no matter how you hold them. Sweaty hands and tiny screws in uncomfortable positions are a bad combination – this takes up a lot of expensive time and can even lead to back-related injuries. The easier handling of our cage nut alternative speeds up the process of mounting 19″ equipment and is time and cost-saving.
