Overview

The Panduit CNBK High Carbon Steel Bonding Cage Nut Kit (SKU: CNBK) is engineered to establish a reliable electrical bond between mounting rails and equipment, ensuring compliance with EIA-310 specifications for racks and cabinets. This kit is constructed from high carbon steel, offering durability and consistent performance. Installation is straightforward, accommodating Phillips, flat blade, or nut screwdrivers. Each kit includes 50 #12-24 bonding cage nuts suitable for panels ranging from 0.06 to 0.11 inches thick, along with 50 #12-24 x 0.5" bonding screws. These screws feature a #2 Phillips/slotted combo hex head, compatible with a 0.3125" or 8mm socket for efficient installation. The patented bonding hardware incorporates paint-piercing serrations designed to create a secure bond point even on painted surfaces. This feature is crucial for connecting painted patch panels, mounted equipment, servers, busbars, and jumpers to the rack or cabinet. The thread-forming design of the screws actively removes paint from mounting holes, creating a direct metal-to-metal connection while minimizing metal shavings during installation. The green color-coding of the kit clearly identifies its bonding application, aiding in proper system setup and maintenance. This kit is a Best Seller, highlighting its widespread adoption and effectiveness in grounding and bonding applications within data centers, telecommunications facilities, and industrial environments.
