Overview

The Panduit RGS134-1Y StructuredGround™ Grounding Strip Kit is engineered to provide a robust and compliant grounding solution for up to 45 Rack Units (RU) within standard server racks and cabinets. Designed for seamless integration with threaded rail fasteners, this kit features an EIA Universal Mounting Hole Pattern, ensuring broad compatibility with most rack infrastructure. The grounding strip itself measures 78.7 inches (1997 mm) in length, 0.68 inches (17.3 mm) in width, and 0.05 inches (1.3 mm) in thickness, offering ample coverage for extensive grounding needs. This kit is meticulously engineered to comply with both U.S. and international grounding requirements, providing peace of mind for critical infrastructure installations. Each RGS134-1Y kit includes essential components for immediate deployment: one grounding strip, 0.16 oz (5 cc) of antioxidant to ensure lasting conductivity, one grounding sticker for clear identification, and three #12-24 x 1/2” thread-forming screws along with three M6x12mm thread-forming screws for secure attachment to threaded rails. Panduit's commitment to quality and safety is evident in the design and materials used, making the RGS134-1Y an indispensable component for maintaining a safe and reliable electrical environment in data centers, telecommunications facilities, and industrial control systems. Ensure proper grounding for all your equipment to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) and protect sensitive electronics from power surges and faults. The RGS134-1Y is a best-seller, reflecting its widespread adoption and proven performance in demanding applications. For installations requiring cage nut rail fasteners, consider the RGS134B-1 model.
