5 out of 5 stars
Worth it.
I've purchased two sets of these now. One for my 18U and then for my 25U. Yes they are expensive. Yes they are worth it. We all know that we can fill a rack solo. It sucks. These make it not suck. Honestly, these are perfect for the home user, or single person IT dept. Racking U's has never been so easy. If you're thinking about this, do it.

    Great product except for the color of the nuts. I need to find out what thread size these are and get different ones. Not sure why they switched from silver to red, but ANY RED is bad in my IT racks. Red = trouble. Any other color is fine. Otherwise, great product.

    The patchbox /dev/Mount rack studs make me wish I never had to use cage nuts ever again (certain devices don't have every individual rack unit mounting holes). For everything else, these are the go to and super easy to use once you get into the habit.
  • Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2024
    I wish these had black or just uncoated silver coupling nuts. The only red I want to see when looking at my racks are when there are error lights.

    Also, the metal edges of the clips are surprisingly sharp. Careful.

    The studs are quite thick. Works great for some equipment and other equipment it isn’t compatible with including some common shelves on amazon.

    Removing is a bit of a pain, slightly harder than removing cage nuts. I wish they’d include a small tool for the price.

    Not offering a single-peg version means these will only work for 1U devices and everything else will need a different mounting solution.

    Overall: very overpriced and not well thought through. They need to up their game if they’re trying to capture an enthusiastic high end market.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Bin begeistert - Vergleich zu Rack Studs
    Reviewed in Germany on August 11, 2024
    Ich habe neulich meinen Serverschrank umgebaut und wollte dabei weg von den Käfigmuttern. Der Gedanke, dass man Schrauben hat, auf die man das einzubauende Gerät schieben kann und welches dann werkzeuglos mit Muttern gesichert wird, gefiel mir. Dieses Versprechen bieten die dev/mounts sowie die Rack Studs. Also habe ich beide bestellt und ausprobiert.

    Mit den Rack Studs bin ich so gar nicht klar gekommen. Ich habe mir dann noch zahlreiche Videos angeschaut, aber ich bekomme diese Plastikdinger einfach nicht in die Löcher bzw. anschließend nicht wieder raus. Selbst wenn ich es so mache, wie beschrieben, mit dem leichten Anwinkeln und von hinten drücken - das macht mir die Finger mehr kaputt als die alten Käfigmuttern, die ich ersetzen wollte. Vermutlich hat mein Serverschrank unpassende Löcher, obwohl man meint, das müsste doch alles genormt sein. Naja, egal.

    Jetzt zu den dev/mounts: diese lassen sich sehr einfach installieren und auch wieder entfernen! Das geht mit einer Hand absolut problemlos. Ich war sofort begeistert. Zum Entfernen der Klemmen, einfach das hintere Teil zur Seite drücken und schon löst sich die vordere Klammer. Einfacher geht es wirklich nicht.

    Dennoch 2 kleine Kritikpunkte: das Blech ist etwas scharfkantig, also Vorsicht bei der Montage. Allerdings habe ich mich selbst nach mehreren verbauten HE nicht verletzt, ist damit also vielleicht unbegründet. Wollte es dennoch erwähnen.
    Weiterhin sind die dev/mounts ausschließlich für 1 HE geeignet. Für die meisten Geräte passt das zwar, allerdings habe ich auch eine Blende von 2 HE. Diese konnte ich mit den dev/mounts leider nicht befestigen - schade. Ich hoffe der Hersteller lässt sich hier noch etwas einfallen. Etwa indem es spezielle 2 HE Ausführungen gibt oder an den Klemmen wird zumindest eine der beiden Schrauben so angebracht, dass diese entfernt werden kann. Derzeit sind beide Schrauben fest vernietet.

    Trotzdem ziehe ich dafür keinen Punkt ab, da das Produkt wie beworben funktioniert und mir die Arbeit am Serverschrank sehr erleichtert hat. Das Beste: man benötigt keinen Schraubenzieher mehr. Und es geht auch schneller, da mit jeder eingesetzten Klemme gleich 2 Schrauben angebracht werden. Je Gerät also eine Klemme links und eine rechts, das dauert nur wenige Sekunden. Die Bestückung des Schranks, insbesondere mit großen und schweren Geräten, war noch nie so einfach. Von mir gibt es damit eine klare Kaufempfehlung.

    5.0 out of 5 stars EDV-Schrank Montagen mal einfach
    Reviewed in Germany on January 2, 2023
    Absolut geniales Produkt. Wer schon einmal Käfigmuttern in EDV-Schränken montiert hat, weiß dieses Produkt sehr zu schätzen. Der Einbau ist in Sekundenschnelle erledigt. Kein gefummel, verlorene Muttern oder angekratzte Finger. Einfach Einklicken und fertig. Der Preis ist zweifelsohne hoch. Entspanntes Arbeiten hat seinen Preis und schont die Nerven. Für mich eine tolle Lösung und NEIN, ich bin nicht von der Firma und habe auch kein Geld für diese Rezension erhalten. EDV-Schrank Montagen mache ich ein bis zwei Mal im Jahr im Rahmen eines Projekts.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Gute Hilfe für Einzelkämpfer
    Reviewed in Germany on June 29, 2024
    Eine gute Alternative für die bekannten Käfigmuttern, besonders, wenn man keine helfende Hand eines Kollegen an der Seite hat. Es ist in jedem Fall einfacher, als wenn man, wie gewohnt, das Gerät festhalten muss und die Schraube einfädeln muss. Einfach aufschieben und die Hülse mit der Hand aufschrauben.
    Was noch verbessert werden kann ist das Einhängen in das 19"-Raster. Bis das Ganze gerade sitzt braucht man doch öfter mehrere Anläufe.
