[R-390] Re: New 'coffee' table

[Sheldon Daitch]

We've used both types of cage nuts pictured on the left in
Rackmount solutions web page.

The left hand version, very dark photo unfortunately,
requires a square cutout for the nut to lock into on the
rack rail.  The cage nut just slips over the rail and only requires
a hole in the right place.
