BigRedX Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) Does such a thing exist? I have a couple of non-rackmountable devices that sit in my Boschma 6U rack. Most of the time I don't ned to get at them but occasionally I do have to. Ideally they'd be mounted on a sliding rack tray, but of them is just too high to fit so I want to be able to attach them to a normal 1U rack shelf and be bale to quickly remove the whole shelf to get at the units. Are there rack bolts that allow this, a single turn without needing any tools (just fingers) and the bolt releases allowing me to slide out the shelf.

icastle Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 How about using these as bolts instead? http://www.accuscrews.co.uk/knurled-thumb-screws/21253-SKT-M6-8-A1.html?gclid=CITgzonr48ACFc7HtAodwgUARA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
