Perhaps my google skills are challenged (probably so), but I can't find
this.
Is there a modern source of nut bars that one could order with specific
thread size and # of holes (NEMA pattern)? Yeah, I know I'm being OCD and
can just use individual nuts. But after you keep losing a handful of
standard nuts in the bottom of the rack, I see why they used nut bars. In
some cases, nut bars are very preferable to cage/clipon nuts.

It is costing me in ways too vast and indescribable not to give you crap
about this terminology. :)

I love those Nature Valley bars! Dark Chocolate Cherry is my favorite, LOL.
The "speed rails" (with the latching mechanism to grab the holes in square
post racks) we have nowadays are a real advance in data center equipment
deployment. I can stuff almost an entire rack just working myself in maybe
30, 45 minutes ...
I do not miss the days of the screw-threaded racks and all the nuts and
bolts at all (well, save for the neat computers that sat in said racks) ...
what a pain in the butt ... The only time the nuts and bolts really have to
come out nowadays is when racking switches.
Best,
Sean

My wife has a fondness for the plain nut bars. To me, like most granola
bars, they taste like sawdust.
Cage nuts and clip nuts are still used on rackmount equipment. Not
quite as much fumbling involved.

HAH!
The DG documentation does call them "Nut Bars" :P
"threaded rail" seems to be something different according to google, but it
yields "threaded insert" which is close if not exact. Still googling...
Thanks!

There were some systems, like Vector configurable card cages
and VME systems that had extruded rails with nuts that could
slide to where you wanted them. These had real nuts (either
hex or square) slipped into the rails. Boards or connectors
could be screwed into the nuts. Threaded rail sounds to me
like the threads are permanently drilled and tapped to
specific positions in the rail.
