I would like some silvery ones to match unifi stuff. No idea if their fancy tough plastic can come in shiney grey.

Hi.

 

While you're here, any plans for different colours? Whilst I love purple and the 3.2 variant... Would like to see more colours!

 

 

If you want to buy 25,000 studs, we can make them any colour you like 😁😁. On a more serious note, the nuts we have in eight different colours but we're only testing those on Amazon at the moment. The studs because of the Grivory™ we use, are limited to only a few colours because of how they can affect the fibre stands.

We do a turquoise nut that is similar to the UniFi blue. I can drop some in your letterbox if you like 🤗

Girls. 😎😁😉

 

TBH, red's not my favourite colour either ....

 

 

 

freitasm: Have you noticed that all three come into this thread? It is just one discussion. I posted in more than one sub-forum but they all come here.

 

Yes, I realised that. Tested twice as well, but figured it must be an admin thing to be able to link to the smae thread.

That largely disappears into the rail anyway, and only the black button and a little bit of the yellow plate are really visible.

Rackstuds are incredible. We have been using them since not long after the prototypes were introduced.

@rackstuds just a comment, we love selling your product to our customers (and have done for years) but when our buy price from CDL is very close to your sell direct online it leaves very little margin, and customers may look to buy direct if we can't compete.

Which Amazon store were we referring? Only seeing the standard range on US and on AU.

There are some exclusive Rackstuds in Quic Orange here - https://www.quic.nz/product/quic-rackstuds-100-pack/ 

 

This was my introduction to Rackstuds and must say they're fantastic! Where were these back when I worked in a datacentre in 2010?

freitasm: @michaelmurfy they were around from 2013

 

Took a look at archive.org -

26 January 2012, Auckland, NZ. Tooling modification underway to make the Rackstud ™ more tolerant to holes that are below the recommended specification.
1 December 2011, Auckland, NZ. Rackstuds™ (V1) go into field trial phase.
31 October 2011, Auckland, NZ. Patent application filed. Rackstud™ and Rackstuds™ are trademarks of Rack Studs Limited. © Copyright 2011 Rack Studs Limited.

 

Just a few years too late back from when I first worked in a Datacentre!
