Engineered for reliable electrical bonding in data centers, industrial enclosures, and rugged telecom environments, the Panduit RGTBS-C Thread-forming Bonding Screw delivers a dependable metal-to-metal connection between painted patch panels and racks or cabinets. This patent-pending fastener combines a thread-forming design with serrations on the underside, enabling both efficient installation and superior bonding performance. By removing paint where contact is needed and forming threads as it tightens, this screw provides a durable, low-impedance bond that resists vibration, temperature cycling, and typical site wear. When you’re assembling panels and cabinets that require consistent grounding and shield continuity, the RGTBS-C is built to simplify installation while enhancing long-term reliability.

  • Superior electrical bonding: The thread-forming action and serrated underside work in concert to establish a solid metal-to-metal bond between painted patch panels and racks or cabinets, ensuring reliable grounding and shield continuity for sensitive equipment.
  • Paint-penetrating contact for low impedance: Serrations on the screw’s underside remove paint from the patch panel surface, creating clean, uninterrupted contact points that minimize impedance and maximize electrical performance.
  • Efficient installation with a single fastener: Designed to simplify hardware coordination, this bonding screw reduces the need for pre-tapping or multiple parts, delivering fast, secure installation in tight spaces commonly found in racks and cabinets.
  • Patent-pending design for durable bonding: The innovative geometry and forming action are protected by patent-pending technology, offering a unique solution that combines mechanical fastening with continuous electrical bonding.
  • Versatile fit for data centers and industrial enclosures: Ideal for painted patch panels and equipment racks in data centers, manufacturing facilities, and network rooms where dependable bonding and corrosion resistance matter.

Technical Details of Panduit RGTBS-C Thread-forming Bonding Screw

  • Bonding mechanism: Thread-forming with serrated underside to remove paint and create metal-to-metal contact for a reliable electrical bond.
  • Electrical performance: Designed to deliver low-resistance bonding between painted surfaces and metal racks or cabinets, supporting grounding and shield continuity.
  • Design intent: Patent-pending construction emphasizes quick, secure installation while enhancing long-term bonding integrity in challenging environments.
  • Surface interaction: Serrations are engineered to engage patch panel surfaces effectively, accelerating bonding without compromising panel finish beyond the contact points.
  • Typical applications: Painted patch panels and rack/cabinet assemblies in data centers, telecom rooms, and industrial facilities requiring robust bonding solutions.

how to install Panduit RGTBS-C Thread-forming Bonding Screw

  • Inspect the patch panel and rack/cabinet mounting holes to ensure they are clean and free of debris or corrosion before installation.
  • Position the patch panel so that the bonding screw lines up with the threaded hole in the rack or cabinet, ensuring the screw will pass through the panel’s mounting hole cleanly.
  • Insert the RGTBS-C bonding screw and begin turning with the appropriate driver in a straight, steady motion to avoid cross-threading and to maximize contact area.
  • Allow the thread-forming action to cut into the threaded hole, creating stable threads and a secure grip while the serrations on the bottom establish metal-to-metal contact with the patch panel surface.
  • Tighten to the recommended torque for the hardware environment, ensuring the panel is snug against the rack or cabinet without over-tightening that could distort the panel or housing.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: What is the Panduit RGTBS-C Thread-forming Bonding Screw designed to do?

    A: It is designed to create a reliable electrical bond between painted patch panels and racks or cabinets. The screw’s thread-forming action builds threads in the mounting holes while its serrated underside removes paint to ensure solid metal-to-metal contact, delivering low-impedance bonding for grounding and shield continuity.

  • Q: Can this screw be used on all patch panels and racks?

    A: The RGTBS-C is intended for use with painted patch panels and compatible racks or cabinets that accept standard bonding screws. Always verify hole size, thread type, and surface finish to ensure optimal bonding performance in your specific enclosure or data center installation.

  • Q: Do I need special tools or pre-threading before installation?

    A: The screw is designed to be installed with typical fastener tools appropriate for its size and profile. Its thread-forming design helps generate threads in the hole as it tightens, reducing the need for pre-tapping in compatible mounting holes.

  • Q: Is this bonding screw resistant to wear or corrosion?

    A: While specific finishes can vary by production lot, Panduit bonding screws are constructed to provide durable performance in typical data center and industrial environments. Check product specifications for the exact plating or coating used in your batch to understand corrosion resistance in your climate.

2023 Honda CRV Hybrid - cabin filter was a bit long
Size: CRV 2023-26 2.0L Hybird
I have a 2023 Honda CRV Hybrid and the Cabin filter was a bit long. I had to trim the edges a bit to allow the cover to fit back on. The engine filter fit perfect.

After having my car for almost a year and searching forever to find an air filter this one fits I've had trouble at AutoZone and O'Reilly's with them saying different conflicting things as well as the dealership but rest assured if you have the 2025 hybrid this will 100% fit it's a great value for the money the quality is the same as you would get at the dealership
