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.

Perfect fit and great quality for the price
This suit was perfect for my son. The fit was exactly as expected. The quality is excellent for the price—it feels well made and durable enough to last through multiple wears. It doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy at all. It also looks really good on him. Clean, polished, and great for formal events like weddings or parties. Overall, a fantastic value with great quality and a great fit.

Missing items
Color: Sky Blue, Size: 16
Was missing the tie that is supposed to come with it and it looked like it was tried on and thrown back in the bag. The sleeve to the jacket were rolled up.

Excellent Quality, Great Value, Great Look. Highly Recommend
Very well-made, there are some minor imperfections in the cuff sewing that aren't really noticeable when on. Liner is quality, color is spot on, and it fits true to size. If you're in the market for a toddler blazer and pants, you can't go wrong with this one in terms of quality, price, and the cut is perfect for a very polished look. There were a few loose strings to be clipped, but everything was correctly sewn and well. None of them affected the seam strength. The pants have a button and elastic on the waistband to make adjusting the waist size easier.

Great kids suit. Comes with a jacket, pants, and tie. Does not have a shirt. Fits as expected. Classic cut on the lapels. Great quality materials. Well made pants and jacket. The color is consistent without any fade or dark spots that can happen with lower quality fabrics. Looks great on. My son loves it. Says it is not restrictive, he can move easily in it. Highly recommend for church, special events, weddings, etc.

Nice high-quality, light weight suit for a tween!
Color: Navy Blue, Size: 10
This is such an attractive suit for a tween boy! My son loves dressing up, and this is his new favorite suit. He really likes the double-breasted style and the light weight of the fabric so that it isn't too hot. The tie that came with it gives major Harry Potter vibes which we weren't expecting, but he has lots of other ties that he also enjoys pairing with it. The size seems right, and it fits him well. He says it is very comfortable. I'm happy with the quality and the navy color.
