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.

Soft Tank Top
Size: Small, Color: Bright White
Very soft material and comfortable and fits true to size, but the size is flowy/oversized or “relaxed” as they call it. If you want a tighter fit, size down. Perfect for layering.

Drapes Without Clinging, Loose Fit, Odd Shoulder Seams
Size: Medium, Color: Forest Green
I bought the medium and it fits well but I probably could have gone with a small (I'm a size 10). I prefer a looser fit so it's fine with me. The fabric is soft, stretchy and drapes really nice without being clingy. The only thing I find odd is the neckline/shoulder seaming. If you put the shoulder seams where they belong, the back neckline drops lower than the front (the pictures show otherwise). It doesn't feel odd and with the dark color it's not noticeable but it's worth mentioning. I got it on sale, so it's a great value if you don't mind having to line dry.

Love the fit!
Love the fit and feel of this tank. Feels casual yet classic. I wish it came in more color/print options. A red stripe or a green stripe would awesome! I am 5'1" and 165 (large chest) and a large fit perfect!

Love the print, but didn't like the style...
Size: Small, Color: Dark Camel Leopard
I'm 5'5 114lbs 34B and got the "camel" leopard print in size small. I think it's technically a cute shirt and it fits okay, I guess, but the style and color ended up looking terrible on me! For reference, the size small measures 21 inches long (from the center of the front collar to the bottom), and about 18 inches wide. I find the style really unflattering on me. The color seemed like it would be flattering for most skin tones, but it ended up making my yellowish skin tone (I'm half asian) look sickly. Also note that this shirt is made of rayon, which is sensitive to heat, so if you get it (and you like it) you should keep it out of hot water and avoid putting it in the dryer if you don't want it to shrink. As for the fit, I usually wear size small unless I want my shirt to fit oversized or flowy etc, so I got this in small. It fits loose enough to be comfortable, but this type of collar is so unflattering on me (I could deal if it was either higher or lower) and the curved hem and in-between length just doesn't suit my body type. LOL, apparently, the fact that it has a cool print still doesn't change the fact that the "muscle" tee style looks terrible on me. It might suit someone else though. The fabric is stretchy and soft, but it's not clingy or see thru (might be in other colors though). The armholes also don't gape at all (doesn't show any of my bra). I ended up having to return it.
