Given that a shelf has the actual weight, this is a damn fine idea.

        I think even here in the US, square holes and M6 cage nuts and
screws are pretty much standard. At least in data centers. Telco might still use 12-24.

        I've seen lots of M6 in the stuff from China, and of course
        12-24 and 10-32 from US sources... But never M5.

            Rack screw can be 10-32, 12-24, M5, M6.  And rack rail can
            be threaded, round hole, square hole.  Too many options.

            I know on Cisco switches you could turn the ears around
            and the holes would line up so you’d get more switch in
            front of the rails.

                That's a good idea.

                If there are not holes, is there a small screw type
                that is short and self-tapping?

                Not sure the best way to mount the ears if the holes
                for the ears don't exist on the switch.

                Add mounting ears farther back on the switch.

                This is really specific; don't ask why I need it :)

                But I need a standard rack threaded screw that looks
                like a 6 to 7 inch long motherboard standoff screw.

                So it would stand a 1U switch forward from the 19"
                rack about 6-7 inches.

                I tried standard rack standoff modules, but the space
                is too limiting.
