Old AT&T telco racks are 12-24. All of the new 2-post telco
racks we get are 12-24 threaded as well.

Most relay racks / two post racks from US sources (Hammond,
Middle Atlantic, Chatsworth) which don't use nuts seem to
ship with 10-32 US threaded holes. All of the cage nuts that
mount in square holes seem to be M6 as they all come from
China/Taiwan.
I am not sure the last time I saw something 12-24 threaded.
Then there are the weird 23" heavy gauge steel relay racks
used by some old telecom stuff that come untapped, if you
want to mount stuff in it you need to bring a tap kit and
power drill.

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.

Subject: [AFMUG] Super long rack screw
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.
