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.

1st one lasted over 3yrs, 2nd started falling apart in less than a week....
Color: Orange & Blue Roller, Size: 7.5 inches (1 Pack), Color: Orange & Blue Roller, Size: 7.5 inches (1 Pack)
My dog really loves this toy. He’s a 5yr old border collie. He doesn’t work at tearing up his toys but he does shake his toys. I bought his 1st Chuckit it indoor football over 3yrs ago. It held up very well and had normal wear and tear I’d expect from a chuckit toy to have. It developed a small tear in fabric about 6months ago. As it was still mainly intact, I let him continue to play with it. Then the tear widened and I felt good time to replace, so I ordered one from Amazon. He was ecstatic to have a new one. I was quite disappointed though as in under a week from giving it to him(he’s always supervised during play so I do know what he does with his toys and he doesn’t work at them to tear them up) I noticed a tear down the seam that was bigger than the other one had for 6months. Over the next few days, tear widened. Now cover is completely off of inside. I’m really disappointed in the quality. I’m not sure if the quality of the toy is less than when I got his first one(which I bought in a pet store such as petsmart) or if for some reason because I purchased on amazon, they are of lesser quality. I do know for a fact as I supervise his play and with his favorite toys(and usually his spendier toys) they get put up when it’s not play time. He has his other toys that he can play with anytime. I have ran also into Kong toys (Wubba) that has come apart quickly in under a month,but those were both bought on amazon and at a retail store, so I don’t know if amazon is distributing toys of lesssr quality or if toy brands that have held up in past (Kong Wubba & this Chuckit football) are just being made of lesser quality. My dog’s style of play hasn’t changed nor has his supervision. That being said, my dog absolutely LOVES this toy. I want other users to be forewarned that I’ve had 2 of this product for my dog, they both developed a tear down seam, that eventually led to outer fabric shell coming off of the inner part of the toy. Yes my dog does shake his toys but 1st lasted over 3yrs, 2nd lasted less than a month and is in worse condition than the first. I may purchase this toy again as it’s one of his favorites just to see if the 2nd one was a fluke. Had I paid more than $6.19(I’m a prime member and it was an add on product) I most likely wouldn’t purchase a third one. I’m willing to see if the third one will last at least a yr. if it starts coming apart in less than a week again, I’ll have my answer which would be that chuckit has resorted to making their toys of lessor quality. I hope that’s not the case because they are one of only a couple of brands I hold in high regard for their good quality and durable dog toys. Please see picture. It’s his toy in less than a month. The outer material came off during play last night. It lasted less than a month from time I gave it to him to play with. 5/22/18 update. I bought him a 3rd indoor fumblr, it last almost 3 months...I ordered him a 4th one. I gave it to him Friday, today is Tuesday, his 4th one is already coming apart at the seams. When I ordered 4th fumblr, I bought 2 at the same time, they were $5.19 each(prime member add on price). I’m glad I did because now they are twice the price at now over $10. I very highly doubt I will buy another indoor fumblr unless price drops in half again. This last one that I gave him 4-5days ago, it hasn’t been his daily favorite toy. He’s maybe played with it a couple hrs each day. My dog really LOVES this toy. I’m moving my rating down to a 1 Star from 2 as this toy has consistently come apart rather quickly. I’m very disappointed in the quality of this toy. He’s 5 1/2yrs Old now. 1st fumblr last over 3yrs, he’s gone through the other 3 in under 6months...had I paid over $10 each time, I probably would’ve stopped after the 3rd fumblr came apart. as it is now, I won’t but any more fumblrs by chuckit at this price....if price drops, after he’s gone through the 5th one I have put up...I may consider it...but not at over $10 for a toy that comes apart through normal play in under 5 days...

Dogs favorite toy
Color: Orange & Blue Roller, Size: 7.5 inches (1 Pack), Color: Orange & Blue Roller, Size: 7.5 inches (1 Pack)
I buy 4 of these every month for my dog. He won’t go anywhere without this ball. He sleeps with it, swims with it, goes to the vet and carries it around in his mouth to show off. It’s borderline a problem. My dog is a large breed and plays hard so I do purchase often because the strings unravel and the ball itself is foam so breaks down into little pieces after a few days of playing. I love that it is fragile on his teeth and jaw. We can play catch indoors because it is soft.

Just what we needed
Color: Orange & Blue Squirrel, Size: 4.7 inches (1 Pack)
This toy has been great for my dog who eats all her toys! We were having such an issue with all of her toys being so hard that we didn’t want to throw them around our house. This was the perfect solution. She hadn’t eaten through it and it’s nice and soft for fetch without destroying your house!

Color: Orange & Blue Fumbler, Size: 3 x 8.5 x 9 inches (1 Pack)
This toy is my labs favorite toy. She’s obsessed and we were happy to find a toy she loves that can stay inside with us. The problem is how easily she tears it apart. We have to buy her a new one every month because when she bites into it it breaks down the foam inside, and from there she shreds the roping it’s covered in. We try to stop her, but with how often we play with it it’s inevitable. We have resigned ourselves to buying a new one once a month.
