More Information

Mounting Brackets

The two most common mounting brackets are:

  • The low-profile bracket (AIR-AP-BRACKET-1), provides a tight fit between the access point and the ceiling but does not accommodate network or electrical boxes or above ceiling mounts. Figure 1 shows the low-profile bracket installed on an access point.
  • The universal bracket (AIR-AP-BRACKET-2) is versatile (it works with electrical boxes, can be used for wall mounting, and above ceiling installations) but leaves a significant gap between the mounting surface and the access point than the low-profile bracket. A substantial gap is necessary for some locations because it allows space for cable routing. shows the universal bracket installed on an access point.

Ceiling Grid Clips

You use a ceiling grid clip to mount an access point on a suspended ceiling. The ceiling tiles or rails will determine which clip best works for the installation. There are two types of ceiling grid clips:

  • Ceiling Grid Clip, Recessed (AIR-AP-T-RAIL-R): If you have a recessed ceiling tile, this clip best fits between the AP and the ceiling.
  • Ceiling Grid Clip, Flush (AIR-AP-T-RAIL-F): If you have a flat ceiling tile, this clip provides a snug fit between the AP and the ceiling.

For more details about the ceiling clips, see the Types of Ceiling Rails and Tiles section.

Additional Adapters for Channel and Beam Ceiling Rails

The T-rail is the most common type of ceiling rail (the supports for the ceiling tiles). You can attach a ceiling grid clip directly to a T-rail ceiling rail. However, other types of ceiling rails, such as channel rails and beam rails, require an additional adapter clip (AIR-CHNL-ADAPTER). You need two adapter clips for each access point. Set screws on the clips and hold them securely on the ceiling rail.

Figure 4 shows the three types of ceiling rails: T-rail, channel, and beam. Figure 5 shows an access point installed with a mounting bracket, ceiling grid clip, and adapter clips.

Mounting an Access Point Below a Suspended Ceiling

Follow these steps to mount the access point below a standard or recessed, suspended ceiling. Figure 6 shows an access point mounted on a T-rail ceiling rail using a ceiling grid clip.
