(For required mounting hardware and tools, see Table 2 ‐ 2 on page 2 ‐ 5.)
1. Select an installation location that is centered over a T ‐ bar in the ceiling.
2. Cut a hole as follows in the ceiling tile for the Cat 5 cable(s):
a. Place the mounting template over the area where you plan to install the access point.
b. Use the box cutter to cut along the line marking the opening for the port connectors.
c. Remove the mounting template and the material you cut from the ceiling panel.
3. Determine whether to install a T ‐ bar clamp onto the ceiling T ‐ bar:
– If the T ‐ bar width is 14.2 mm (9/16 inches), you need to install the 14.2 ‐ mm (9/16 ‐ inch)
T ‐ bar clamp. Go to Step 4 .
– If the T ‐ bar width is 23.9 mm (15/16 inches), the universal mounting bracket fits directly
onto the T ‐ bar. Go to Step 5 .
Note: The RBT-1602 and RBT-1602C are UL2043 plenum rated, so it also can be installed in the
space above the ceiling if preferred.
