Additional Mounting Considerations
The options for mounting a GigaSpire BLAST system are many. From a best practices
standpoint, keep the following in mind:

Calix recommends mounting the BLAST as high as possible for Wi-Fi performance
reasons. However, this deployment scenario still mandates that an AC power outlet is
located within the power cord distance of the Wi-Fi source. If installing in a greenfield
environment (initial installation), plan on placing the GigaSpire within 4 feet of the power
supply. As an alternative, longer power cords are available to extend the distance between
the BLAST and the power supply.

Calix also recommends keeping cabling neat and well secured wherever possible. A tidy
installation allows for increased safety and an overall neater appearance. Common tools
used for this purpose include cable ties and velcro straps for routing cable out of the way.
Also, custom made wall plates are often used where cabling is hidden behind a wall.


With so many options available for deployment, your network architecture is no doubt
going to be different from other subscribers. The diagram directly below is one of
hundreds of options. This particular example provides the following:
 A Local Convergence Point (LCP) for bringing fiber into the home. In this case, a
Calix 803G GPON GigaPoint is located near the services panel in a climate
controlled utility room or storage room that can be locked with limited access by
others.

A customized interface panel (see above) for providing LAN, WAN, and POTS ports
pre-wired near the BLAST. This allows for short cable runs and an overall cleaner
deployment reducing clumsy and ill-terminated cable runs.
