Is this bracket a refurbished item?
Yes, the “-RF” designation indicates it is a Cisco-certified refurbished unit. Can the bracket be used for wall mounting as well as ceiling mounting?
Yes, it supports both wall and ceiling installations. Does the bracket come with mounting hardware (screws, anchors)?
Typically, no. Mounting hardware is often sold separately and depends on the surface material. What material is the bracket made from?
It is made of durable metal for long-lasting, secure installations. Is it compatible with Cisco Catalyst 9100 Series access points?
No, newer Catalyst APs like the 9100 series typically require different brackets (e.g., AIR-AP-BRACKET-2). Does it support T-bar ceiling rail mounting?
Yes, it is compatible with standard T-bar ceiling grids. Is it suitable for outdoor installations?
No, this bracket is designed for indoor use only. What are the dimensions of the AIR-AP-BRACKET-1?
Approx. 6.5 x 6.5 x 0.5 inches (16.5 x 16.5 x 1.3 cm), depending on Cisco documentation. How much weight can this bracket support?
It is built to support the weight of a compatible Cisco access point, generally under 5 lbs. Can it be reused with different access points?
Yes, as long as the access points share the same mounting footprint. Is any special tool required for installation?
Basic tools like a screwdriver or drill (for wall anchors) are typically sufficient. Does the bracket affect wireless performance or signal strength?
No, the bracket does not interfere with wireless signals. Is this bracket interchangeable with AIR-AP-BRACKET-2?
No, while similar, they support different mounting designs and AP models. Is it compatible with recessed ceiling tiles?
Yes, with proper hardware, it can be mounted flush in a recessed ceiling. Does it support locking mechanisms for added security?
The bracket itself does not lock, but some compatible APs have locking features. Can it be painted to match ceiling or wall color?
Yes, it can be painted, but doing so may void the warranty. What is the Cisco part number for the new (non-refurbished) version of this bracket?
The new version typically carries the part number AIR-AP-BRACKET-1. Where is the best place to mount access points using this bracket?
Ideally centered in a room, mounted on a ceiling for optimal coverage.
