Mounting the ACX500 Outdoor Router on a Pole

You can mount the ACX500 outdoor router on a pole with the help of a pole-mounting kit. The ACX500
pole-mounting kit consists of two mounting brackets (one is attached to the rear of the ACX500
outdoor router and the other to the pole), 5/8-in. through bolts, and pole straps.
The ACX500 outdoor router meets the requirement of the International Protection Code (IP65) for dust-
tight environments and ingress of water jets.
The pole on which you want to install the ACX500 outdoor router along with the pole-mounting kit
must satisfy the following requirements:
• When installing the ACX500 outdoor router on a pole, the chassis must be installed in a vertical
orientation with the cables pointing downward and the eye bolt for hoisting the router pointing
upward.
• The strength and thickness of the pole must safely support the total weight of the router chassis,
including the mounting brackets and cables, and must comply with local standards and practices.
• The pole must be able to support the weight of the fully configured router (router chassis and
mounting kit).
The AC-powered ACX500 outdoor router weighs 18.2 lb (8.3 kg), and the DC-powered weighs
17.5 lb (7.9 kg). AC-powered ACX500 outdoor router with PoE weighs 18.7 lb (8.5 kg), and the DC-
powered router weighs 18.6 lb (8.4 kg). The pole-mounting kit weighs 2.8 lb (1.3 kg).
• Ensure that the pole is stable and securely supported.
• The width of the pole must be within the range of 2 in. through 16 in. to hold the pole-mounting kit.
• To mount the router, use the pole-mounting kit from Juniper Networks.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
• Phillips (+) screwdriver with a minimum shaft length of 6 in. (150 mm)
• 10 mm ratchet driver set
• An electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
• Pole-mounting kit (to be purchased separately)
