Above The Ceiling Tiles - Cisco Aironet 1850 Series Deployment Manual

Revised: January 25, 2017,

Above the Ceiling Tiles

The AP 1850 series is rated for installation in the Plenum area (UL-2043). Many customers prefer to locate the AP in such a way that
nothing is visible on the ceiling. In some cases, this is preferred for aesthetic reasons, so customers may install the AP above a drop
ceiling. This may also be preferred in high theft areas such as classrooms or in areas where policy dictates that nothing can be visible
on the ceiling.
To meet this hard requirement, optional T-Bar hangar accessories such as Erico and Cooper, can be used (Figure 10: Example of
How to Hang an AP Above the Ceiling Tiles, on page 12). These accessories are manufactured by third-party companies. The Erico
Caddy 512a, the Cooper B-Line BA50a, or similar T-Bar Grid T-Bar hangars can be used.
