Wall and Ceiling mounting brackets are included with the UAP2. For Ceiling mounting, a 24” drop rail is also needed. In the NAR market, this drop rail can be ordered as CommScope part OC-BA50A. In other markets, the drop rail may not be available as a CommScope part number; look for compatible third-party options such as the Eaton BA50A.
Unpack and Inspect the UAP2 and Accessories 1. Inspect the exterior of the shipping container(s) for evidence of rough handling that may have damaged the components in the container. CommScope ERA ® UAP2 with Copper Interface Installation Guide , Release...
2. Unpack each container while carefully checking the contents for damage and verify with the packing slip. 3. If damage is found or parts are missing, file a claim with the commercial carrier and notify CommScope Technical Support (see DAS and Small Cell Support).

DRAFT: CONFIDENTIAL Chapter 3: Plan And Prepare for a Copper UAP2 Installation ® system. The CommScope GigaSPEED X10D 2091B ETL Verified Category 6A U/UTP Cable (760107201, 2091B BL 4/23 W1000) meets these requirements and is recommended. There are many parameters that impact the SNR of the 10GBase-T signal received by the CAT2 Card from the AP, or received by the AP from the CAT2 Card.
The drop rail is NOT included with the UAP 2 and needs to be ordered separately. In the NAR market, this drop rail can be ordered as part OC-BA50A. In other markets the drop rail may not be available as a CommScope part number; look for compatible third-party-options such as the Eaton BA50A.

Note: Some cables list their performance in “typical” performance values. However, sweep- testing is necessary to confirm actual performance. CommScope strongly recommends using Cat6A cable that has been tested to the listed frequency with test confirmation available for inspection.
