Above Ceiling Tiles - Cisco Aironet 1600 Deployment Manual

Unique Installations
If the clean room environment requires metal ceilings or areas where tile is not practical, a metal
enclosure from Oberon can be used to protect and secure the AP. (See Figure 24.)

Above Ceiling Tiles

The AP 2600 and the AP 3600 are rated for installation in the Plenum area (UL-2043). Many customers
prefer to install the AP above a drop ceiling for aesthetic reasons, so that nothing is visible on the ceiling.
This type of installation may also be appropriate in high theft areas such as classrooms or areas where
policy dictates that nothing can be visible on the ceiling.
T-Bar hangar accessories, such as The Erico Caddy 512a or the Cooper B-Line BA50a, can be used for
such installations. (See Figure 25.)
