Mounting Options
Currently, there are two methods for mounting the u4hm:
Wall Mount (on page 25) - The u4hm wall mount bracket is standard equipment on the
GM1028H. Mounting instructions (on page 25) are included in this guide.
Pole Mount (on page 28) - A pole mount bracket kit can be ordered separately.

Additional Mounting Considerations
From a best practice’s standpoint, keep the following in mind:
Calix recommends mounting the BLAST u4hm as high as practical for Wi-Fi
performance reasons. However, this deployment scenario still mandates that an AC
power outlet is located within the power cord distance of the Wi-Fi source. If installing in
a greenfield environment (initial installation), plan on placing the GM1028H within 10
feet of the power supply. As an alternative, longer power cords are available to extend the
distance between the u4hm and the power supply.
Calix also recommends keeping cabling neat and well secured wherever possible. A tidy
installation allows for increased safety and an overall neater appearance. Common tools
used for this purpose include cable ties and velcro straps for routing cable out of the way.
Also, custom made wall plates may be used where the majority of cabling is hidden
behind a wall.
27 inch/pounds of torque or less should be used when tightening fasteners to both the
bracket and the u4hm.
