Additional Mounting Considerations
The options for mounting a GigaSpire BLAST system are many. From a best practices
standpoint, keep the following in mind:
Calix recommends mounting the BLAST as high as possible 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 GigaSpire BLAST within 4 feet of
the power supply. As an alternative, longer power cords are available to extend the
distance between the BLAST and the power supply.
Calix also recommends keeping cabling neat and well secured where ever 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 are often used where the majority of cabling is hidden
behind a wall.
