Additional Adapters for Channel and Beam Ceiling Rails
The most common type of ceiling rail (the supports for the ceiling tiles) is the T-rail. You can attach a
ceiling grid clip directly to a T-rail ceiling rail. However, other types of ceiling rails, such as channel
rails and beam rails, require an additional adapter clip (AIR-CHNL-ADAPTER). You need two adapter
clips for each access point. Setscrews on the clips hold them securely on the ceiling rail.
Figure 4 shows the three types of ceiling rails: T-rail, channel, and beam. Figure 5 shows an access point
installed with mounting bracket, ceiling grid clip, and adapter clips.
