Figure 22: Mounting the AP200 Above a Suspended Ceiling
To mount an AP200 above suspended ceiling rails:
1. Determine the location on the ceiling rails where the AP will be mounted and
remove the ceiling tile.
2. Unpack the T-bar hanger kit and unfold the legs of the T-bar hanger.
3. Locate the bracket mounting clip holes on the mounting bracket (see Figure 23).
One hole attaches the bracket perpendicular to the box hanger; the other mounts
the bracket parallel to the box hanger.
Warning! The AP200 with the metal enclosure exposed meets the requirements for
fire resistance and low smoke-generating characteristics required by Section 300-
22(C) of the National Electrical Code (NEC) for installation in a building’s
environmental air space. You must remove the plastic enclosure to reveal the
plenum-rated AP200 metal case for installations above a suspended ceiling.
Additionally, you must use Ethernet cable that meets the requirements for operating
in plenums and environmental air space (in accordance with Section 300-22(C) of the
NEC).
Warning! Any Fast Ethernet (FE) cables installed in air-handling spaces should be
suitable under NEC Article 800.50 and marked accordingly for use in plenums and air-
handling spaces with regard to smoke propagation, such as CL2-P, CL3-P, MPP (Multi
Purpose Plenum), or CMP (Communications Plenum).
