Cradlepoint 170718-000 Magnetic Mount Kit for IBR900

Cradlepoint 170718-000 Magnetic Mount Kit

Overview

The Cradlepoint 170718-000 is a magnetic mounting kit engineered for mobile broadband deployments where the IBR900 or compatible router needs rapid repositioning without permanent installation. Magnetic mounts eliminate drilling and fastening constraints — critical in rental vehicles, temporary field sites, or installations where equipment turnover is frequent. This kit solves the deployment problem of securing industrial broadband routers in moving or unstable platforms where vibration and redeployment cycles are routine.

Compatibility

The 170718-000 is designed for the Cradlepoint IBR900 router (end-of-life). It also works with legacy models IBR600C, IBR650C, and the COR Extensibility Dock (170700-000), as well as the R500-PLTE (end-of-life). If you are deploying current-generation Cradlepoint routers, verify compatibility with your specific model before ordering — this kit is optimized for the hardware form factor of the IBR-series and COR dock platforms only.

Installation Notes

Magnetic mounting relies on ferrous metal surfaces — vehicle frames, steel cabinets, or structural panels. Verify that your mounting surface is bare metal or thin-painted steel; powder-coated or non-ferrous surfaces will reduce magnetic grip. The kit includes mounting hardware; no additional tools are required beyond surface preparation. For mobile installations, test secure placement on a short test run before committing the router to production — vibration tolerance depends on surface texture and magnetic contact area.
