Cradlepoint 170876-001 Drop Ceiling Mounting Bracket
Overview
The Cradlepoint 170876-001 is a drop ceiling mounting bracket designed to secure the W1850-5GB Wideband Adapter overhead in distributed network deployments. Use this when you need to mount networking equipment to standard drop ceiling T-rail infrastructure — common in multi-floor office buildings, data closets, and facility-wide network consolidation scenarios where wall or rack space is unavailable or impractical.
Compatibility
This bracket is engineered specifically for the W1850 (W1850-5GB Wideband Adapter). It accommodates both 15/16" and 9/16" T-rail configurations, so it integrates into existing suspended ceiling grids without modification. Verify your ceiling T-rail dimension before ordering — most commercial drop ceilings use 9/16" rails, but some older or specialized installations use 15/16".
Installation Notes
The bracket ships with three mounting screws for T-rail attachment. Ensure the ceiling structure can support the W1850's weight plus bracket hardware; drop ceiling grids are rated for light-to-medium loads, so confirm load capacity with your facilities team if mounting in a high-traffic or vibration-prone area. Install the adapter securely to prevent swinging or drift that could affect antenna alignment or cable strain.
