Cradlepoint TAA-170656-002 DIN Rail Mounting Bracket
Overview
The Cradlepoint TAA-170656-002 is a DIN rail mounting bracket engineered to secure Cradlepoint network devices within standard 35mm DIN rail enclosures. This accessory solves a specific installation problem: when you need to deploy Cradlepoint equipment in telecommunications closets, equipment racks, or distributed outdoor enclosures where space is limited and standardized mounting is required. The TAA-170656-002 designation confirms this unit meets Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance requirements, making it eligible for direct procurement into U.S. federal, state, and local government networks without grey-market sourcing concerns.
Compatibility
The TAA-170656-002 is engineered as the TAA-compliant variant of the base part number 170656-002. Specifications and mechanical compatibility are identical to the non-TAA version. It integrates with Cradlepoint network devices designed for DIN rail installation and works with standard 35mm DIN rail infrastructure already present in most telecommunications and IT environments. No adapter plates or non-standard hardware are required — the bracket mounts directly into existing DIN rail without modification to standard installation workflows.
Installation Notes
The bracket supports standard 35mm DIN rail mounting. Installation requires no specialized tools beyond a basic mounting procedure into standard DIN rail channels. Verify that your enclosure rail depth and spacing accommodate Cradlepoint equipment dimensions before final installation. The bracket is passive and generates no heat; environmental operating limits are determined by the mounted Cradlepoint device, not the bracket itself.
