1042 Overview

The Model 1042 In-Plane™ series offers the simplest way to mount APs and antennas from most leading vendors into existing hard (drywall/sheetrock) ceilings up to 1.5 in. thick, for an aesthetic, professional installation. A cutout is made in the ceiling and the all metal back-box is fastened into the ceiling. The AP fastens to the appropriate trim, and the AP/trim attaches to the to the back-box with torsion springs. The AP is recessed into the ceiling much like a recessed light fixture, with only the front face exposed for optimal wireless coverage. The AP trim is easily swapped for new trim when AP brand or model changes. See configuration guide in specs for other AP-specific trims.
