The Model 1442 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 within the backbox onto an included mounting bracket or T-bar bracket. The cover attaches to the to the back-box with torsion springs and conceals the AP.

Alternately, AP-specific trims are also available to mount the AP flush to the ceiling.
