Mounting Screws
The two mounting holes on the back of the unit are designed to accommodate the following
screw type:
Larger than 7mm wide (.28") and less than 14mm wide (.55")
Screw shaft < 3mm in diameter (.12")
Screw length > 6mm (.24") and less than 20mm long. (.79")
Depending on the material you are attaching to, use a screw of sufficient length and strength
to support the GigaSpire BLAST u4/u4m once attached to the bracket. See below for
specifications on what type of screw is recommended.
Additional Mounting Considerations
The options for mounting a GigaSpire BLAST system are many. From a best practice’s
standpoint, keep the following in mind:
Calix recommends mounting the device as high as possible for Wi-Fi performance
reasons. However, this deployment scenario still mandates that an AC power outlet is
located within the power cord distance of the Wi-Fi source. If installing in a greenfield
environment (initial installation), plan on placing the GigaSpire BLAST within 4 feet of
the power supply. As an alternative, longer power cords are available to extend the
distance between the u4/u4m and the power supply.
Calix also recommends keeping cabling neat and well secured wherever possible. A tidy
installation allows for increased safety and an overall neater appearance. Common tools
used for this purpose include cable ties and velcro straps for routing cable out of the way.
Also, custom made wall plates are often used where the majority of cabling is hidden
behind a wall.
