Pole Bracket Installation

Mount the Cisco universal mounting bracket to a pole.

Before you begin

The hardware items required:

  • Pole (max 2.125” diameter)

  • Bracket

  • 2x U-bolts

  • 4x Plate washers

  • 4x Spring washers

  • 4x Nuts

The installation procedure provides instructions to pole mount the universal mounting bracket (ANT-MK-U).

Procedure

Step 1

Align the Universal Pole Mounting Bracket to a pole.

  • Position the bracket at the desired height and orientation.

  • The horizontal slotted antenna-mounting plate at the top.

  • The vertical bracket face aligned with the pole.

  • The upper and lower U-bolt positions aligned with the corresponding upper and lower bracket openings.

Step 2

Install the V-bolts.

Insert the V-bolts around the pole, threading the legs through the designated mounting holes on the bracket.

Step 3

Insert the hardware in order over each V-bolt leg.

  1. Plate washer against the bracket.

  2. Spring washer over the plate washer.

  3. Nut on the spring washer.

Step 4

Secure the bolts.

  1. Ensure that the bracket is level and centered.

  2. Tighten the nuts to a torque of 18–22 in-lbs (2–2.5 Nm) using a wrench.

  3. Maintain an even gap between the bracket and the pole by tightening the nuts in a diagonal cross-pattern.

What to do next

Install a supported antenna to the bracket.
