When you order a Sophos license from us please make sure you include the license number or current hardware appliance serial number. Licenses generally take around 24 - 36 working hours to be issued after order.

In some instances you may find we show out of stock for certain hardware models. This is fairly normal and reflects the fact, often that we have to place what is called a back to back order. When you order with us, we order with Sophos and the unit is shipped in to the country. Please allow around 10 working days where we show as out of stock.

The Sophos APX Mounting Bracket Kit for Plenum & Flat Ceiling Mount (SKU: APXZTCHCB) is the official optional accessory for installing Sophos APX 320, APX 530 and APX 740 access points on flat ceilings and plenum spaces. Each of these access points ships with a standard bracket for wall hanging and ceiling-rail mounting. This kit extends those options so your wireless access point can be positioned neatly and securely in a wider range of ceiling environments.

The kit is designed around a simple, secure sliding-slot system. A fix-plate attaches to the rear of the access point, while the main bracket is fixed to the ceiling. The access point then aligns via the keyholes and slides into place, with springs holding it in position.

Key Features

• Flat ceiling mounting - fix the main bracket to a concrete ceiling using wall anchors and screws, or to a ceiling tile using screws and nuts (fixings for the ceiling are not supplied)
• Plenum mounting - the plenum mount clip attaches to the hanger frame, then connects to the main bracket
• Fix-plate - attaches to the rear of the access point
• Main bracket - fixed to the ceiling, with keyholes, screw holes for ceiling mounting and springs
• 4x M3 step screws for fitting the fix-plate to the access point
• Plenum mount clip plus 2x M4 screws and nuts (not needed for flat ceiling mounting)
• Sliding-slot design - align the access point via the keyholes and push it to the end of the slot
• Official Sophos accessory built specifically for the APX 320, 530 and 740

Installation Overview

For a flat ceiling: place the fix-plate on the rear of the access point, install the four M3 step screws, fix the main bracket to the ceiling, then align and slide the access point into the main bracket. For plenum mounting, the plenum clip is installed onto the hanger frame using an M4 or M5 screw (not supplied) and the main bracket is connected to the clip using two of the supplied screws. Sophos advises that the plenum mounting kit should be installed by a skilled installer.
