Installation
Determine the installation location of the UAP FlexHD:
Desktop The UAP FlexHD stands freely on a horizontal surface such as a desktop or
table/shelf. Good for temporary installations.
Wall The UAP FlexHD is attached to a wall in a secure location.
Ceiling The UAP FlexHD is mounted in a ceiling tile (requires optional recessed
ceiling mount assembly, sold separately).
Pole The UAP FlexHD is attached to a pole (indoor or outdoor).
Note: When installing Ethernet cabling on a pole or up the outer surface of a
wall, use RJ45 connectors without strain-relief boots on them. This will prevent
unnecessary tension on the cable ends.
Cable without a strain-relief boot Cable with a strain-relief boot
Proceed to the appropriate section for your installation.
