Find a flat work surface to assemble the telecom ceiling enclosure and any other network/cellular components prior to
mounting in ceiling.
Step 1 – Place the telecom ceiling enclosure assembly on the work surface with the door facing up and keyed doorway
unlocked. If applicable, remove fiber ingress knockouts (Figure 1) located on the outside edge and back of the box (near key
lock) and install CCH style fiber optic adapter panel according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
Step 3 – If using the optional rack mounting brackets
(Oberon P/Ns 1611 and 1612, not included), adjust the
position of the mounting brackets to allow the
equipment power cord to be plugged into the
receptacle. Install all rack mounted equipment to the
mounting brackets with four (4) #10-32 screws. The
maximum height the enclosure can accommodate is
2U and the maximum length is 14”. The mounting
brackets can be repositioned to fit networking
equipment of various lengths (Figure 3).
Step 4 – (Only for Model 1074-ANT7) If attaching
wireless access points or cellular devices use the
optional T-Bar Bracket (Oberon P/N 1972 not
included). Mount the access point to the bracket per
the manufacturer's directions. Remove hole plugs to
attach antennas to the door of the enclosure (Figure 4).
The assembled unit is now ready for ceiling installation.

Step 6 – Use wire rope support cables (included) to support the telecom enclosure. Attach one end of the wire to the eye tabs
located along the edge of the back box and the other end to a permanent structural component of the building such as a joist.
A supporting grid wire should be attached to all four corners.

Step 2 – Attach the electrical junction box to one of the knockouts located on the bottom of the enclosure (Figure 2) with four
self drilling screws.
**IMPORTANT** - The electrical junction box must be attached to the back box with all four (4) screws for it to be
grounded properly. A power supply outlet MAX 125VAC, 20A should be used.

**IMPORTANT** - This is an important safety feature that could prevent human injury or damage to the equipment
should the unit become dislodged from the ceiling.
Optional Step – Fasten the provided j-hooks to
the backside of the enclosure for cable
management.

Step 7 – Once the telecom enclosure is
installed in the ceiling, run the power cable to
the electric junction box. The junction
box/receptacle should be wired according to
electrical codes.

Installation Instructions
**IMPORTANT** - This procedure should
be done by a trained electrician.
Step 8 – Run the data and power cable (if
required) through the conduit connectors
located on sides of the access point enclosure.
In order to maintain a separation of signal and
power, install the data and power cables
through opposite sides of the enclosure
utilizing the two knock-outs provided. Insert
foam into the conduit connector and pull the
data cable through far enough to allow
attachment to the access point (8" - 10").
Carefully tighten conduit connector around fire
block foam just enough to fill in gaps around
cable. Be careful not to over tighten and crush
the data cable(s), as this can affect cable
performance. Attach any additional data cables
as necessary and power up the networked
devices (these should be plugged into the
power outlet installed in the telecom
enclosure).
Step 9 – Close and lock the access door. The installation is now completed.
Note: The Oberon Model 1074 telecom enclosure is specifically designed to be used with networking equipment no
bigger than 2U deep and 14” in length.

from accidentally swinging open.
3. When opening the enclosure door, be sure to support the door to prevent the door from accidentally falling open.
4. This enclosure has a maximum operating ambient of 55º C (131º F), the temperature within the enclosure may not
exceed this temperature, depending on power dissipation within enclosure.
5. A minimum air clearance of 1“ between the housing of the access point and the enclosure side walls must be
maintained for the safe operation of the equipment.
6. This product is intended to be installed by trained personnel.
7. Only Listed ITE products and Listed AC Receptacles shall be installed within the enclosure.
8. This product is to be repaired by personnel trained by the manufacturer or returned to the manufacturer for repair or
