Customers may wish to use a NEMA type enclosure to install an AP in harsh environments where the 
AP may be exposed to weather, such as sporting areas, stadiums, open garden areas or warehouse 
freezers. There are several third-party sources for NEMA type enclosures.

Some APs may not be certified for outdoor deployments in a NEMA enclosure. For example, in some 
areas of the world, regulatory agencies may permit AP outdoor NEMA enclosures if the AP is indoors 
(such as a freezer or garden area) but may prohibit use of those NEMA enclosures outdoors. This seems 
to vary with weather radar compliance, UNII-1 compliance, and so forth. Check with your local Cisco 
account team or the communications regulatory agency for your area.

Cables should exit from the bottom of the NEMA type enclosure so that rain and moisture do not run 
down the cable into the enclosure. The color of the enclosure may affect the heat rating; for example, a 
black enclosure gets much hotter in the sun than a white one. You may also want to use a pressure vent 
to prevent moisture accumulation. (See 

.)

If the access point is installed with a “side arm” type mount or is installed in locations where there may 
be high vibration, use a padlock or metal pin to secure the AP so it does not loosen or fall off the bracket. 
(See 

.) McMaster offers a suitable pin (P/N 90319A120). Avoid use of plastic ties, which 

deteriorate over time.
