Overview

The MA-UMNT-MR-A2 is a universal mounting adapter designed to simplify the transition from Cisco EN access points to Cisco Meraki access points. This mount works with MR33, MR42/42E, MR44, MR52, MR53/53E, MR45/55, MR36/46/46E/56 indoor access points. The universal mounting adapter can be attached directly to the Cisco universal bracket without the need to remove this bracket from its current mounting location.

Note: The MA-UMNT-MR-A2 is not compatible with any outdoor MR access point.
