Magnetic mounts
Magnetic Mounts are designed for fast, flexible, and tool-free deployment of Omada devices. Featuring strong magnetic attachment, these accessories allow gateways to be securely mounted on metal surfaces while also supporting traditional screw mounting when needed.
When to choose a magnetic mount
Choose a Magnetic Mount when:
- The installation surface is made of a magnetic metal, such as steel or iron.
- Fast deployment and maintenance are priorities.
- Drilling or permanent modification is undesirable.
- The gateway is deployed in cabinets, enclosures, or industrial environments.
Rackmount hardware
Rackmount Hardware helps integrate desktop-sized networking devices into standard rack environments, enabling cleaner cable management and centralized equipment deployment.

Conclusion
Selecting the right mounting accessory depends on three key factors: device type, installation environment, and mounting method. For rack-based deployments, choose the appropriate RackMount solution. For metal cabinets and electrical enclosures, Magnetic Mounts provide a fast and flexible installation option. For access point deployments, use OJB and APM accessories according to the mounting location, while APM-200 is the preferred choice for outdoor pole installations.
By matching the accessory to the deployment scenario, you can achieve a cleaner, more secure, and more efficient network installation.
