About This Device
Industrial control panels standardize on DIN rail, and network hardware that cannot rail-mount ends up zip-tied, shelved, or velcroed - none of which survives an inspection or a vibration test. The 170904-001 is Cradlepoint's DIN rail mount bracket for the R9x0 router series and S7x0/S4x0 switch series: it fixes to the device's chassis mounting points and snaps onto standard rail, holding the hardware rigidly alongside the PLCs, relays, and power supplies it serves. For machine builders and system integrators shipping panels at volume, it turns Cradlepoint connectivity into a standard catalog line item with a repeatable mounting detail.
Mounting is compliance in panel work - a factory bracket with a part number closes the documentation gap that improvised mounts leave open.
Fix the bracket to the device's mounting points, snap the assembly onto the rail, and dress power and Ethernet along the panel's wireways. Removal is a screwdriver-and-snap operation when the hardware rotates out.
Cloud Care Networks stocks the Cradlepoint 170904-001 alongside the gateways and routers it supports, so IT and field-service teams can consolidate antennas, spares, and replacement hardware on a single order.
