About This Device
The W2255 is Cradlepoint's current outdoor 5G wideband adapter, and the 170941-000 is how it gets onto the structure: a factory outdoor mounting kit covering both exterior-wall and pole installations. The hardware engages the W2255's mounting geometry directly, carrying its weight and wind load the way the housing was engineered to be carried - a meaningful difference from improvised strut-and-clamp solutions that stress the enclosure at unplanned points. For fleet rollouts, one kit SKU per site keeps the BOM clean and the installs identical, whether the signal survey lands the adapter on brick, siding, or a rooftop mast.
Outdoor adapters live where wind, ice, and thermal cycling work on every fastener - factory mounting hardware is the difference between a ten-year install and a service call.
Fix the kit at the surveyed location - lagged to the wall or secured to the pole - hang the W2255, and dress the Ethernet entry with its gasket and a drip loop. Torque check on the first seasonal visit.
Cloud Care Networks stocks the Cradlepoint 170941-000 alongside the gateways and routers it supports, so IT and field-service teams can consolidate antennas, spares, and replacement hardware on a single order.
