Wall-mount bracket
To wall-mount a BCM50 unit (main unit or expansion unit), you need a wall-mount bracket. The
wall-mount bracket is attached to the wall, and the unit is connected to the wall-mount bracket. If
the BCM50 system includes additional units, you need a wall-mount bracket for each unit.
Each wall-mount bracket includes a cable-management tray that you use to store and organize the
cables connected to the BCM50 units. See the figure
Wall-mount bracket on page 49.
