FAQs
What does plenum-rated mean and why does it matter?
Plenum-rated means the access point is approved for installation in return air plenums and air handling spaces above drop ceilings. This compliance is essential for building codes and safety standards in professional office environments, as non-plenum equipment can release toxic fumes if exposed to high temperatures in these spaces.
Does this access point include a power adapter?
No, the AP6 420E is supplied as a plain unit without a power adapter or PoE injector. You will need to source these separately based on your deployment requirements—either a standard power adapter or a PoE-enabled switch/injector for network-based power delivery.
How is the Sophos AP6 420E managed?
It is cloud-managed exclusively through Sophos Central, Sophos's unified management platform. This allows you to manage your wireless network alongside firewalls, endpoint protection, email security, and other Sophos solutions from a single dashboard, with remote management and configuration capabilities.

The AP6 420E supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), the latest generation standard offering improved performance, capacity, and efficiency compared to earlier Wi-Fi standards.
What mounting options are available?
The AP6 420E can be mounted on a desktop, on a wall, or on a ceiling. Its plenum-rated design makes it suitable for professional ceiling installations in air handling spaces.
