Hello @fdelrosario,

for pendant (suspended/drop) ceiling mounting, use can use the following:

• AIR-AP-T-RAIL-R (Recessed ceiling rail mount)
• AIR-AP-T-RAIL-F (Flush ceiling rail mount)
• AIR-CHNL-ADAPTER (Ceiling channel adapter for legacy construction)

These are used together with the AP bracket (e.g., AIR-AP-BRACKET-1).

The details can be found at the Cisco Wireless 9178I Series Wi-Fi 7 Access Point Hardware Installation Guide.

As mentioned the post referred above, the brand-new Wi-Fi 7 access points continue to use the same brackets so that APs can easily be exchanged.

HTH!
