Ethernet is ethernet. You can connect a WAP using media converters in exactly the same way you'd connect any other Ethernet device.

Obviously, you can't run POE over fiber, so you'll have to power the AP locally, or using a power injector colocated with the media converter.

Assuming you buy it new, the AP will come with a mounting bracket.

Thanks Gamccall,

I am supporting the site remotly, also the AP is not New, available at site so need mounting options ?

I will use local power to power the AP

Thanks...

The easiest option will be to buy a spare bracket; the part number will be specific to whatever model AP you purchased.
