Mounting the Phone to the Wall

You can mount the Cisco Unified IP Phone 6901 on the wall by using a standard telephone wall plate
with an opening for an RJ-45 connector. Cisco recommends that you use Leviton Wall Mount plate
(Leviton type number: 4108W-0SP) to wall mount the Cisco Unified IP Phone 6901. For information on
installing the wall mount kit for Cisco Unified IP Phone 6901, see

You can mount the Cisco Unified IP Phone 6911 on the wall by using special brackets available in the
Cisco Unified IP Phone wall mount kit. For information on installing the wall mount kit, see
Appendix E, "Installing the Wall Mount for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 6901 and 6911"
