Installation Requirements

• For indoor applications, use Category 5 (or above) UTP
cabling approved for indoor use.

• For outdoor applications, shielded Category 5 (or above)
cabling should be used for all wired Ethernet connections
and should be grounded through the AC ground of the
power supply.

We recommend that you protect your networks from
harmful outdoor environments and destructive ESD events
with industrial‑grade, shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti
Networks. For more details, visit: www.ubnt.com/toughcable

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,

do not expose the EdgeSwitch to rain or moisture.

Note: Although the cabling can be located outdoors,

the EdgeSwitch itself should be housed inside a
protective enclosure.

TERMS OF USE: All Ethernet cabling runs must use CAT5 (or above). It is the professional
installer’s responsibility to follow local country regulations, including operation within legal
frequency channels, output power, indoor cabling requirements, and Dynamic Frequency
Selection (DFS) requirements.
