Installation Requirements

Mounting accessories and drain wire are not included.

Pole-Mounting

• Drill with a 4.5 mm Drill Bit

• 7 mm Socket Wrench or Screwdriver

Wall-Mounting

• (2) Screws (≤ 5 mm Screw Head)

• (1) Drain Wire, Optional (≤ 16 AWG, ≤ 40 cm)

Cables

• Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling with drain wire should be used for all wired Ethernet connections and

should be grounded through the AC ground of the PoE.

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

Surge Protection

• Surge protection should be used for all outdoor installations. We recommend that you use two Ethernet Surge Protectors,

model ETH-SP, one near the FiberPoE and the other at the entry point to the building. The ETH-SP will absorb power

surges and safely discharge them into the ground.

product warranty. TOUGHCable™ is designed for outdoor installations. It is the professional

installer’s responsibility to follow local country regulations, including operation within legal frequency channels, output power, and Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements.

Application Examples

Switch/Router

The following are typical use cases for the FiberPoE.

Data Options

Fiber Bridge Two FiberPoE devices, one at the base and one

at the top of the tower, are used to provide a fiber optic data link for protection from EMI events that can cause equipment damage or signal integrity issues.

Ethernet-to-Fiber Converter One FiberPoE at the top of the

tower is used to convert Ethernet to fiber at the radio.

Power Options

On the tower, the FiberPoE can provide PoE power to the radio. Options for providing power to the FiberPoE include:

DC Power Connect a DC power cable to the FiberPoE DC

terminal block.

PoE Power Connect a PoE adapter (power only) to the

FiberPoE RJ45 port.

SFP

SFP This hot-swappable SFP port suppor ts a 1 Gbps link. The

adjacent fiber interface must use autonegotiation; manually

setting it to 1000 Mbps/1 Gbps will not allow the link to come up.

VDC Labeled (+) (–), the VDC Terminal Block provides input or

output power (see the Power Configuration section for details).

Ground Bonding Point with an M5 Machine Screw and Nut

DC In This RJ45 port is only used to supply DC input power.

PoE This RJ45 port provides 1 Gbps data and Power over

Ethernet (PoE) passthrough, and can also be used to supply input power (see the Power Configuration section for details).

Ground Bonding Point The FiberPoE must be grounded in

one of the following ways:

• Use the Self-Tapping Screw to ground the FiberPoE directly to a grounded metal pole or structure.

• Use the M5 Machine Screw and Nut to attach a drain wire (not included) that is connected to a remote grounding block or structure.

Power Configuration

There are three ways to configure the input and output power:

Input Power on Terminal Block

Input Power Output Power

Terminal Block, 24VDC PoE port, 2-pair, 24VDC

Terminal Block, 50VDC PoE port, 4-pair, 50VDC

Power In Power Out

Note: You can use either a single power output

(Terminal Block or PoE port), or both power outputs at the same time.

Note: The FiberPoE relies on the external DC power

source for current-limiting protection.

Note: Input/output polarity for 2-pair PoE is pins

4, 5 (+); 7, 8 (-). Input/Output polarity for 4-pair PoE is pins 1, 2, 4, 5 (+); 3, 6, 7, 8 (-).

Connect a Drain Wire (Optional)

If a drain wire is used to ground the FiberPoE, attach it to the Ground Bonding Point with the M5 Machine Screw and Nut.

At the installation site, secure the other end of the drain wire

to a grounded mast, pole, tower, or grounding bar.

Note: The drain wire should be as short as possible and

no longer than one meter in length.
