Installation Requirements

• Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling with drain wire
should be used for all outdoor 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 www.ubnt.com/toughcable

• Surge protection should be used for all outdoor installations.
We recommend that you use two Ethernet Surge Protectors,
model ETH‑SP, one near the NanoStation loco and the other
at the entry point to the building. The ETH‑SP will absorb
power surges and safely discharge them into the ground.
