DATASHEET
Protect your networks from harmful
outdoor environments with Ubiquiti’s
industrial-grade shielded Ethernet
cable, TOUGHCable™.
Increase Performance
Dramatically improve your
Ethernet link states, speeds, and
overall performance with Ubiquiti
TOUGHCables.
Extreme Weatherproong
TOUGHCables have been built to
perform even in the harshest weather
and environments.
ESD Damage Protection
Protect your networks from
destructive electrostatic discharge
(ESD) attacks.
Extended Cable Support
TOUGHCables have been developed
to increase power handling
performance for extended cable run
lengths.
TOUGHCable Connectors
Specically designed for use with Ubiquiti TOUGHCables, TOUGHCable
Connectors protect against ESD attacks and Ethernet hardware damage, while
allowing rapid eld deployment without soldering. The standard TOUGHCable
Connectors are available in 100-packs, while the TC-GND versions include ground
wires and are available in 20-packs.
Bulletproof Your networks
TOUGHCable is currently available in
two versions: PRO Shielding Protection
and CARRIER Shielding Protection.
TOUGHCable PRO
A Category 5e, outdoor, carrier-class
shielded cable features an integrated
ESD drain wire.
TOUGHCable CARRIER
A Category5e, outdoor, carrier-class
shielded cable features an integrated
ESD drain wire, anti-crosstalk divider,
and secondary shielding. It is rated
to provide optimal performance on
Gigabit Ethernet networks.
Additional Details
• 24 AWG copper conductor pairs

ESD attacks are the leading cause for
device failures. The diagram below
illustrates the areas vulnerable to ESD
attacks in a network.
