After bootup, the LED indicates
power. After an initial link is
established, the LED indicates a
10/100 Mbps connection. If the link
terminates, the LED turns off until
a link is re-established. If the unit
reboots, the LED will again indicate
power until a link is established.

WARNING: FAILURE TO PROVIDE PROPER VENTILATION

MAY CAUSE FIRE HAZARD. KEEP AT LEAST 20 MM OF
CLEARANCE NEXT TO THE VENTILATION HOLES FOR
ADEQUATE AIRFLOW.

Installation Requirements

• Drill, 6 mm drill bit, and Phillips screwdriver (wall-mounting)

• 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

Important: Although the cabling can be located

outdoors, the TOUGHSwitch itself should be housed
inside a protective enclosure.

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

do not expose this TOUGHSwitch to rain or moisture.

Wall-Mounting

To mount the TOUGHSwitch on a wall:

1. Use a 6 mm drill bit to drill two holes 60 mm apart.

2. Insert the Anchors into the holes.

3. Use a Phillips screwdriver to secure a Screw to each anchor.

Leave a clearance of approximately 3 mm between each
screw head and its anchor.

60 mm

3 mm

Note: You can also mount the TOUGHSwitch in a

horizontal orientation.

4. Position the wall-mount slots of the TOUGHSwitch over the

screw heads on the wall. Then slide the TOUGHSwitch to
the left to lock it into place.
