Installation Requirements
• Phillips screwdriver (for rack‑ or wall‑mounting)
• Standard‑sized, 19" wide rack with a minimum of 1U height
available (for rack‑mounting)
• 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 outdoor networks
from the most brutal environments and devastating ESD
attacks with industrial‑grade shielded Ethernet cable,
TOUGHCable™, from Ubiquiti Networks. For more details,

Note: Although the cabling can be located outdoors,
the EdgeSwitch itself should be housed inside a
protective enclosure.
