Installation Requirements

• UniFi AC Mesh Access Point, model UAP-AC-M

• Wall-mounting: drill and 6 mm drill bit

• Pole-mounting: 7 mm socket wrench

• Phillips screwdriver

• 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 UAP-AC-M and the other at the
entry point to the building. The ETH-SP will absorb power
surges and safely discharge them into the ground.

wall in the orientation shown below.

2. Pre-drill the holes using a 6 mm drill bit.

3. Insert a Screw Anchor into each hole.
