Installation Requirements

•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 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

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the EdgeRouter to rain or moisture.

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