Installation of the
TOUGHSwitch PoE PRO
Place the TOUGHSwitch on a bench top or other flat
surface.
Note:
Keep 20 mm of clearance next to the
ventilation holes for adequate airflow.
Installation Requirements
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 from
Ubiquiti Networks. For more details, visit
www.ubnt.com/toughcable
Note:
Although the cabling can be located outdoors,
the TOUGHSwitch itself should be housed inside a
protective enclosure.
Connecting Power
1. Connect the
Power Cord
to the
Power
port of the
TOUGHSwitch.
2. Connect the other end of the
Power Cord
to a power
outlet.
Connecting Ethernet
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port
of your computer to the
Management
port of the
TOUGHSwitch.
2. Connect Ethernet cables from the Ethernet ports
of your devices to the numbered ports of the
TOUGHSwitch.

PoE
is disabled by default on all numbered
ports and is not available on the
