airFiber

 User Guide

 Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.

Installation Requirements

• 

17 mm wrench

• 

13 mm socket wrench or driver

• 

Clear line of sight between airFiber radios

• 

Clear view of the sky for proper GPS operation

• 

Mounting location with < 0.5 degree displacement due 
to twist and sway under wind loading 

• 

Mounting point:

• 

At least 1 meter below the highest point on the 
structure

• 

For tower installations, at least 3 meters below the 
top of the tower

• 

Ground wire - min. 8 AWG (8.37mm

2

), max. length: 

1 meter

• 

(Recommended) 2 Outdoor Gigabit PoE surge 
protectors

Note:

 For guidelines about grounding and 

lightning protection, follow your local National 
Electrical Code (NEC) standards.

• 

Outdoor, shielded Category 5e (or above) cabling 
should be used for all wired Ethernet connections. 
Category 6 is required for installations with long cable 

runs (up to 100 m).

We recommend that you protect your networks from 
the most brutal environments and devastating ESD 
attacks with industrial-grade shielded Ethernet cable 
from Ubiquiti Networks. For more details, visit

Installation Instructions

We recommend that you configure your paired airFiber 
radios before mounting. To configure device settings 
in the airFiber Configuration Interface, you will need 
to connect Power over Ethernet to the 

DATA

 port and 

connect an Ethernet cable between your computer and 
the 

CONFIG

 port. Once you have completed configuration, 

disconnect the cables to move the airFiber radios, and 
then reconnect at the site. After you have mounted the 
airFiber radios, then you can establish and optimize the 

RF link.

Connecting Power over Ethernet

1.  Press down on the indicator arrows and slide the 

Port 

Cover

 off.

2.  Connect an Ethernet cable to the 

DATA

 port.

3.  Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable from the 

DATA

 port to the Ethernet port labeled 

POE

 on the 

PoE 

Adapter
