Installation of the
TOUGHSwitch PoE CARRIER
Installation Requirements
• Phillips and flathead screwdrivers
• Standard‑sized, 19" wide rack with a minimum of 1U
height available
• 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

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