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 EdgeSwitch to rain or moisture.
Note: Although the cabling can be located outdoors,
the EdgeSwitch itself should be housed inside a
protective enclosure.
TERMS OF USE: All Ethernet cabling runs must use CAT5 (or above). It is the professional
installer’s responsibility to follow local country regulations, including operation within legal
frequency channels, output power, indoor cabling requirements, and Dynamic Frequency
Selection (DFS) requirements.

Hardware Installation
The EdgeSwitch can be placed on a horizontal surface,
mounted on a wall, or mounted in a rack (brackets not
included). The optional EdgeRouter™Rackmount Kit, model
ER‑RMKIT, is sold separately.
Follow the Wall Mounting instructions to mount the
EdgeSwitch using the included screws and anchors.
WARNING: FAILURE TO PROVIDE PROPER VENTILATION
MAY CAUSE FIRE HAZARD. KEEP AT LEAST 20 MM OF
CLEARANCE NEXT TO THE VENTILATION HOLES FOR
ADEQUATE AIRFLOW.
WARNING: The EdgeSwitch ES‑10XP must not be stacked.
Do not place it on top of another switch. Do not place
anything on top of the ES‑10XP.
Wall Mounting
To mount the EdgeSwitch on a wall, you will need a drill, a
6mm drill bit, and a Phillips screwdriver.
1. Use a 6 mm drill bit to drill two holes 148 mm apart.
2. Insert the Wall Mount Anchors into the holes. Use a Phillips
screwdriver to secure a Wall Mount Screw to each anchor.
Leave a clearance of approximately 3 mm between each
screw head and its anchor.
148 mm
3 mm
Note: You can also mount the EdgeSwitch in a
vertical orientation.

3. Position the EdgeSwitch with the Ethernet ports facing
down. Place the wall‑mount slots of the EdgeSwitch over
the screw heads on the wall. Then slide the EdgeSwitch
down to lock it into place.
Grounding the EdgeSwitch (Recommended)
The EdgeSwitch is grounded through the Power Adapter;
however, you can add optional ESD grounding for enhanced
ESD protection.
1. Attach the Ground Screw to secure a ground wire (not
included) to the Grounding Point.
2. Optional: To secure the Power Adapter cord, insert it
into the Cable Clip and secure the Cable Clip using the
GroundScrew.
3. Secure the other end of the ground wire to a grounding block.

Connecting Power
1. Connect the Power Adapter to the Power port.
2. Connect the Power Cord to the Power Adapter.
3. Connect the other end of the Power Cord to a power outlet.

Connecting Ethernet
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your DHCP server or LAN
system to any port on the EdgeSwitch.
2. Connect your computer or host system and other devices
to the other ports on the EdgeSwitch.
