TERMS OF USE: All Ethernet cabling runs must use CAT5 (or above). It is the customer’s
responsibility to follow local country regulations, including operation within legal frequency
channels, output power, indoor cabling requirements, and Dynamic Frequency Selection
(DFS) requirements.

Installation Requirements
• Phillips screwdriver (for rack- or wall-mounting)
• Standard-sized, 19" wide rack with a minimum of 1U height
available (for rack-mounting)
• 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
Note: Although the cabling can be located outdoors,
the EdgeSwitch Lite itself should be housed inside a
protective enclosure.
