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. For more details, visit: ui.com/toughcable
Note: Although the cabling can be located outdoors, the UniFi Switch
itself should be housed inside a protective enclosure.
