Power Port
This DC input provides redundant power when the UniFi Switch is connected to the
UniFi SmartPower Redundant Power System, model USP-RPS, via the USP Cable (not
included). If there is an AC power loss or internal power supply failure, the UniFi Switch
will draw power from the USP-RPS instead.
Connect the included Power Cord to the Power port.
Installation Requirements
Phillips screwdriver
Standard-sized, 19" wide rack with a minimum of 1U height available
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.

Note: Although the cabling can be located outdoors, the UniFi Switch itself
should be housed inside a protective enclosure.
