Use compatible ber SFP+ modules with the appropriate ber optic cabling. For
information about compatible ber SFP+ modules, visit:
community.ubnt.com/uni
For indoor applications, use Category 6A (or above) UTP cabling approved for indoor use.
For outdoor applications, shielded Category 6A (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.
System Requirements
Linux, Mac OS X, or Microsoft Windows 7/8/10

Console Port
RJ45 serial console port for Command Line Interface (CLI) management. Use an RJ45-to-
DB9, serial console cable, also known as a rollover cable, to connect the Console port to
your computer. Then congure the following settings as needed:
Baud rate 115200
Data bits 8
Parity NONE
Stop bits 1

The 48/24VDC input can connect a redundant or stand-alone DC power source (not
included) with minimum power: 56W, 57 to 20V.
Note: You can use the redundant DC power source as a hot spare; if the internal
AC/DC power supply no longer provides power, the UniFi Switch will switch to
the DC power source without interrupting its operation.
Connect the included Power Cord to the Power port.
