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.
Hardware Installation
IMPORTANT: Fanless switches must not be stacked. Do not place this UniFi
Switch on top of another switch. Do not place anything on top of this UniFi
Switch.
