Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling with drain wire should be used for all wired
Ethernet connections and should be grounded through the AC ground of the PoE.
We recommend that you protect your networks from harmful outdoor environments
and destructive ESD events with industrial-grade, shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti.

Surge protection should be used for all outdoor installations. We recommend that you
use two Ethernet Surge Protectors, model ETH-SP-G2, one near the device and the other
at the entry point to the building. The ETH-SP-G2 will absorb power surges and safely
discharge them into the ground.
Note: For guidelines about grounding and lightning protection, follow your
local electrical regulatory codes.
