Installation Requirements
Phillips screwdriver
13 mm wrench
7 mm socket wrench or screwdriver
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. For more details, visit ui.com/toughcable
Surge protection should be used for all outdoor installations. We recommend
that you use two Ethernet Surge Protectors, model ETH-SP, one near the
LiteBeam and the other at the entry point to the building. The ETH-SP will
absorb power surges and safely discharge them into the ground.
Application Examples
The LiteBeam AC mounted outdoors with the reflector installed provides
directional outdoor coverage (gain reflector-dependent).
