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-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.
