* Included only in the single-pack of the UAP-AC-M
Installation Requirements
Wall-mounting: Drill and 6 mm drill bit
Phillips screwdriver
Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling with drain wire should be used for all outdoor
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 UAP-AC-M and
the other at the entry point to the building. The ETH-SP will absorb power surges and
safely discharge them into the ground.
