Installation Requirements

7 mm socket wrench

S2 hex wrench

Ground wire – min. 10 AWG (5 mm ) and max. length: 1 m. As a safety precaution, ground

the EdgePoint to a grounded mast, pole, tower, or grounding bar.

Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling 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

Power Options

Either the VDC or PoE input type is used at any one time. If both are connected, only the input

type with the highest voltage will be used; the other can be used as a backup.

Both PoE inputs can be used at the same time. If there is a voltage diﬀerence, the higher-

voltage source will be used rst. The voltage from the initial source will drop as the load

increases. When the voltage drops to the same level as the lower-voltage source, then the

lower-voltage source will also start providing power.

Power Input Options

54VDC, 6A

54V, 1.5A on eth0 (PoE In)

54V, 1.5A on PoE In

Power Output Options

EdgePoint (required)

Passive 54/24V, 4-Pair PoE on eth1-eth2

Passive 24V, 2-Pair PoE on

eth3-eth7

The number of devices that can be powered depends on the power consumption of the

specic devices and the power input option. Example: If you provide 54VDC, 1.5A, then you

have 81W of power. If the EdgePoint uses 40W (Max. Power Consumption), then you have

41W available for passive PoE output. Check product specications for the power

consumption values to use in your calculations.

to learn how to reset the EdgePoint to factory defaults.

RJ45 serial console port for Command Line Interface (CLI) management.

Note:

Remove the protective plug from the Console port before use.

Terminal block connector uses auto-polarity detection and accepts +42 to +56VDC, 6A

input (including the Ubiquiti EdgePower™, model EP-54V-150W) to power the EdgePoint

and passive PoE output. -48V is NOT supported.

RJ45 port accepts 54V, 1.5A PoE input from a secondary PoE adapter (not included) to

power the EdgePoint and passive PoE output.

RJ45 port supports a 10/100/1000 Ethernet connection and accepts data and 54V, 1.5A

PoE input from the included Gigabit PoE Adapter to power the EdgePoint and passive PoE

output.

RJ45 ports support 10/100/1000 Ethernet connections and passive 54/24V, 4-pair PoE

output for airFiber® devices.

RJ45 ports support 10/100/1000 Ethernet connections and passive 24V, 2-pair PoE output

for airMAX® devices.

RJ45 port eth6 and SFP 1 port are combination ports; eth6 is active only if the SFP 1 port is

empty.

RJ45 port eth7 and SFP 2 port are combination ports; eth7 is active only if the SFP 2 port is

empty.

USB Port

SFP 1 - 2 Ports

Reserved for future use.

SFP ports are hot-swappable and support 100 Mbps or Gigabit ber SFP modules.

If an SFP module is plugged into the SFP 1 port, then the SFP port is active, and the RJ45

port eth6 is deactivated.

If an SFP module is plugged into the SFP 2 port, then the SFP port is active, and the RJ45

port eth7 is deactivated.

Note:

For installations with extreme temperatures, please use industrial-grade

ber SFP modules.

mounting.

Used for mounting an optional PicoStationM2HP (not included) to the back of the

EdgePoint. (You can use the PicoStationM2HP for wireless management of the EdgePoint.)

Used to secure a ground wire (not included).

Attaching the Cable Sleeve

Note:

You have two options for using a 2.0-inch NPT (National Pipe Thread) male

conduit (not included):

Use the conduit instead of the Cable Sleeve.

Use the conduit to extend the Cable Sleeve.
