TERMS OF USE: Ubiquiti radio devices must be professionally installed. Shielded Ethernet
cable and earth grounding must be used as conditions of product warranty. TOUGHCable™is
designed for outdoor installations. It is the professional installer’s responsibility to follow local
country regulations, including operation within legal frequency channels, output power, and
Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements.
Installation Requirements
• The IS-5AC comes with a default horn, the Horn-5-45.
However, the IS-5AC can also be used with one of the
following antennas (not included):
• Horn-5-30
• Horn-5-60
• Horn-5-90
• U-OMT-Dish
• 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
Networks. For more details, visit
www.ubnt.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 IsoStation and the other at the
entry point to the building. The ETH-SP will absorb power
surges and safely discharge them into the ground.
