™

PoE Quick Start Guide

Hardware Installation

Mount the EdgeRouter PoE on a wall or place it on a bench top.

Note: Keep 20 mm of clearance next to the ventilation

holes for adequate airflow.

Cabling Requirements

• For indoor applications, use Category 5 (or above) UTP cabling

approved for indoor use.

• For outdoor applications, shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling

should be used for all wired Ethernet connections and should

be grounded through the AC ground of the power supply. We

recommend that you protect your outdoor networks from the

most brutal environments and devastating ESD attacks with

industrial‑grade shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti Networks.

Note: Although the cabling can be located outdoors,

the EdgeRouter PoE itself should be housed inside a

protective enclosure.

Wall-Mounting

To mount the EdgeRouter PoE on a wall, you will need a drill, a

6mm drill bit, and a Phillips screwdriver.

1. Use a 6 mm drill bit to drill two holes 100 mm apart. (You can

use the template on page 16 to mark the holes.)

2. Insert the M2.9 Anchors into the holes. Use a Phillips screwdriver

to secure a M2.9x20 Screw to each anchor. Leave a clearance of

approximately 3 mm between each screw head and its anchor.
