Installation of the

TOUGHSwitchPoEPRO

Place the TOUGHSwitch on a bench top or other flat

surface.

Note: Keep 20 mm of clearance next to the

ventilation holes for adequate airflow.

Installation Requirements

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. For more details, visit

www.ubnt.com/toughcable

Note: Although the cabling can be located outdoors,

the TOUGHSwitch itself should be housed inside a

protective enclosure.

Connecting Power

1. Connect the Power Cord to the Power port of the

TOUGHSwitch.

2. Connect the other end of the Power Cord to a power

outlet.

Connecting Ethernet

1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port

of your computer to the Management port of the

TOUGHSwitch.

2. Connect Ethernet cables from the Ethernet ports

of your devices to the numbered ports of the

TOUGHSwitch.

Note: PoE is disabled by default on all numbered

ports and is not available on the Management port.

To enable PoE on the appropriate ports, use the Ports

tab in the Configuration Interface (see “PoE” on

page 24).
