Installation of the

TOUGHSwitchPoECARRIER

Installation Requirements

• Phillips and flathead screwdrivers

• Standard‑sized, 19" wide rack with a minimum of 1U

height available

• 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

Note: Although the cabling can be located

outdoors, the TOUGHSwitch PoE CARRIER itself

should be housed inside a protective enclosure.

Hardware Installation

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

TOUGHSwitch.

2. Attach the TOUGHSwitch PoE CARRIER to the rack

using the four 10-32 x 5/8 Phillips Screws. (If the rack has

square slots, then use the 10-32 x 5/8 Cage Nuts with the

Phillips Screws.)

Note: Keep 20 mm of clearance next to the

ventilation holes for adequate airflow.

3. Attach the top portion of the faceplate at a slight angle,

and then snap on the bottom portion. Secure the

faceplate to the TOUGHSwitch PoE CARRIER using the

two M3x8 FlatheadScrews.

4. Connect the other end of each Power Cord to a power

outlet.
