Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X Quick Start Manual

EdgeRouter X
Installation 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. To enhance ESD protection, attach a
ground wire (not included) to the back panel of the EdgeRouter.
We recommend that you protect your networks from harmful outdoor
environments and destructive ESD events with industrial-grade, shielded
Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti. For more details, visit:
Note: Although the cabling can be located outdoors, the EdgeRouter
itself should be housed inside a protective enclosure.
Power Options
The EdgeRouter can be powered by either method:
Power adapter
24V passive PoE on the eth0/PoE In port
Passive PoE output on port eth4/PoE Out works as a passthrough and depends
on the input power source.
If the included Power Adapter (12V, 0.5A) is used, there may not be sufficient
passthrough to power another device because the EdgeRouter can consume up
to 5 watts on its own.
We recommend using a more powerful input power source (not included); here
are a few examples of viable power input options for passive PoE passthrough:
