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.
Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.
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.
