Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling with drain wire should be used for all
outdoor wired Ethernet connections and should be grounded through the AC
ground of the PoE.
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 ui.com/toughcable
Surge protection should be used for all outdoor installations. We recommend that
you use two Ethernet Surge Protectors, model ETH-SP, one near the UAP-AC-M
and the other at the entry point to the building. The ETH-SP will absorb power
surges and safely discharge them into the ground.
