Overview:
The ETH-SP is engineered to protect any Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) or non-PoE device with connection speeds of up to 1 Gbps.
ESD Protection for Outdoor High-Speed Networks
Introducing the Ethernet Surge Protector, model ETH-SP, from Ubiquiti Networks. The ETH-SP is a cost-effective solution for protecting outdoor Ethernet devices from damaging electrostatic discharge and surges. Since all Ubiquiti airMAX devices already have robust ESD protection built in, adding the ETH-SP to the installation provides an additional layer of protection to the network.
The ETH-SP is engineered to protect Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) or non-PoE devices with connection speeds of up to 1 Gbps. Two passive, surge-protected RJ45 connections provide maximum equipment compatibility.
Ideal for WISP Networks
All Ubiquiti airMAX devices are equipped with ESD protection. However, to protect outdoor devices, and to meet certain local code requirements, installing the ETH-SP is essential.
For example, to guard against costly service calls, and to help your subscriber installations meet code requirements, install two ETH-SPs: one near the CPE, and the other at the entry point to the building. Damaging ESD attacks and surges will be absorbed by the ETH-SPs and safely discharged into the ground.
Features:
ESD Protection for Outdoor PoE Devices
Damaging electrostatic discharge attacks and surges are diverted to the ETH-SP and safely discharged into the ground, so network devices are protected.
Additional ESD Protection
All Ubiquiti airMAX devices are equipped with built-in ESD protection, so the ETH-SP adds another layer of protection to your outdoor, high-speed network.
Plug and Play Installation
Connect the ground and Ethernet cables in between your network devices.
Fast Installation
The ETH-SP was designed for easy, plug and play installation:

Bulletproof your networks
TOUGHCable is currently available in two versions: PRO Shielding Protection and CARRIER Shielding Protection.
TOUGHCable PRO is a Category 5e, outdoor, carrier-class shielded cable with an integrated ESD drain wire.
TOUGHCable CARRIER is a Category 6, outdoor, carrier-class shielded cable that features an integrated ESD drain wire, anti-crosstalk divider, and secondary shielding. It is rated to provide optimal performance on Gigabit Ethernet networks.
Additional Information:
- 24 AWG copper conductor pairs
- 26 AWG integrated ESD drain wire to prevent ESD attacks and damage
- PE outdoor-rated, weatherproof jacket
- Multi-layered shielding
- Available in lengths of 1000 ft (304.8 m)
TOUGHCable Connectors
Specifically designed for use with Ubiquiti TOUGHCable, TOUGHCable Connectors protect against ESD attacks and Ethernet hardware damage, while allowing rapid field deployment without soldering. The standard TOUGHCable Connectors are available in a box of 100, while the TC-GND versions include ground wires and are available in a box of 20.
| ESD Attacks are overwhelmingly the leading cause for device failures. The diagram below illustrates the areas vulnerable to ESD Attacks in a defenseless network. |
By using a grounded Ubiquiti Power over Ethernet (PoE) Adapter along with Ubiquiti TOUGHCable and TOUGHCable Connectors, you can effectively protect against ESD attacks. |
