FAQ
What is the maximum surge current rating of this Ubiquiti protector?
The Ubiquiti UACC-ETH-SP-Pro has a maximum surge current rating of 20 kA (kiloamperes). This high capacity allows it to handle severe transient voltage spikes, such as those induced by nearby lightning strikes or major power grid disturbances, effectively clamping the surge before it damages connected network devices like switches, access points, or cameras.
Is this surge protector suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, this surge protector is specifically designed for outdoor deployment. It carries an IPX5 ingress protection rating, meaning it is protected against water jets from any direction, making it resistant to rain and weather exposure. Additionally, it operates across a wide temperature range from -22°F to 149°F (-30°C to 65°C), ensuring reliability in both freezing and hot outdoor environments.
How many network ports does this surge protector have?
This protector features two RJ-45 receptacles, allowing you to protect two separate Ethernet lines. This dual-port design is useful for scenarios where you need to safeguard multiple devices or create a protected pass-through connection, such as in point-to-point links or when connecting an outdoor access point and a camera from a single network drop.
What Ethernet speeds does this protector support?
The protector supports Ethernet speeds up to 1.25 Gb/s. This ensures compatibility with gigabit network equipment and prevents bottlenecking in high-speed connections, allowing it to be used in modern network deployments without degrading performance for applications like high-definition video streaming or data-intensive transfers.
What material is the housing made of, and why is it important?
The housing is constructed from polycarbonate, a durable thermoplastic known for its impact resistance, UV stability, and weather resilience. This material choice is crucial for outdoor use because it prevents cracking, fading, and corrosion over time, ensuring the protector maintains its structural integrity and protective capabilities despite prolonged exposure to sunlight, moisture, and temperature fluctuations.
What are the dimensions and weight of this surge protector?
The protector measures 3.58 inches in height, 2.40 inches in width, and 1.28 inches in depth (91 mm x 61 mm x 32.50 mm), with an approximate weight of 3.35 ounces (95 grams). These compact and lightweight dimensions make it easy to install in tight spaces, such as on poles, walls, or within network enclosures, without adding significant bulk or requiring heavy-duty mounting hardware.
What power capacity is listed for this UPS?
Power specifications help show where the unit fits best, including the type of load level, electrical environment, and backup role it is intended to support. These are usually the most decision-critical facts in a UPS or power-protection comparison.
Is this unit designed for rack or tower deployment?
For power-protection products, the most useful FAQ topics are usually capacity, outlet arrangement, runtime characteristics, and installation format. Those details do more to explain real deployment fit than generic marketing language.
