FAQ
What is the primary use case for the Ubiquiti UBB-XG Building Bridge XG?
The UBB-XG is designed as a point-to-point wireless bridge for connecting two wired networks over a distance without running physical cables. It's ideal for linking separate buildings, extending network coverage to remote areas, or providing backhaul for outdoor devices where trenching or cabling is impractical or costly.
What wireless standards and frequency does this bridge support?
This bridge supports IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac standards, commonly known as Wi-Fi 5. It operates exclusively on the 5 GHz frequency band, which offers less congestion and interference compared to the 2.4 GHz band, making it suitable for reliable high-speed backhaul connections.
Does the UBB-XG support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, the UBB-XG includes a PoE PD (Power over Ethernet Powered Device) port. This allows the bridge to receive both data and power over a single Ethernet cable from a PoE switch or injector, simplifying installation by eliminating the need for a separate power source at the mounting location.
What is the wireless transmission speed of this bridge?
The UBB-XG delivers wireless transmission speeds up to 6 Gbit/s (gigabits per second). This high throughput supports bandwidth-intensive applications like video streaming, large file transfers, and real-time data synchronization between connected networks, with Ubiquiti noting it can be up to 10 times faster than standard Ethernet in some deployments.
Is the UBB-XG suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes, the UBB-XG is built for outdoor use with an IPX6 ingress protection rating, meaning it's protected against heavy rain and water jets. Its pole-mountable form factor and durable construction make it ideal for installation on poles, building exteriors, or towers in various weather conditions.
How many Ethernet ports does the UBB-XG have, and what type are they?
The UBB-XG has one network port, which is an RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet port. This port supports both data connectivity and PoE PD for power, allowing a single cable to handle all connectivity needs when connected to a compatible PoE source.
