Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key networking specifications of the Ubiquiti PS-5AC-US?
The Ubiquiti PS-5AC-US is an IEEE 802.11ac wireless bridge operating at 5 GHz with 450 Mbit/s throughput. It features one 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet port and supports both Access Point and Station modes, making it suitable for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless deployments. The device includes dual RP-SMA waterproof RF connectors for flexible antenna configurations.
Is the Ubiquiti PS-5AC-US suitable for outdoor pole-mounted installations?
Yes, the PS-5AC-US is designed as a pole-mountable wireless bridge with a die-cast aluminum enclosure featuring white powder coating for outdoor durability. It operates across an extended temperature range of -40 to 80°C and supports 5 to 95% noncondensing humidity, making it suitable for harsh outdoor warehouse and logistics environments.
What power supply options are available for the PS-5AC-US?
The PS-5AC-US operates on 24V passive PoE (Power over Ethernet) using pairs 4, 5+ and 7, 8 for return, with a maximum power consumption of 9.5W. A 24V, 1A Gigabit PoE adapter is included with the device, and it supports a voltage range of 18-26VDC for flexible power deployment in warehouse and logistics facilities.
What security features does the Ubiquiti PS-5AC-US provide?
The PS-5AC-US implements WPA2 AES encryption as its primary security standard, along with support for multiple authentication services including SSH Server and Telnet. The device also provides VLAN support and QoS capabilities with packet-level classification and WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) to prioritize traffic by user-defined levels (High/Medium/Low).
What channel sizes and bandwidth options does the PS-5AC-US support?
In Point-to-Point (PtP) mode, the PS-5AC-US supports channel sizes of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 80 MHz. In Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) mode, it supports 10, 20, 30, and 40 MHz channels, allowing warehouse managers to optimize bandwidth allocation based on deployment topology and interference conditions.
What management and monitoring tools are included with the PS-5AC-US?
The PS-5AC-US includes built-in utilities such as antenna alignment tools, discovery utilities, site survey capabilities, ping, traceroute, and speed test functions. It also provides statistical reporting for uptime, packet errors, data rates, wireless distance, and Ethernet link rate, along with remote reset support and software-adjustable power settings via web server, SNMP, and CLI interfaces.
