airFiber-5X HD

The AF‑5XHD features Ubiquiti's newest LTU radio technology, offering greater channel bandwidths (up to 100 MHz) and higher adaptive modulation (up to 1024QAM). This results in total throughput up to 1Gbps and a range of up to 50 km (in Australia).

The AF-5XHD also includes a special IP67 upgrade kit for enhanced protection from dust and water.

Deployment Flexibility

The compact form factor allows the airFiber X to be used with airFiber Slant 45 antennas, or instantly upgrade a 5 GHz Rocket™ link that uses a RocketDish™ RD‑5G30/RD‑5G34 antenna (using Slant 45 Conversion Kit for Rocket Dish™ - AF-5G-OMT-S45).

Key Features

• Configurable GPS Synchronization - The AF-5XHD offers configurable support for 2, 2.5, 4, and 5 ms frames. Timing is compatible with all other synchronous systems.
• Dual Redundant Gigabit Ethernet Ports with PoE - The AF-5XHD has two Gigabit Ethernet ports that can be used to provide redundant PoE power.
• Bluetooth Wireless Configuration - Use the built-in Bluetooth interface for wireless configuration.
• Wide Voltage Range, Enhanced Surge Protection - The AF-5XHD has an operating voltage range of 24‑48VDC and provides enhanced surge protection.

Recommended Surge Protector

GbE POE Surge Protector

---

This in-line surge protector is suitable for use with the Ubiquiti airFiber.

From the airFiber User Guide:

Note: For added protection, we recommend installing two GigE PoE surge protectors. Install the first surge protector within one meter of the airFiber DATA port, and install the second surge protector at the ingress point of the location housing the wired network equipment.

This surge protector is used in-line on a Cat5/Cat5e connection, and is used to help protect:

• ethernet interface damage in the event of nearby lightning storms, and
• building damage in the event of a direct lightning strike where a current surge flows down the ethernet cable.
