Built for Eternity: Your Outdoor Network Cable
Forget standard cables that become brittle after a winter. The Ubiquiti UISP Cable CARRIER was specially developed for permanent outdoor use. The robust outer jacket made of polyethylene (PE) is not only weatherproof against rain and snow, but also UV-resistant according to ASTM standards. This means that even intense solar radiation cannot harm it for years. With an extreme operating temperature range of -40 °C to +80 °C, this cable is the reliable foundation for your professional Network Cabling, no matter what climate zone you are in.
Maximum Signal Stability: Double Shielding Against Any Interference
In environments with many potential sources of interference, good shielding is crucial. The UISP Cable CARRIER makes no compromises here. It features double shielding (S/FTP): an aluminum foil encloses the wire pairs, while an additional wire braid protects the entire bundle. This combination effectively repels electromagnetic interference (EMI). The integrated ESD drain wire also safely dissipates electrostatic discharges, which is essential, especially when operating PoE devices such as IP Cameras or Outdoor Access Points.
Made for Professionals: Features That Facilitate Installation
Ubiquiti knows what installers need. The cable comes on a practical 305-meter reel in a 'Reel-in-a-box' that allows for tangle-free pulling. Inside, a physical Anti-Crosstalk Divider not only ensures better signal quality but also a stable cable structure. The integrated Rip Cord allows for quick and safe stripping of the outer jacket without damaging the sensitive conductors. These thoughtful details make on-site termination efficient and professional.
The Perfect Basis for PoE Devices and Demanding Networks
Thanks to the high-quality, solid copper conductors with 24 AWG cross-section, this Ethernet Cable is the ideal choice for Power over Ethernet (PoE). It ensures low heat generation and minimal voltage drop, even over longer distances. Whether you want to power a Ubiquiti UniFi Protect Camera, an airMAX ac Access Point, or other PoE-enabled devices with power and data – this UISP / UniFi Cable delivers the stable and reliable performance you need for a critical Network. It is the first choice for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and demanding home and business Networks.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: Extreme resistance to weather and UV radiation.
- Pro: Excellent protection against EMI and ESD through double S/FTP shielding and drain wire.
- Pro: High signal integrity and stable Gigabit performance thanks to Anti-Crosstalk Divider.
- Pro: Professional quality with solid copper conductors, ideal for all PoE standards.
- Note: Due to the lack of fire protection certification, only limited suitability for indoor installation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the Ubiquiti UISP Cable CARRIER suitable for direct burial?
Although the Cabling is extremely robust and weather-resistant, for maximum lifespan and protection against mechanical damage, it is recommended to lay it in a conduit. However, many installers also successfully use it for direct burial.
What is the purpose of the thin wire (drain wire) inside the Ethernet Cables?
This wire is the so-called 'ESD Drain Wire'. It must be used together with a shielded RJ45 connector and a grounded Network component to safely dissipate static charges to the ground and protect connected devices from damage.
Why is this CAT5e Ethernet Cable better than a standard CAT5e Ethernet Cable for outdoor use?
The 'CARRIER' features double shielding (foil and braid shield) and a physical anti-crosstalk divider. A standard outdoor Cabling often only has single shielding. These additional protective layers make it more resistant to interference and ensure more stable Gigabit performance.
Can I use this Ethernet Cable for PoE Injectors / Power Supplies (Power over Ethernet) devices?
Yes, absolutely. Thanks to the strong 24 AWG solid copper conductors, the Cabling is excellent for all PoE standards. The robust shielding and ESD protection are particularly important for outdoor PoE Injectors / Power Supplies devices, such as IP Cameras or WiFi Access Points.
Do I need special tools to process this Cabling?
You will need standard Network tools such as a crimping tool and a wire stripper. However, it is important to use shielded RJ45 connectors that are designed for the outer diameter of the Ethernet Cable (6.8 mm) and the connection of the drain wire to ensure the protective effect.
What is the difference between the UISP / UniFi Cable CARRIER and the UISP / UniFi Cable PRO?
The 'CARRIER' model is the higher-quality variant. It additionally features a braid shield and the anti-crosstalk divider, while the 'PRO' model is typically only equipped with a foil shield and the ESD wire. The 'CARRIER' thus offers superior shielding and signal integrity for your Network.
