Ubiquiti ETH-SP-US Surge Protector
The Ubiquiti ETH-SP-US is an Ethernet surge protector designed for outdoor Power-over-Ethernet and non-PoE devices. It supports network speeds up to 1 Gbps and adds a grounded layer of electrostatic discharge protection. Installation is plug-and-play using two RJ45 female connectors.
Installation Requirements
Verify that a reliable grounding point is available at the mounting location for the protector's ground wire. Confirm the device uses standard RJ45 cabling compatible with 10/100/1000 Ethernet links. The unit is rated for a DC spark-over voltage of 90 V and a peak impulse current of 700 V.
Upgrade From Basic ESD Protection
This protector replaces reliance on built-in device ESD circuits alone by adding an external ground path for surges. The jump is worth it for outdoor Ubiquiti airMAX deployments where lightning or static discharge risk is high. It maintains full Gigabit throughput with a maximum line capacitance of 1.0 pF.

Questions about this item
Does the ETH-SP-US come with cables or a ground wire, or do I need to buy them separately?
The unit has two RJ45 female connectors for your existing Ethernet cables; a ground wire is not included and must be sourced separately.
Is this protector suitable for a 1 Gbps PoE link, or only for slower speeds?
It supports 10/100/1000 Mbps data rates and passes PoE power, so it works with gigabit PoE and non-PoE devices alike.
What does the 90 V spark-over voltage mean for my outdoor access point during a surge?
At 90 V the protector begins diverting excess voltage to ground, clamping transients before they reach the connected PoE device.
