2PK PowerBeam AC Bridge
The Ubiquiti Networks PBE-5AC-500-US is a high-performance airMAX ac bridge sold as a two-pack. It uses a dish reflector design with integrated InnerFeed technology that places the radio inside the feedhorn to eliminate cable losses. The units operate on passive PoE with a supported voltage range of 20-26V DC and a maximum power consumption of 8.5W. Each antenna includes a protective radome for deployment in harsh outdoor environments.
Ideal for long-range CPE links.
This kit suits installers building point-to-point or point-to-multipoint backhauls that need high gain and strong noise immunity in the 5 GHz band. The integrated radio design reduces latency and improves throughput for scalable network segments. Buyers who need omnidirectional coverage, indoor access points, or a single-unit deployment should look at other product lines because the dish form factor and two-pack configuration are optimised for directional bridge applications.
Pole-mount installation with passive PoE injector
The antennas mount on a pole using the included hardware and connect through a single 10/100/1000 Ethernet port powered by the supplied 24V, 0.5A Gigabit PoE adapter. Alignment is critical: the narrow beamwidth demands precise aiming to establish a stable link. Common issues include misalignment causing signal loss, using non-passive PoE equipment that can damage the radio, and water ingress if the radome seals are not seated correctly during assembly.

Questions about this item
What power source must I already have to run the 24V, 0.5A Gigabit PoE adapter?
You need a 20–26V DC supply that can deliver at least 8.5W on the passive PoE pairs 4,5+ and 7,8 return.
Will the single 10/100/1000 Ethernet port link at gigabit speed with my older 10/100 switch?
Yes, the port auto-negotiates down to 10 or 100 Mbps, so it works with legacy switches.
Which LEDs confirm the radio is powered, linked and passing traffic after alignment?
The Power LED shows 24V is present, the LAN LED lights when Ethernet is linked, and the four WLAN LEDs indicate signal strength on the wireless link.
