Ubiquiti lbe-5ac-gen2-us Airmax Litebeam Ac 5ghz Bridge

Product Description

The UBIQUITI lbe-5ac-gen2-us is a second-generation 5GHz airMAX AC wireless bridge designed for high-performance point-to-point and point-to-multipoint outdoor links. Built on Ubiquiti airMAX AC technology, it operates in the 5GHz band and ships with a 24V, 0.3A Gigabit Power over Ethernet adapter, allowing a single cable run for both data and power at the installation site. The unit includes a pole-mounting kit for straightforward outdoor deployment. Network technicians and wireless infrastructure installers are the primary trade audience for this device.

The lbe-5ac-gen2-us is suited for outdoor fixed wireless deployments in residential and light commercial environments. It functions as customer premises equipment in carrier-grade or enterprise wireless distribution networks. The Gen 2 revision introduces a dedicated Wi-Fi management interface, which allows technicians to configure and align the unit over a separate management channel without interrupting the primary 5GHz backhaul link. The included pole-mounting hardware supports rapid installation on standard mast or pipe structures commonly found at rooftop or tower sites.

Key Features

• 5GHz airMAX AC radio platform for high-throughput outdoor wireless bridging
• Dedicated Wi-Fi management interface allows configuration without disrupting the primary backhaul link
• Ships with 24V, 0.3A Gigabit PoE adapter for single-cable power and data delivery
• Includes pole-mounting kit for outdoor mast or pipe installation
• Gigabit Ethernet throughput support via included PoE adapter
• Second-generation design with updated management workflow over the original LiteBeam AC

Compatibility

Designed as an airMAX AC CPE for use in Ubiquiti airMAX 5GHz wireless networks. Specific compatible base station models or system families were not provided in the product data; consult Ubiquiti airMAX documentation to confirm interoperability with access point hardware at the deployment site.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed network technician or low-voltage communications installer. Power down or unplug the PoE adapter before making or breaking Ethernet connections at the unit. Outdoor deployments should follow applicable local electrical and communications codes, including proper weatherproofing of cable entry points and grounding of the mounting structure where required. Use the dedicated Wi-Fi management interface for initial alignment and configuration to avoid disrupting any live backhaul traffic on the primary 5GHz radio.
