Ubiquiti NBE-5AC-GEN2-US Nanobeam 5AC Gen2 Wireless Cpe

Product Description

The UBIQUITI NBE-5AC-GEN2-US is a second-generation NanoBeam 5AC compact wireless CPE (customer premises equipment) designed for outdoor point-to-point and point-to-multipoint links operating in the 5 GHz band. The unit integrates the antenna and radio into a single housing, reducing wind load and simplifying pole or wall mounting. It is intended for network installers and low-voltage technicians deploying fixed wireless infrastructure in residential, commercial, or light industrial environments where wired backhaul is not practical. The Gen2 revision maintains the NanoBeam form factor while delivering improved radio performance over its predecessor.

The NBE-5AC-GEN2-US is suited for outdoor wireless bridge deployments, last-mile connectivity, and network extension scenarios. The unit ships as a single device configured for the United States market, making it appropriate for licensed and unlicensed 5 GHz deployments compliant with FCC regulations. Network technicians and low-voltage contractors typically deploy this device for building-to-building links, security camera backhaul, and rural broadband distribution where a directional 5 GHz link is required.

Key Features

• Integrated antenna and radio in a compact, low-profile outdoor housing
• 5 GHz band operation suited for point-to-point wireless bridge applications
• Second-generation design with improved radio performance over original NanoBeam 5AC
• Single-unit packaging (sold individually, UOM: EA)

Compatibility

Designed for use within the Ubiquiti airMAX platform as an outdoor 5 GHz CPE. No specific compatible model numbers or replaced part numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified low-voltage network technicians familiar with outdoor wireless infrastructure. Power the unit via PoE (Power over Ethernet) using a compatible PoE injector or switch — disconnect PoE power before wiring or repositioning the unit. Mount to a pole or solid surface using the included or compatible mounting hardware, ensuring the radome is oriented per the manufacturer alignment instructions for optimal link performance. Comply with all applicable local low-voltage and communications wiring codes during cable routing and weatherproofing.
