The Ubiquiti UISP Cable Carrier (Model: UISP-Cable-Carrier / formerly TOUGHCable Carrier) is an outdoor Category 5e shielded cable purpose-built to withstand severe weather, electromagnetic noise, and physical strain in outdoor WISP, tower, and campus networks. Engineered for optimal performance with high-capacity Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices, it ensures uninterrupted high-speed data delivery across long cable runs.
Constructed with 24 AWG solid bare copper conductors, the cable includes an internal crosstalk divider that separates wire pairs to minimize internal alien crosstalk. Maximum shielding against external interference and high-frequency ESD surges is achieved through a multi-layered design incorporating aluminum foil shielding, a braid shield layer, and an integrated ESD drain wire. Encased in an insulated, PE-weatherproof jacket, the UISP Cable Carrier effectively prevents network port destruction on connected radios and switches when paired with Ubiquiti TOUGHCrimp RJ45 connectors.
Comprehensive Key Features:
Industrial-Grade ESD & Surge Protection: Dual shielding (foil + braid) with an integrated drain wire protects equipment against ESD damage and outdoor electrical spikes.
Category 5e Multi-Gigabit Support: Engineered to reliably transport Gigabit Ethernet data and high-wattage PoE power over 100-meter drops.
Anti-Crosstalk Internal Divider: Physical pair separator reduces internal pair-to-pair crosstalk for improved signal integrity.
Heavy-Duty Weatherproof Construction: Specialized UV-stabilized polyethylene jacket withstands rain, extreme temperatures, and direct solar exposure.
24 AWG Solid Bare Copper Conductor: High-conductivity solid copper conductors lower resistance and heat generation during high-power PoE pass-through.
1000 ft Spool Packaging: Delivered on a smooth-payoff 304.8 m reel box for efficient field deployment.
