QUICK START GUIDE

Optical Data Transport for Outdoor PoE Devices Model: F-POE-G2

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Ubiquiti Networks® FiberPoE™ Gen 2. This Quick Start Guide is designed to guide you through installation and also includes warranty terms.

Package Contents

**Installation Requirements

**

Mounting accessories and drain wire are not included.

Pole-Mounting

• Drill with a 4.5 mm Drill Bit
• 7 mm Socket Wrench or Screwdriver

Wall-Mounting

• (2) Screws ( 5 mm Screw Head)
• (1) Drain Wire, Optional ( 16 AWG, 40 cm)

Cables

• Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling with drain wire should be used for all wired Ethernet connections and should be grounded through the AC ground of the PoE. We recommend that you protect your networks from harmful outdoor environments and destructive ESD events with industrial-grade, shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti Networks. For more details, visit www.ubnt.com/toughcable

Surge Protection

• Surge protection should be used for all outdoor installations. We recommend that you use two Ethernet Surge Protectors, model ETH-SP, one near the FiberPoE and the other at the entry point to the building. The ETH-SP will absorb power surges and safely discharge them into the ground.

TERMS OF USE: Shielded Ethernet cable and earth grounding must be used as conditions of product warranty. TOUGHCable™ is designed for outdoor installations. It is the professional installer’s responsibility to follow local country regulations, including operation within legal frequency channels, output power, and Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements.

Application Examples

The following are typical use cases for the FiberPoE.

Data Options
Fiber Bridge Two FiberPoE devices, one at the base and one at the top of the tower, are used to provide a fiber optic data link for protection from EMI events that can cause equipment damage or signal integrity issues.
Ethernet-to-Fiber Converter One FiberPoE at the top of the tower is used to convert Ethernet to fiber at the radio.

Power Options

On the tower, the FiberPoE can provide PoE power to the radio. Options for providing power to the FiberPoE include:
DC Power Connect a DC power cable to the FiberPoE DC terminal block.
PoE Power Connect a PoE adapter (power only) to the FiberPoE RJ45 port.

Hardware Overview

LED

Ports

SFP This hot-swappable SFP port supports a 1 Gbps link. The adjacent fiber interface must use autonegotiation; manually setting it to 1000 Mbps/1 Gbps will not allow the link to come up.
VDC Labeled (+) (­), the VDC Terminal Block provides input or output power (see the Power Configuration section for details).
DC In This RJ45 port is only used to supply DC input power.
PoE This RJ45 port provides 1 Gbps data and Power over Ethernet (PoE) passthrough, and can also be used to supply input power (see the Power Configuration section for details).
Ground Bonding Point The FiberPoE must be grounded in one of the following ways:

• Use the Self-Tapping Screw to ground the FiberPoE directly to a grounded metal pole or structure.
• Use the M5 Machine Screw and Nut to attach a drain wire (not included) that is connected to a remote grounding block or structure.

Power Configuration

There are three ways to configure the input and output power:

Input Power Terminal Block

Input Power on PoE Port

Input Power on DC In Port

PoE port, 24VDC, 2-pair
DC In port, 4-pair, 24VDC| Terminal Block, 24VDC
PoE port, 24VDC, 4-pair
DC In port, 4-pair, 50VDC| Terminal Block, 50VDC
PoE port, 50VDC, 4-pair

Note: You can use either a single power output (Terminal Block or PoE port) or both power outputs at the same time.
Note: The FiberPoE relies on the external DC power source for current- limiting protection.
Note: Input/output polarity for 2-pair PoE is pins 4, 5 (+); 7, 8 (-). Input/Output polarity for 4-pair PoE is pins 1, 2, 4, 5 (+); 3, 6, 7, 8 (-).

Cable Management
Feed cables through the Port Cover as indicated below. Use nippers to remove the tab over a feed hole if necessary.
Connect a Drain Wire (Optional)
If a drain wire is used to ground the FiberPoE, attach it to the Ground Bonding Point with the M5 Machine Screw and Nut.
At the installation site, secure the other end of the drain wire to a grounded mast, pole, tower, or grounding bar.
Note: The drain wire should be as short as possible and no longer than one meter in length.

Hardware Installation

Install the FiberPoE either on a pole or a wall. Follow the appropriate steps for your installation:

Pole-Mounting

1. Feed the included Metal Straps through the slots located on the back of the FiberPoE.
   

2. Wrap the Metal Straps around the pole. Use a 7 mm socket wrench or screwdriver to turn the screws clockwise and securely fasten the straps to the pole.
   

3. Remove the Port Cover by pressing on its center and sliding it down.
   Note: If you are using a drain wire for grounding, proceed to the Connecting Input Power section.

4. Remove the M5 Machine Screw and Nut from the Ground Bonding Point, and drill a 4.5 mm pilot hole into the pole.
   

5. Insert the Self-Tapping Screw (included) into the pilot hole. Securely fasten the screw to ensure the Ground Bonding Point is bonded to the pole.
   

Wall-Mounting

1. Secure two screws (not included) to the wall, spaced 38 mm apart. Leave a gap of 3 mm from each screw head to the wall.

2. With the drain wire already attached, guide the screw heads into the keyhole slots on the back of the FiberPoE. Press down on the FiberPoE to secure it.
   

Connecting Input Power

WARNING: Do not connect more than one DC source to the FiberPoE at one time.
Follow the instructions for the type of input power you will be using:

Power via Terminal Block
Note: When the Terminal Block provides input power, the PoE port provides 2-pair PoE output if the input voltage is 24V, or 4-pair PoE output if the input voltage is 50V.
Note: 2-pair PoE output is pins 4, 5 (+); 7, 8 (-). 4-pair PoE output is pins 1, 2, 4, 5 (+); 3, 6, 7, 8 (-).

1. Connect a DC power cable to the Terminal Block.
   Note: The Terminal Block supports polarity autocorrection; however, if the DC power cable is connected as marked, the PoE polarity will be 1, 2, 4, 5 (+); 3, 6, 7, 8 (-).

2. (Optional) Create a strain relief for the cable by feeding a cable tie (not included) through the cable relief slot on the reel.
   

3. Connect the other end of the cable to a DC power supply.

4. Connect the DC power supply to its power source.

Power via DC In Port

1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the DC In port.
   

2. (Optional) Create a strain relief for the cable by feeding a cable tie (not included) through the cable relief slot on the reel.
   

3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a PoE power source.
   Note: The RJ45 DC In port does not support data. Its only use is to provide power.

Power via PoE Port

1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the PoE port.
   

2. (Optional) Create a strain relief for the cable by feeding a cable tie (not included) through the cable relief slot on the reel.
   

3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a PoE power and data source.

Connecting Fiber

Note: The fiber interface at the other end of the link must use autonegotiation mode; manually setting it to 1000 Mbps/1 Gbps will not allow the link to come up.

1. Plug a fiber SFP module into the SFP port.
   

2. Remove the jacket from the fiber optic cable and connect a strand of fiber optic cable to the SFP module.
   

3. Spool the fiber optic strands around the strain relief reel in a counterclockwise direction.
   

4. Continue until the jacketed cable spools onto the reel for at least 1½ turns. Snap the cable into the clip to secure it.
   

5. Connect the other end of the fiber optic cable to another fiber device.

Connecting Ethernet

Note: Skip this section if you connected PoE input power in the Power via PoE Port section (since you have already established an Ethernet data connection).

1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the PoE port.
   

2. (Optional) Create a strain relief for the cable by feeding a cable tie (not included) through the cable relief slot on the reel.
   

3. Connect the other end of the cable to an Ethernet device.
   Note: The Ethernet link will not come up until the fiber link has been established.
   WARNING: If the PoE port is providing PoE passthrough power, ensure that the connected device supports PoE and the supplied voltage.
