Ubiquiti UISP-CARRIER | UISP Cable Carrier

Carrier-class shielded outdoor Cat5e cable on a full-length drum, suited to UISP and UniFi deployments where runs are exposed to the elements or lightning risk is a real concern.

Why this one

• The integrated ESD drain wire gives induced surge currents somewhere to go before they reach your equipment, which matters on long outdoor runs between buildings or up towers.
• Shielded construction reduces interference pickup on runs near electrical conduit, generators or other noise sources that would affect unshielded cable.
• Sold on a full-reel drum, so it suits a site pull rather than a patch run — you're not paying a premium for short lengths cut from stock.
• It replaces the TC-CARRIER SKU directly, so it fits existing installations without any change to how the cable is specified or terminated.

Good fit if you're cabling outdoor point-to-point or backhaul links on UISP gear, running cable between structures, or working on any site where lightning protection and shielding are part of the installation brief.

Worth considering something else if the run is entirely indoors or within a single building, where shielded carrier-class cable is overkill and unshielded Cat6 indoor cable (UC-C6-CMR) is the more appropriate choice.

What you'll also need

Shielded RJ45 field-termination connectors rated for outdoor use, an appropriate ESD grounding point at each end of the run, and outdoor-rated conduit or cable clips if the cable will be exposed rather than buried or ducted.
