Ubiquiti airMAX PowerBeam 5AC Gen 2 PBE-5AC-GEN2-5-US - 5-Pack of 5 GHz Bridge Radios, 25 dBi, Up to 450+ Mbps, Gigabit PoE - New

This is the five-unit pack of the Ubiquiti PowerBeam 5AC Gen 2 (PBE-5AC-GEN2-5-US), a 5 GHz airMAX® ac bridge radio and CPE built for long-range point-to-point (PtP) links, point-to-multipoint (PtMP) subscriber connections, WISP rollouts, and multi-site building-to-building networking. Five radios cover two complete PtP links plus a cold spare, or five subscriber CPEs hanging off an existing airMAX sector. Each unit carries a 25 dBi integrated dish reflector that concentrates RF energy into a tight beamwidth for improved noise immunity, delivering up to 450+ Mbps real TCP/IP throughput over airMAX ac TDMA with 256QAM modulation. Ubiquiti’s InnerFeed® technology integrates the radio directly into the antenna feedhorn to eliminate cable losses, while a dedicated Wi-Fi management radio lets installers reach the airOS® 8 interface from a mobile device during alignment. Every unit is powered by a single Gigabit PoE run, and a 24V, 0.5A adapter is included with each radio.

Ubiquiti PBE-5AC-GEN2-5-US - Key Features & Benefits

• Five Radios in One Pack — Deploy Two Links Plus a Spare: Ships as 5 x PBE-5AC-GEN2-US units, each with its own PoE adapter and pole-mount kit. Enough hardware for two full point-to-point bridges with a spare on the shelf, or five PtMP subscriber radios on an existing sector — the standard buy for WISP installs and multi-building campuses.
• Up to 450+ Mbps airMAX ac Throughput: Proprietary airMAX ac TDMA scheduling with 256QAM modulation supports up to 450+ Mbps real TCP/IP throughput per link — roughly triple standard airMAX — with intelligent QoS that prioritizes voice and video traffic.
• 25 dBi Dish for Improved Noise Immunity: The 400 mm integrated dish reflector directs RF energy in a tighter beamwidth, spatially filtering out surrounding noise — critical in areas crowded with competing 5 GHz signals. Selectable channel widths run 10/20/30/40/50/60/80 MHz in PtP mode and 10/20/30/40 MHz in PtMP mode.
• Dedicated Wi-Fi Management Radio: A separate 2.4 GHz radio provides direct wireless access to the airOS 8 configuration interface from a phone or tablet, so alignment and setup can be completed at the mast without a laptop or a second Ethernet run — a real time saver across a five-unit rollout.
• InnerFeed Technology — No Feed Cable Losses: The radio is integrated into the feedhorn of the antenna, removing the interconnect cable entirely and the signal loss that comes with it. Snap-and-lock assembly with ±20° mechanical tilt means no tools beyond a single wrench for pole mounting.
• Outdoor-Hardened, Single-Cable Install: Each radio is powered over one Gigabit Ethernet run via passive 24V PoE at just 8.5W. Rated for −40°F to 158°F, 124 mph wind survivability, and ±24 kV ESD/EMP protection; NDAA Compliant.

Ubiquiti PBE-5AC-GEN2-5-US - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• How many wireless links can I build with five units?
  A point-to-point link uses two radios, one set as Access Point and one as Station. Five units therefore cover two complete PtP bridges plus one spare. Used as PtMP clients (CPEs), all five can connect back to a single existing airMAX ac sector or base station.
• Are these five separate retail units or one bulk-packed kit?
  The PBE-5AC-GEN2-5-US is Ubiquiti’s factory five-pack of the standard PBE-5AC-GEN2-US. Each radio is a complete unit with its own 24V, 0.5A PoE adapter and pole-mount hardware — nothing is shared between units and no additional accessories are required.
• How is each unit powered, and can I use an 802.3af/at switch?
  Each radio uses passive 24V PoE (pairs 4, 5+; 7, 8 return) and draws a maximum of 8.5W. They are not powered by standard 802.3af/at switch ports — use the included adapters or a 24V passive PoE source within the 20 to 27V DC range.
• What is the difference between this and the PBE-5AC-ISO-Gen2?
  Both share the same 25 dBi airMAX ac platform, 450+ Mbps throughput, and dedicated management radio. The ISO version adds an integrated RF isolator, a metal-plated rear housing, and a protective radome for co-location sites. This listing is the standard PowerBeam 5AC Gen 2 in a five-pack.
