Advanced 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Router

Overview:

The EdgeRouter X delivers cost-effective routing performance in an ultra-compact form factor.

Ubiquiti Networks introduces the EdgeRouter X, part of the EdgeMAX platform. The EdgeRouter X combines carrier-class reliability with excellent price-to-performance value in an ultra-compact form factor.

Advanced Routing Technology for the Masses

Introducing the EdgeRouter from Ubiquiti Networks, part of the EdgeMAX platform. EdgeRouters combine carrier-class reliability with enterprise-level features in a compact and affordable unit. Available in a rackmountable form factor with eight functional ports, the EdgeRouter Pro and 8-Port EdgeRouter models are capable of routing up to 2 million+ packets per second. Powered by a proprietary and intuitive graphical interface, EdgeOS, EdgeRouters can easily be configured for routing, security, and management features required to efficiently run your network. For advanced network professionals, an integrated CLI is available for quick and direct access using familiar commands.

• (5) Gigabit RJ45 ports
• Passive PoE passthrough option*
• Power via 24V passive PoE or power adapter
• Ports configurable for line-rate, Layer-2 switching
• 130 kpps for 64-byte packets
• 1 Gbps for 1518-byte packets

PoE Versatility

Two models of the EdgeRouter X are available. The standard model, the ER-X, can be powered by an external power adapter or 24V passive PoE input. A passive PoE passthrough option1 is available to support a single airMAX device.

The SFP model, the ER-X-SFP, is powered by an external power adapter. The five Gigabit RJ45 ports support 24V passive PoE output for airMAX or UniFi devices, while its SFP port provides fiber connectivity to support backhaul applications.

Configuration Methods

Powered by a proprietary and intuitive graphical interface, EdgeOS, every EdgeRouter X can easily be configured for the routing, security, and management features required to efficiently run your network. For advanced network professionals, an integrated CLI is available for quick and direct access using familiar commands.

* Requires 24V passive PoE or a 12W minimum power adapter (not included).

Features:

Versatile PoE Capability

Powered by 24V passive PoE or a power adapter, the EdgeRouter X features a passive PoE passthrough option* to power an airMAX device.

EdgeOS - Advanced UI

The intuitive, graphical user interface is easy to learn and makes routing features simple to configure and monitor. It includes an integrated Command-Line Interface (CLI) for convenient access to advanced functions.

* Requires 24V passive PoE or a 12W minimum power adapter (not included).

Deployment:

Example of a CPE Deployment for the ER-X
Powered by 24V passive PoE, the ER-X provides data with 24V passive PoE to the NanoBeam and data to the UniFi Video Camera PRO, UniFi AP AC, and computer.

Example of a Backhaul Deployment for the ER-X-SFP
Powered by the included 24V power adapter, the ER-X-SFP has a fiber connection to the Internet and provides data with 24V passive PoE to the five Rocket ac radios.

Example of a Service Provider Deployment for the ER-X
Multiple ER-X devices connect the Internet and three OSPF areas of the service provider's network.

Miscellaneous:

Protect your networks from the most brutal environments with Ubiquiti's industrialgrade shielded ethernet cable, TOUGHCable.

• Increase Performance - Dramatically improve your ethernet link states, speeds, and overall performance with Ubiquiti TOUGHCables.
• Extreme Weatherproof - TOUGHCables have been built to perform even in the harshest weather and environments.
• ESD Damage Protection - Protect your networks from devastating electrostatic discharge (ESD) attacks.
• Extended Cable Support - TOUGHCables have been developed to have increased power handling performance for extended cable run lengths.

Bulletproof your networks

TOUGHCable is currently available in two versions: PRO Shielding Protection and CARRIER Shielding Protection.

Additional Information:

• 24 AWG copper conductor pairs
• 26 AWG integrated ESD drain wire to prevent ESD attacks and damage
• PE outdoor-rated, weatherproof jacket
• Multi-layered shielding
• Available in lengths of 1000 ft (304.8 m)

TOUGHCable Connectors

Specifically designed for use with Ubiquiti TOUGHCable, TOUGHCable Connectors protect against ESD attacks and Ethernet hardware damage, while allowing rapid field deployment without soldering. The standard TOUGHCable Connectors are available in a box of 100, while the TC-GND versions include ground wires and are available in a box of 20.

ESD attacks are the leading cause for device failures. The diagram below illustrates the areas vulnerable to ESD attacks in a network.	By using a grounded Ubiquiti Power over Ethernet (PoE) Adapter along with Ubiquiti TOUGHCable and TOUGHCable Connectors, you can effectively protect against ESD attacks.
