Protect your networks from the most 
brutal environments with Ubiquiti 
Networks’ industrial-grade, shielded 
Ethernet cable, TOUGHCable.
Increase Performance 
Dramatically improve your 
Ethernet link states, speeds, and 
overall performance with Ubiquiti 
TOUGHCables.
Extreme Weatherproof 
Designed for outdoor use, 
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 increase 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.
TOUGHCable PRO
 is a Category 5e, 
outdoor, carrier-class shielded cable 
with an integrated ESD drain wire.
TOUGHCable CARRIER
 is a 
Category5e, outdoor, carrier-class 
shielded cable that features 
an integrated ESD drain wire, 
anti-crosstalk divider, and secondary 
shielding. It is rated to provide optimal 
performance on Gigabit Ethernet 
networks.
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 
(304.8m)
TOUGHCable Connectors 
Speci cally designed for use with Ubiquiti TOUGHCables, TOUGHCable 
Connectors protect against ESD attacks and Ethernet hardware damage, while 
allowing rapid  eld deployment without soldering. The standard TOUGHCable 
Connectors are available in 100-pc. bags, while the TC-GND versions include 
ground wires and are available in 20-pc. bags.
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.
