SKU CH-WNBH-RX4CZ

5 GHz backhaul radio delivering up to 1 Gbps throughput over 100 km with LTU technology, IP67 kit and flexible channel bandwidths

  • Up to 1 Gbps real throughput with LTU technology
  • Up to 100 km range in the 5 GHz band
  • Flexible channel bandwidths from 10 to 100 MHz
  • IP67 upgrade kit for dust and water protection
  • GPS synchronisation for precise timing alignment

5 GHz LTU Backhaul Radio

The Ubiquiti Networks AF-5XHD is a carrier-grade point-to-point radio operating in the 5 GHz band from 4.8 to 6.2 GHz. It uses proprietary LTU technology to deliver up to 1 Gbps real throughput over distances up to 100 km. An IP67 upgrade kit is included for dust and water protection. It requires a compatible Ubiquiti antenna to form a complete link.

Suited for long-haul wireless links

This radio suits ISPs and network builders who need high-capacity backhaul across extended distances with flexible channel widths from 10 to 100 MHz. It is not for buyers who need an integrated antenna, a standalone access point for client distribution, or a short-range indoor wireless solution.

Single Gigabit Ethernet interface

The unit provides one 10/100/1000 Mbps data port and a separate 10/100/1000 Mbps management port. Two waterproof RP-SMA connectors and a waterproof GPS port handle RF and timing. AES-256 encryption and GPS synchronization secure and coordinate the link.

Questions about this item

What Ubiquiti antenna do I need to pair with the AF-5XHD for a complete 5 GHz PtP link?

The AF-5XHD is compatible with existing Ubiquiti airFiber X antennas and certain RocketDish antennas for the 5 GHz band, forming a complete Point-to-Point solution when paired.

Will the Gigabit Ethernet ports on the AF-5XHD connect to my older 100 Mbps network switch?

Yes, the 10/100/1000 Mbps data and management ports auto-negotiate, so they will link at 100 Mbps with older switches while still providing connectivity.

How can I verify the AF-5XHD is performing as intended after installation?

Use the persistent spectrum analysis with the dedicated receiver, GPS synchronisation status, and real-time throughput readings up to 1 Gbps in the airOS F interface to confirm operation.
