Long-range 5 GHz customer-premises equipment

The Ubiquiti Networks LBE-M5-23-US is a lightweight airMAX CPE built for point-to-point wireless links. Its 23 dBi directional antenna delivers extended range and improved noise immunity on the 5 GHz band. Installers and WISPs can deploy it for last-mile broadband or building-to-building backhaul without heavy equipment.

Tool-free three-axis alignment and pole mount

The dish assembles in seconds with no tools; only a single wrench is needed for the supplied pole-mount bracket. A single 10/100 Ethernet port carries data and passive PoE using pairs 4,5+ and 7,8 return. The 24 V 0.2 A PoE adapter is included, and maximum draw is 4 W.

Operates from -40 °C to 70 °C in 5–95 % humidity

Rated for outdoor extremes, the unit withstands -40 to 70 degrees Celsius ( -40 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit ) and 5 to 95 percent non-condensing humidity. At 1.65 lbs and 14.25 x 10.51 x 7.24 inches it fits compact shipping cartons. Not suited for buyers needing gigabit Ethernet throughput or multi-stream MIMO capacity.

Questions about this item

What Ethernet speed does the 10/100 port cap the link at in practice?

The single 10/100 Ethernet port limits wired throughput to 100 Mbps, matching the device's rated 100+ Mbps airMAX capacity.

What physical mounting does the 14.25 x 10.51 x 7.24 inch, 1.65 lb antenna require?

It includes a pole-mount bracket that clamps to a mast; only a single wrench is needed to secure the bracket to the pole.

How is the unit powered and what wiring step is often missed?

A 24 V 0.2 A passive PoE injector is included; the Ethernet cable must carry power on pairs 4,5+ and return on 7,8, so all eight conductors must be terminated.
