Ubiquiti UISP Shielded Connector (UISP-Connector-SHD)

The Ubiquiti UISP Shielded Connector (UISP-Connector-SHD) is a robust and professional-grade accessory engineered to provide secure and reliable Ethernet terminations for outdoor UISP deployments. Specifically designed for compatibility with UISP outdoor enclosures and cable systems, this shielded connector plays a pivotal role in enhancing the durability, performance, and weather resistance of Ethernet cabling used in broadband networks, WISP infrastructures, and other challenging environments. It ensures maximum protection against environmental interference, signal degradation, and electrostatic discharge (ESD), all while maintaining the integrity of high-speed data transmission over long distances.

At its core, the UISP-Connector-SHD is crafted for use with shielded twisted pair (STP) cabling, particularly Ubiquiti’s UISP Cable, which is built for outdoor installations. The shielded construction of this connector is essential in outdoor and electrically noisy environments, where unprotected cabling is susceptible to signal loss and performance issues. The shielding helps maintain signal fidelity and prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI), which can arise from nearby power lines, antennas, or industrial equipment. As a result, the connector ensures optimal data transfer speeds and network reliability, even in electrically harsh or exposed locations.

Ease of use is another highlight of the UISP-Connector-SHD. It is designed with installers in mind, offering a straightforward assembly process that eliminates the complexities typically associated with shielded Ethernet terminations. The connector supports toolless crimping using Ubiquiti’s UISP Cable Tool, enabling faster, cleaner, and more reliable installations. This allows technicians to maintain consistent build quality and performance across large-scale projects without extensive training or specialized tools.

The mechanical design of the UISP-Connector-SHD includes a weather-resistant housing that supports IPX-rated protection when used with compatible UISP enclosures and cable systems. This ensures the connector remains sealed from dust, moisture, and other environmental hazards that can compromise long-term performance. Combined with its strong strain relief and locking mechanism, it delivers dependable physical and signal connection in field deployments, especially on towers, rooftops, and outdoor enclosures.

In alignment with Ubiquiti’s broader UISP ecosystem, the UISP-Connector-SHD helps standardize installation practices, reduce signal failures, and improve overall deployment efficiency. It is ideal for use with UISP routers, switches, and wireless radios, delivering the connectivity performance needed for high-throughput, low-latency applications. Whether in ISP backhaul links, surveillance systems, or outdoor access points, this connector ensures dependable, shielded Ethernet connectivity that meets the demands of modern networking environments.

In summary, the Ubiquiti UISP Shielded Connector (UISP-Connector-SHD) is a vital accessory for outdoor Ethernet deployments, delivering reliable, interference-resistant, and weather-sealed terminations. It supports faster, simpler, and higher-quality installations, ensuring the integrity of network connections in the most demanding environments.
