Overview
The Ubiquiti USP-CABLE, also designated USP-Cable by Ubiquiti, is a 1.5-meter SmartPower cable designed to deliver redundant power from an associated UniFi SmartPower device to compatible equipment. It is intended for use with Ubiquiti devices equipped with a USP Connect DC input. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Power Connectivity
The USP-CABLE provides the physical power connection between a SmartPower redundant power system and a compatible UniFi device. Ubiquiti specifically documents its use with USP-RPS outputs and supported devices featuring a USP Connect DC input. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Cable Construction
The cable uses a PVC jacket and PVC insulation. Ubiquiti specifies a 1.5 m cable length, 16 AWG conductors for the 18-conductor configuration, and 24 AWG conductors for the 6-conductor configuration. The specified jacket outer dimensions are 9.5 × 23 mm. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Key Features
- 1.5 m SmartPower redundant-power cable
- Designed for compatible UniFi SmartPower connections
- Used with USP Connect DC interfaces
- PVC insulation and cable jacket
- NDAA compliant
Applications
The USP-CABLE is intended for UniFi network deployments that use compatible SmartPower equipment for redundant DC power. A typical application is connecting a USP-RPS output to a supported UniFi device's USP Connect DC input. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
DC Supplies Product Note
This is a dedicated SmartPower connection cable rather than a general-purpose Ethernet or AC power cable. Compatibility should therefore be confirmed against the equipment's USP Connect interface before deployment.
