Ubiquiti AF60-XR RB – airFiber 60 XR 60GHz Long-Range PtP Bridge
Overview
The Ubiquiti AF60-XR RB is the rebox variant of the airFiber 60 Xtreme-Range, a multi-gigabit 60 GHz point-to-point wireless bridge designed for long-distance network links. The system combines a 60 GHz primary radio with a 5 GHz backup radio and supports a maximum total throughput of 5.4 Gbps.
The AF60-XR is designed for point-to-point operation and supports links of 15+ km under appropriate deployment conditions. Network connectivity includes one Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port and one 1/10G SFP+ port, providing copper and fiber-capable network interfaces at the radio.
Technical Information
The primary radio operates across 57–71 GHz, subject to regional regulatory requirements, with channel bandwidths of 2160, 1080, and 540 MHz. The 60 GHz radio uses 16QAM, BPSK, and QPSK modulation with vertically linear polarization.
A 5 GHz backup radio provides additional link redundancy and operates across region-dependent U-NII frequency ranges. It supports 20, 40, and 80 MHz channel bandwidths, modulation up to 256QAM, and a 26 dBi antenna gain.
The system uses passive PoE and has a maximum power consumption of 24W. A 48V DC, 0.65A Gigabit PoE adapter is specified with the AF60-XR platform.
Compatibility
AF60-XR RB is intended for Ubiquiti UISP airFiber point-to-point deployments. Both ends of a point-to-point link should use compatible AF60-XR equipment and firmware. The device operates in PtP mode and is managed through UISP.
The integrated 1/10G SFP+ interface supports network architectures requiring a higher-speed wired connection to the wireless bridge. Regulatory operating frequencies and available channels vary by deployment region.
