Powering the UniFi AP

The UAP-AC-SHD features auto-sensing 802.3at PoE+ support and can be powered by any of the following:

• Ubiquiti UniFi Switch with 802.3at PoE+
• 802.3at PoE+ compliant switch
• Ubiquiti Gigabit PoE Adapter (48V, 0.5A)

The single-pack of the UAP-AC-SHD includes one Gigabit PoE adapter. For multi-pack units, PoE adapters or a UniFi Switch with 802.3at PoE+ may be purchased separately.

Connecting to a PoE+ Switch

Connect the Ethernet cable from the UniFi AP directly to a PoE+ port on the switch.

	IMPORTANT: The UAP-AC-SHD cannot be powered by the US-8 or US-8-60W; however, it can be powered by other UniFi PoE Switches that provide 802.3at PoE+ power.
