About the Rocket Prism 5AC Gen2
The Ubiquiti Rocket Prism 5AC Gen2 delivers backhaul connectivity via a single 1x 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet port, powered entirely by Passive 24V Gigabit PoE (24V, 0.5A) with a maximum power consumption of just 9W. This ultra-efficient wired interface makes the RP-5AC-GEN2-US an ideal choice for network engineers deploying long-distance point-to-point links where low power draw and integrated power delivery are essential constraints.
Built on Ubiquiti's proven airMAX ac Rocket Prism platform, this 5 GHz access point operates across the 5100–5850 MHz frequency band using IEEE 802.11ac standard with 4x4 MIMO and 256-QAM modulation. Support for 20, 40, and 80 MHz channel widths provides flexible spectrum utilization in diverse deployment scenarios. The proprietary airMAX ac twist-lock antenna interface requires no external pigtails, streamlining installation while the IP55-rated enclosure withstands harsh environmental conditions across the full -40°C to 70°C operating temperature range and 5–95% non-condensing humidity. Pole-mount hardware is included, and the compact 180.5 x 85.5 x 51.5 mm form factor (weighing 0.38 kg) fits seamlessly into outdoor wireless networks. Management is delivered through airOS or the UISP unified network management platform, enabling centralized monitoring and provisioning across your Ubiquiti infrastructure.
