⇒Technical Datasheet

PERFORMANCE

The device delivers maximum throughput rates of 4.8 Gbps on 5 GHz (160 MHz bandwidth) and 573.5 Mbps on 2.4 GHz bands. With advanced MU-MIMO and OFDMA capabilities, it efficiently manages multiple simultaneous connections, supporting large numbers of clients with low latency.

POWER CONSUMPTION

The Ubiquiti U6-Mesh is powered by Power over Ethernet (PoE), drawing a maximum of 11.4W, and requires a power source within its supported 44–57V DC voltage range. This eliminates the need for a separate power cable, simplifying installation by delivering both data and power over a single Ethernet cable. The access point can be powered by an 802.3af PoE switch or the included 48V, 0.32A PoE adapter.

RELIABILITY

The UniFi U6 Mesh operates reliably across a wide temperature range (-30 to 60 °C) and supports high humidity environments (5 to 95% non-condensing). Its IPX5 weatherproof rating allows it to withstand outdoor conditions when mounted properly, ensuring durability and stable wireless coverage in varied settings.

COVERAGE

The access point provides wireless coverage up to 140 square meters, ideal for residential, business, or campus outdoor and indoor wireless mesh networks.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

The U6 Mesh consumes a maximum of approximately 11.4 watts powered through PoE with a supported voltage range of 44 to 57V DC. This low power consumption supports energy-efficient deployments without compromising performance.

APPLICATION AREAS

It has wide application areas such as educational campuses, healthcare facilities, manufacturing plants, retail stores, large residential properties, outdoor venues, city parks, hotels, offices, complex indoor layouts, multi-building sites, high user density areas, environments with challenging wireless coverage needs, places requiring continuous and seamless WiFi coverage with fault tolerance, network expansions without extensive cabling, and enterprises needing centralized monitoring.

CONCLUSION

The UniFi U6 Mesh combines the latest WiFi 6 technology with a rugged, weatherproof design to deliver fast, reliable indoor and outdoor wireless coverage. Its mesh capabilities, high client support, and efficient power usage make it ideal for dense networks requiring scalable WiFi performance with flexible deployment options. Managed seamlessly through UniFi Network software, it offers a high-quality solution for modern wireless infrastructure needs.
