Ubiquiti UACC-CABLE-DOORLOCKRELAY-1P Door Lock Relay Cable
Overview
The UACC-CABLE-DOORLOCKRELAY-1P is a single-port relay cable designed to integrate electric strike and magnetic door locks directly into Ubiquiti Access Hub control infrastructure. This accessory eliminates the need for external relay modules in straightforward door lock deployments, reducing wiring complexity and cost when adding relay-controlled access points to an access control system. If your deployment requires multiple independent door locks or advanced relay logic beyond simple on/off control, evaluate larger relay breakout modules instead.
Key Features
- Single-Port Relay Output: One relay connection per cable means each UACC-CABLE-DOORLOCKRELAY-1P controls one electric strike or magnetic lock—straightforward for single-door installations, but you'll need one cable per door if expanding to multi-door access points.
- Access Hub Compatibility: Designed specifically for Ubiquiti Access Hub controllers, ensuring firmware-level integration and consistent relay timing without external drivers or configuration workarounds.
- Standard Lock Support: Works with both electric strike locks (typically 12VDC 500mA draw) and electromagnetic magnetic locks (standard 12VDC configurations)—verify your lock's voltage and current draw against your Access Hub's relay rating before ordering.
- Simplified Wiring: Dedicated relay cable reduces component count and eliminates the need to source separate relay modules, PoE splitters, or auxiliary power supplies for basic single-lock control scenarios.
Integration & Compatibility
This cable integrates into Ubiquiti access control infrastructure at the Access Hub controller level. Before deployment, confirm that your Access Hub model includes relay output connectors—not all Ubiquiti access controllers support relay outputs natively. If your Access Hub lacks relay connectivity, you'll need a separate relay interface module. The UACC-CABLE-DOORLOCKRELAY-1P (often searched as UACC CABLE DOORLOCKRELAY 1P) is a passive cable; it does not add intelligence or override logic—it merely bridges the Access Hub's relay output to your door lock wiring. Coordinate installation with your network infrastructure to ensure the Access Hub has sufficient power and network connectivity to drive the relay.
When to Choose a Different Approach
If your facility requires control of more than one door per Access Hub, or if you need advanced relay logic (time-delayed lock, fail-safe override, or multiple simultaneous outputs), consider a multi-relay breakout module or a dedicated access control panel from the same family. If you're integrating non-Ubiquiti door locks with Ubiquiti cameras and NVRs, verify that your chosen relay cable supports the lock's voltage and current requirements—mismatches result in failed lock activation or hardware damage.
Deployment Notes
Install the UACC-CABLE-DOORLOCKRELAY-1P indoors or in controlled environments only—this is a cable accessory, not an outdoor-rated device. Route the relay wiring away from long runs of high-voltage power lines to minimize electromagnetic interference. Secure the connection to your lock's terminals with proper crimping or soldering; loose connections are a common cause of intermittent lock failure. Test lock activation from the Access Hub's management interface before commissioning the physical location.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the UACC-CABLE-DOORLOCKRELAY-1P control multiple locks?
A: No. This cable provides a single relay output. Each door lock requires its own UACC-CABLE-DOORLOCKRELAY-1P cable connected to a separate relay output on the Access Hub.
Q: What lock types does this cable support?
A: The cable supports standard electric strike and electromagnetic magnetic locks that operate on 12VDC. Confirm your lock's voltage and current draw before purchase to ensure compatibility with your Access Hub's relay specifications.
Q: Does the UACC-CABLE-DOORLOCKRELAY-1P require external power?
A: No. The relay itself is powered by the Access Hub. Your lock's power requirements must be met separately by your lock's dedicated power supply—the relay cable passes the signal, not the power current.
Q: Can I use this cable with non-Ubiquiti access controllers?
A: The UACC-CABLE-DOORLOCKRELAY-1P is designed for Ubiquiti Access Hub systems and may not be compatible with other manufacturers' controllers without custom wiring or adapters.
Q: What is the maximum current the relay can switch?
A: Refer to your Access Hub's technical documentation for relay output specifications. Exceeding the relay's rated current will damage the controller.

The UACC-CABLE-DOORLOCKRELAY-1P is a straightforward integration cable for single-lock scenarios—no surprises, but also no flexibility. The cable itself adds minimal value; what matters is whether your Access Hub actually includes relay outputs. Many deployments ship with relay-disabled firmware or lack the physical connectors entirely, so verify hardware before committing.
Technical Highlights:
- Single-Port Relay Architecture: One relay output per cable means linearly scaling the cable count with door count—simple but inflexible for multi-zone deployments.
- Access Hub Native Integration: No external relay boards or auxiliary PoE splitters required for basic control, reducing bill-of-materials cost and wiring runs in small installations.
- Standard Lock Compatibility: Works with 12VDC electric strike and magnetic lock configurations—the most common lock types in commercial access control, but verify your specific lock's voltage and current draw against your Access Hub's relay rating.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm your Access Hub model ships with relay output connectors and firmware support enabled—some Ubiquiti controllers do not include this feature out of the box.
- Route relay wiring separately from AC power and network runs to avoid signal degradation from electromagnetic interference—critical for reliable lock activation over longer cable runs.
- Lock power supply must be sized independently; the relay cable carries only the control signal, not the lock's operating current. Undersized lock power is a common failure point in field deployments.
Use the UACC-CABLE-DOORLOCKRELAY-1P in small single-lock or dual-lock installs where simplicity outweighs the need for advanced relay logic or multi-zone fail-safe control. In larger facilities or where you need relay failover or time-delayed activation, plan on a dedicated relay breakout module instead.
