Ubiquiti UACC-CABLE-PT-30M 30M DC Power Cable

Ubiquiti UACC-CABLE-PT-30M 30-Meter Outdoor DC Power Cable

The Ubiquiti UACC-CABLE-PT-30M is a 30-meter DC power transport cable engineered for outdoor infrastructure where standard cables fail. UV-resistant polyethylene jacket and all-weather construction deliver reliable power to remote sites without degradation. Built for UISP power transport systems and compatible outdoor DC applications in the 24V or 48V range — the dual-voltage support eliminates cable swaps across different power architectures on the same site.

Key Features

• 30-Meter Length: Eliminates the need for multiple shorter cables or inline power supplies to reach distant outdoor equipment — a real cost advantage on point-to-point links, distributed antenna systems, or remote edge sites where trenching additional power circuits isn't practical.
• UV-Resistant Jacket: Standard PVC degrades under UV exposure within 12–18 months in full sun; this cable's formulation extends service life to 3+ years in harsh climates, reducing replacement labor and downtime risk.
• All-Weather Polyethylene Construction: Resists cracking and brittleness in freeze-thaw cycles and extreme heat — matters if you're deploying in northern climates or deserts with temperature swings exceeding 80°C.
• Male Power Transport Connectors (Both Ends): Standardized connectors mate with Ubiquiti UISP power modules and compatible outdoor DC supplies, reducing integration time and connector inventory across your fleet.
• 24V and 48V DC Compatibility: Works in both common outdoor power architectures without rewiring or adapter expense — a practical advantage if your site mixes older 24V radio systems with newer 48V PoE-powered equipment.
• Carrier-Grade Deployment Ready: Sized and specified for telecom, integrator, and enterprise outdoor networks where cable failure directly impacts uptime on revenue-generating infrastructure.

Integration & Compatibility

Purpose-built for Ubiquiti UISP power systems and outdoor DC delivery applications. Integrates directly with standard 24V and 48V power supplies used in outdoor surveillance and mesh radio deployments. Male connectors on both ends — no adapters required if your power modules ship with matching female connectors. Suitable for installers provisioning extended outdoor site coverage where power distribution is distance-constrained.

When to Choose a Different Model

If you need shorter runs under 10 meters, evaluate shorter cable variants in the Ubiquiti power transport line — they reduce bulk and cost. If your outdoor sites require multiple power branches to different equipment, a powered distribution hub may better fit than a single 30-meter run. If your site involves buried runs with potential moisture intrusion, specify conduit in addition to this cable — UV resistance alone does not guarantee waterproofing against standing water.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's the voltage drop over 30 meters on the UACC-CABLE-PT-30M?

A: Voltage drop depends on load current and conductor gauge. Consult Ubiquiti's UISP power system documentation for your specific 24V or 48V configuration. As a rule, higher voltages (48V) drop less than 24V at the same wattage — a factor if you're powering multiple radios on a single 30-meter run.

Q: Is the UACC-CABLE-PT-30M suitable for burial?

A: The cable's UV resistance protects against surface sunlight, not chemical or mechanical damage from soil. If you must bury it, use rigid PVC conduit and avoid areas with sharp rocks or root growth that can pierce the jacket.

Q: Can I use the UACC-CABLE-PT-30M indoors?

A: Yes. The outdoor-grade construction works indoors, though it's over-specified for climate-controlled environments. No harm, but cost per meter is higher than standard indoor cable.

Q: What connector types are on the UACC-CABLE-PT-30M?

A: Male power transport connectors on both ends. Verify compatibility with your Ubiquiti power modules or third-party outdoor DC supplies before ordering — mismatched connectors require adapters.

Q: Does Ubiquiti publish a warranty on the UACC-CABLE-PT-30M?

A: Refer to Ubiquiti's standard accessory warranty terms. Cable damage from misuse, pinching, or environmental factors not covered by UV resistance alone (e.g., rodent chew) typically fall outside warranty scope.

Perspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.

The UACC-CABLE-PT-30M fills a real gap in outdoor power distribution — that sweet spot where 10–15 meter patch cables don't reach and you can't justify trenching new power circuits. On UISP deployments, this cable earns its cost through installation speed alone, and the UV-resistant jacket means you're not replacing it every 18 months.

Technical Highlights:

• 30-Meter Extended Run: Covers typical rooftop-to-ground or tower-base distances without inline splitters or daisy-chaining — each splice or connector adds failure points and voltage drop, so a single 30-meter run is architecturally cleaner than three 10-meter cables.
• UV-Resistant Polyethylene: Extends field life from 12–18 months (standard PVC) to 3+ years in direct sun — translates to roughly 50–60% fewer replacement cycles over a 5-year site lifecycle on high-sun deployments.
• Dual 24V/48V Support: Eliminates stock-keeping overhead; one cable type covers both legacy and modern UISP architectures across your customer base.

Deployment Considerations:

• Voltage drop compounds over 30 meters at high current draws — verify wire gauge and expected load against Ubiquiti's power budget calculator for your specific equipment before committing. 48V deployments tolerate longer runs better than 24V in practice.
• UV resistance protects the outer jacket, not the interior from moisture ingress if the cable is kinked or punctured. In damp climates, consider conduit at cable termination points.

Best fit: point-to-point radio links, rooftop-mounted radios feeding ground-level PoE injectors, and distributed antenna systems on larger campuses where site power is centralized and outdoor cable runs exceed 15 meters. Not necessary for short control-room-to-cabinet runs or systems where local 24/48V supplies are at each endpoint.
