Ubiquiti PowerBeam M5 400 PBE-M5-400 5 GHz Gigabit airMAX Network Bridge

Tired of unreliable point-to-point links that drop your video streams and slow down file transfers? The PowerBeam M5 400 gives you a rock-solid 5 GHz bridge that keeps your data flowing. Plug it in, point the dish, and watch latency disappear.

Ubiquiti PowerBeam M5 400 PBE-M5-400 5 GHz Gigabit airMAX Network Bridge

The Ubiquiti PowerBeam M5 400 is built around a high-gain dish reflector that focuses the 5 GHz signal for long-range, high-throughput connections. With a maximum data transfer rate of 1000 Mbit/s and a 25 dBi antenna gain, it turns a simple Ethernet link into a gigabit-speed wireless bridge. The device runs on a 560 MHz Atheros processor, 64 MB internal memory and supports PoE+ for easy power delivery over a single cable.

Designed for outdoor pole mounting, the white plastic enclosure can withstand temperatures from -40 °C to 70 °C and humidity up to 95 %. The built-in LED indicators let you quickly verify LAN, power and WLAN status, while the Gigabit Ethernet port ensures seamless integration with existing network gear. With FCC, CE, IC and RoHS certifications, the PowerBeam M5 400 meets global compliance standards.

Whether you are extending a campus network, linking remote offices, or providing backhaul for a wireless ISP, this bridge delivers reliable, low-latency performance. The 42 cm dish diameter and precise alignment tools make installation straightforward, and the included mounting bracket saves you time and extra hardware costs.

Benefits

You gain a high-capacity, interference-resistant link that supports gigabit Ethernet without the expense of fiber. The PowerBeam’s low power consumption (8 W) and PoE+ operation simplify deployment in locations without nearby power outlets. With robust weather resistance and a compact pole-mount design, you can trust the bridge to stay online year-round.
