TERMS OF USE: Ubiquiti radio devices must be professionally installed. Shielded Ethernet
cable and earth grounding must be used as conditions of product warranty. TOUGHCable
™
is designed for outdoor installations. It is the customer’s responsibility to follow local country
regulations, including operation within legal frequency channels, output power, and Dynamic
Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements.
airFiber X Compatibility
The airFiber NxN is designed for use with airFiber 5X radios,
(model AF-5X) and 5 GHz airFiber X or RocketDish
™
antennas.
Note: The airFiber X Antenna OMT Conversion Kit
(AF-5G-OMT-S45) is highly recommended when using a
RocketDish for proper fitting and improved frequency
isolation.
Installation Requirements
• (2) airFiber 5X radios for AF-MPx4
• (4) airFiber 5X radios for AF-MPx8
• airFiber X or RocketDish antenna
• Clear view of the sky for proper GPS operation
• Ground wires – min. 10 AWG (5 mm
2
) and max. length:
1m. Asa safety precaution, ground the airFiber radios to
grounded masts, poles, towers, or grounding bars.
WARNING: Failure to properly ground your
airFiber radio will void your warranty.
Note: For guidelines about grounding and
lightning protection, follow your local electrical
regulatorycodes.
• Outdoor, shielded Category 6 (or above) cabling and
shielded RJ-45 connectors are required for all wired
Ethernetconnections.
Hardware Overview
airFiber NxN Multiplexer
Chain 0 Chain 1
RF Cables
(AF-MPx8 Shown)
Chain 0 Connect the antenna RF +45° to this connector.
Chain 1 Connect the antenna RF -45° to this connector.
RF Cables Connect each RF Cable pair to the corresponding
RFconnection chain on each airFiber 5X radio. For example,
connect cable A0 to Chain 0, and cable A1 to Chain 1.
Configure the airFiber 5X Radio
Note: The airFiber 5X radios must be running airOS®F
v3.2.1 or newer. The latest firmware is available at:
downloads.ubnt.com/airfiber
Each airFiber 5X radio must be preconfigured for use with the
airFiberNxN before installing them at the site. Configuration
details are available in the airFiber X User Guide, available at:
downloads.ubnt.com/airfiber
Enable airFiber NxN support on each radio:
1. Log into the airOS F Configuration Interface.
2. Click the Wireless tab.
3. Enter the additional Cable Loss value (dB):
a. 4.1 for the AF-MPx4, or
b. 7.2 for the AF-MPx8
4. For the NxN Radio setting, select Enable.
5. Click Change, and then click Apply.
Hardware Installation
The following installation shows the AF-MPx8. For the
AF-MPx4 installation, only the mounting and connecting of
two airFiber 5X radios apply.
1. (For AF-MPx8 only) Attach the 8x8 Radio Bracket to the 4x4
Radio Bracket using four M3x8 Screws.
2. Seat the airFiber NxN Multiplexer into the 4x4 Radio Bracket
either at (a) a 15° angle or (b) vertically:
a. For most antenna models, the airFiber NxN Multiplexer
should be installed at a 15° angle. Insert the airFiber NxN
Multiplexer from behind the 4x4 Radio Bracket and slide
the 15° Angle Tabs into the slots on the bracket.
15° Angle Tab
b. For other antenna configurations that require the
airFiber NxN assembly to be mounted to a pole, the
airFiber NxN Multiplexer must be installed vertically.
Insert the airFiber NxN Multiplexer from behind the 4x4
Radio Bracket and slide the Vertical Tabs into the slots
on the bracket.
Vertical Tab
3. Secure the airFiber NxN Multiplexer to the 4x4 Radio Bracket
using two M4x12 Screws.
Note: Ensure the airFiber 5X radios are preconfigured
and the ground wires are installed as outlined in the
radio’s Quick Start Guide before mounting the radios.
4. Mount the airFiber 5X radios to the 4x4 Radio Bracket:
a. Align the mounting tabs on the back of the radio with
the mounting bracket.
b. Slide the radio down to lock it into place.

6. Connect the RF Cables to the airFiber 5X radios. Connect
each RF Cable pair to the corresponding RFconnection
chain on each radio. For example, connect cable A0 to
Chain 0, and cable A1 to Chain 1.
7. Attach the airFiber NxN assembly to the airFiber X or
RocketDish antenna:
a. Align the mounting tabs on the back of the airFiber NxN
Multiplexer with the mounting bracket.
b. Slide the airFiber NxN Multiplexer down to lock it into
place on the bracket.
Note: The airFiber NxN assembly may be pole-mounted
if it cannot be attached to the antenna. See the
Pole-Mounting section for details.
8. Connect the RF cables from the antenna to the RF
connectors on the airFiber NxN Multiplexer. Connect +45° to
Chain 0 and -45° to Chain 1.
9. Attach the GPS antennas to each of the airFiber 5X radios.
10. Mount the GPS antennas in a location that has a clear view
of the sky, and is above and as far away from the radios as
possible.
11. Attach the Protective Shrouds:
a. Insert the Protective Shroud’s attachment tab between
the airFiber 5X radio and the 4x4 Radio Bracket.
b. Push the Protective Shroud down until the attachment
tab locks into place.
12. Secure the grounding wire from each radio to a grounded
mast, pole, tower, or grounding bar.
WARNING: Failure to properly ground your
airFiber radio will void your warranty.
Note: The ground wire should be as short as
possible and no longer than one meter in length.
Pole-Mounting
1. Ensure the airFiber NxN Multiplexer is installed vertically in
the 4x4 Radio Bracket.
2. Mount the airFiber NxN assembly to the pole using two
metal straps (not included):
a. Insert a metal strap through each mounting bracket on
the back of the airFiber NxN Multiplexer and 4x4 Radio
Bracket.
b. Secure both staps around the pole.
3. Connect the RF cables from the antenna to the
RFconnectors on the airFiber NxN Multiplexer. Connect
+45° to Chain 0 and -45° to Chain 1.
