Directional antenna Ubiquiti LBE-5AC-LR 26 dBi

The Ubiquiti LBE-5AC-LR is a directional airMAX LiteBeam AC CPE for 5 GHz long-range wireless links. With a 26 dBi antenna gain and integrated Gigabit Ethernet, it is built to connect distant locations while keeping power consumption low. The unit includes LED indicators for LAN and power, has 64 MB internal memory, and operates from 24 V with a maximum power draw of 7 W. Its compact white housing measures 512 × 258.3 × 385.8 mm and weighs 1.36 kg.

Advantages

The LiteBeam design provides high antenna gain (26 dBi) for extended link distance while maintaining a compact form factor. Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T) ensures compatibility with modern networks and supports higher throughput. Low power consumption (max 7 W) and LED status indicators simplify installation and monitoring. The product is supplied by a reputable brand (UBIQUITI) and is suitable for outdoor directional wireless deployments.
