AF-24 | airFiber-24, 1-pack

Operating in the 24 GHz band, the airFiber-24 operates with aggregate speeds up to 1.4 Gbps.

This product is end of life. Although the Airfiber range does not completely replace the AF-24, the Airfiber range can perform better in certain installations. View the range here here.

Need 2 units for a link

The price shown is for one unit. You need two units to make a link.

Calculated (Theoretical) Distance limits in Australia

These distance limits are calculated from the Ubiquiti AirFiber Datasheet, and the legal EIRP limits set by the ACMA.

Max. Data Rate
(Mbps)
Max. Distance (km)
No Rain 6mm/hr 12mm/hr
1500 1.6 1.4 1.2
1000 3.1 2.4 1.9
500 6.2 3.9 3.0
250 7.8 4.6 3.4
62.5 17.5 7.4 5.2

Reported Real World Links

The table below lists some real world results reported by customers. In each case we have verified that the links were not operating beyond the Australian 20 dBm EIRP limit. As you can see, performance has exceeded expectations. This can be explained by the receiver system (Antenna gain and/or sensitivity) being better than official specifications.

Distance (km) Speed (Mbps) Rain? Location

Notes and Assumptions

  1. Operating at 24.2 GHz
  2. Max Data Rate is the FDD rate. Full duplex, aggregate of traffic in both directions
  3. ACMA EIRP limit at 24 GHz is 100mW (20 dBm)
  4. Calculations done with rain fade values of:
    • No Rain
    • 1dB/km rain fade (= 6 mm/hr) (= 1/4" per hr)
    • 2dB/km rain fade (= 12 mm/hr) (= 1/2" per hr)

Minimum Distance

The minimum distance between Master and Slave ends of the link depends on model:
  • airFiber5 - 10 meters
  • airFiber 24 and 24HD - 25 meters (using firmware 2.0 or higher)

Recommended Surge Protector


GbE POE Surge Protector

This in-line surge protector is suitable for use with the Ubiquiti airFiber.

From the airFiber User Guide:

  Note: For added protection, we recommend installing two GigE PoE surge protectors. Install the first surge protector within one meter of the airFiber DATA port, and install the second surge protector at the ingress point of the location housing the wired network equipment.  

This surge protector is used in-line on a Cat5/Cat5e connection, and is used to help protect:
  • ethernet interface damage in the event of nearby lightning storms, and
  • building damage in the event of a direct lightning strike where a current surge flows down the ethernet cable.

Band: 24 GHz
MIMO: Yes
USA-Locked: No (Details ...)
Certification: FCC, EU, AU
Power cord included: Australian
Reseller Warranty: 1 year, return to Australia
Support: Ubiquiti live chat
