UniFi AC In-Wall 5-pack

UniFi AC In‑Wall 5‑Pack: The Ultimate Wall‑Mounted Wi‑Fi Solution

The UniFi AC In‑Wall 5‑Pack delivers enterprise‑grade wireless performance in a sleek, wall‑mounted form factor. Designed for seamless integration into modern homes and offices, each unit combines dual‑band 802.11ac technology with Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, enabling high‑speed connectivity without the clutter of cables or power outlets.

Key Technical Highlights

• Dual‑Band Operation: Supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies, ensuring robust coverage and reduced interference.
• 802.11ac Standards: Provides data rates from 6.5 Mbps to 867 Mbps (MCS0‑MCS9, NSS1/2, VHT20/40/80), delivering reliable performance for streaming, gaming, and large file transfers.
• PoE Compatibility: Built with an integrated PoE adapter; each unit can be powered directly from a UniFi PoE switch, simplifying installation.
• Wireless Isolation: Equipped with internal isolation to minimize cross‑talk between adjacent access points in dense deployments.
• Security Protocols: Supports WEP (128/152/64 bit), WPA/WPA‑PSK, and WPA2/WPA2‑PSK, ensuring secure network access for all devices.
• Physical Dimensions: Height: 139.7 mm; Width: 86.7 mm; Depth: 10 mm – compact enough to fit flush against any wall surface.
• Power Consumption: Operates at 7 W, making it energy‑efficient for continuous use.
• IP65 Rating: Weather‑proof enclosure protects the unit from dust and water splashes, suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.
• VLAN Support: Tagged VLAN capability allows network segmentation and traffic isolation within a single physical infrastructure.

Installation & Deployment

The UniFi AC In‑Wall 5‑Pack is engineered for quick, cable‑free deployment. Simply mount the unit to any wall surface using the included hardware, connect a single PoE cable from your UniFi switch, and the device will automatically integrate into your existing UniFi Controller. No additional configuration is required beyond assigning SSIDs and security settings through the controller interface.

Because each access point can be powered via PoE, you eliminate the need for separate power outlets near walls, reducing visual clutter and simplifying cable management. The wall‑mounted design also frees up floor space, making it ideal for tight office layouts or home entertainment centers.

Performance & Coverage

With a maximum theoretical throughput of 867 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and robust support for both single‑stream (NSS1) and dual‑stream (NSS2) MIMO, the UniFi AC In‑Wall delivers consistent speeds across multiple devices. The internal antenna design provides a coverage radius of approximately 100 m indoors, with an angular spread of 10° horizontally and vertically, ensuring that signals reach every corner of a room.

The device’s dual‑band radios allow simultaneous connections to legacy 802.11b/g/n clients on the 2.4 GHz band while providing high‑performance connectivity for modern devices on the 5 GHz band. This duality ensures backward compatibility without sacrificing speed.

Management & Scalability

All units in the 5‑Pack are managed centrally through the UniFi Controller software, which offers real‑time monitoring, firmware updates, and detailed analytics. The controller can automatically discover new access points, simplifying network expansion as your environment grows.

The VLAN tagging feature allows you to segment traffic for different departments or user groups without additional hardware. Combined with the PoE power delivery, this makes the 5‑Pack an ideal choice for campus networks, hotels, and multi‑tenant office spaces where isolation and scalability are paramount.

Design & Aesthetics

The unit’s matte white finish blends seamlessly into any interior décor. Its slim profile (10 mm depth) ensures it sits flush against the wall, creating a clean, unobtrusive look. The internal plastic housing is durable yet lightweight, with a weight of approximately 4.3 kg per pack.

Environmental & Regulatory Compliance

• Certifications: CE, FCC, IC – guaranteeing compliance with international safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards.
• IP65 Rating: The enclosure protects against dust ingress and water jets, making it suitable for environments with higher humidity or accidental splashes.

Conclusion

The UniFi AC In‑Wall 5‑Pack is a powerful, versatile solution that brings enterprise‑grade wireless performance to any wall. Its PoE support, dual‑band capability, and seamless integration into the UniFi ecosystem make it an excellent choice for businesses seeking scalable, secure, and aesthetically pleasing network infrastructure.

Whether you’re upgrading a small office or deploying a campus‑wide Wi‑Fi network, this 5‑Pack delivers reliable coverage, high throughput, and effortless management—all from a single wall‑mounted unit.
