1.5-Meter Power Cable for Connecting UniFi SmartPower Devices to the USP-RPS Redundant Power System
The Ubiquiti SmartPower Cable (USP-Cable) is a 1.5-meter power cable that connects compatible UniFi devices to the USP-RPS Redundant Power System. It provides the physical link between the RPS unit and downstream hardware, enabling automatic failover power delivery when the primary PoE source drops. Built with 16 AWG and 24 AWG conductors in a durable PVC jacket for reliable power transmission in rack and structured cabling environments.
The USP-Cable is required for each device connected to the USP-RPS. One cable per device, one port per cable. If your rack has a USP-RPS unit providing backup power to three switches, you need three USP-Cables. The 1.5-meter length is designed for in-rack or adjacent-rack connections where the RPS unit and protected devices are co-located.
Where the USP-Cable Fits
- Rack deployments with USP-RPS where each protected UniFi device needs a dedicated power cable connecting it to the redundant power system for automatic failover
- Network closets and structured cabling environments where reliable power delivery requires heavy-gauge conductors and durable jacketing that withstands repeated handling during maintenance
- NDAA-compliant installations where every component in the power chain must meet federal procurement requirements alongside the rest of the UniFi infrastructure
What the USP-Cable Delivers
- 1.5m (4.9 ft) cable length: Sized for in-rack and adjacent-rack connections between the USP-RPS and protected devices. Clean cable runs without excess slack.
- 16 AWG and 24 AWG conductors: Heavy-gauge power conductors handle the current demands of PoE switches and other USP-RPS-protected hardware without voltage drop over the cable length.
- Durable PVC jacket: Industrial-grade outer jacket resists abrasion from cable management clips, trays, and repeated handling during rack maintenance.
- NDAA compliant: Meets National Defense Authorization Act requirements for government, education, and enterprise procurement alongside other Ubiquiti infrastructure.
