Ubiquiti ETH-SP-G2 Ethernet Surge Protector Gen 2
The Ubiquiti ETH-SP-G2 Ethernet Surge Protector Gen 2 is a passive inline surge protector designed to shield outdoor network devices from electrostatic discharge and voltage spikes. It handles both PoE and non-PoE equipment running up to 2.5 Gbps and requires no power source, making it straightforward to deploy in exposed locations.
Why this product
Diverts damaging surges to ground safely
ESD and transient voltage attacks are absorbed and discharged harmlessly rather than passing through to connected devices.
Works with PoE and standard Ethernet alike
Two passive RJ45 connections support both powered and unpowered devices without any active components or power requirement.
Rated for harsh outdoor conditions
IPX5 weatherproofing and operating range of −30 to 65° C means it remains effective in rain, snow and temperature swings.
Handles modern network speeds
Data line protection extends to 2.5 Gbps, covering current and near-future Ethernet deployments.

- Any outdoor Ethernet device running at 1 Gbps or below, including PoE-powered access points, cameras and bridges.
- 2.5 GbE equipment, provided surge exposure is the primary concern.
- Indoor-only installations do not warrant the cost unless surge risk from external cabling is documented.
- 10 GbE networks; data line protection maxes out at 2.5 Gbps.
- Devices requiring active impedance matching or signal conditioning; this is purely passive surge diversion.
Best for
- Outdoor WiFi and cellular sites where lightning or nearby electrical activity poses a regular risk.
- Remote surveillance networks running PoE cameras in exposed locations.
- Ethernet runs with significant external cable exposure, such as building-to-building links.
- Budget-conscious deployments needing ESD protection without active power or monitoring overhead.
Trade-offs
- High-speed data centers or servers requiring 10 GbE or greater connectivity.
- Environments requiring a warranty or SLA on protected device replacement in the event of a surge event.
- Installations where monitoring or alerting on surge events is mandatory. This device provides no feedback or logging.
- Indoor patched networks with minimal external conductor exposure and no documented ESD history.
ESD protection for outdoor high-speed networks.
The ETH-SP-G2 is engineered to protect any Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) or non-PoE device with connection speeds of up to 1 Gbps.
Two passive, surge-protected RJ45 connections provide maximum equipment compatibility. Damaging electrostatic discharge attacks and surges are diverted to the ETH-SP-G2 and safely discharged into the ground, so network devices are protected.
