Product Specifications

Designed for High-Density Wireless Networks

The UAP-AC-HD is engineered for wireless environments where many users and devices may be connected simultaneously. This makes it particularly useful for offices, schools, universities, hotels, conference environments and other locations where wireless capacity is as important as coverage.

4×4 MU-MIMO Technology

802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO allows the UAP-AC-HD to communicate with multiple compatible clients simultaneously. This helps increase overall network efficiency compared with wireless systems that must serve individual devices sequentially.

Dual-Band Wireless Performance

The access point provides simultaneous 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless connectivity. Maximum supported data rates reach up to 800Mbps on 2.4GHz and 1733Mbps on 5GHz, giving administrators flexibility when balancing coverage, compatibility and performance requirements.

Dual Gigabit Ethernet Ports

Two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces provide wired network connectivity for the access point. This gives network installers additional flexibility when planning professional UniFi deployments.

802.3at PoE+ Power

The UAP-AC-HD supports IEEE 802.3at PoE+, allowing power and network data to travel over compatible Ethernet cabling. This can simplify ceiling and wall installations by eliminating the requirement for a separate electrical outlet next to the access point.

Centralized UniFi Network Management

Integration with the UniFi network platform allows administrators to configure and monitor compatible access points from a centralized interface. This makes the UAP-AC-HD suitable for deployments involving multiple access points and network locations.

Flexible Ceiling and Wall Installation

The circular enclosure is designed for discreet professional installation on ceilings or walls. Correct access point placement can help provide more consistent coverage across offices, commercial facilities and other multi-user environments.

Important Compatibility Information

The UAP-AC-HD is an 802.11ac Wave 2 / Wi-Fi 5 access point rather than a Wi-Fi 6 access point. Maximum wireless data rates are theoretical PHY rates and actual throughput depends on connected client capabilities, channel width, interference, network configuration and environmental conditions.

A compatible 802.3at PoE+ power source should be used. Availability of a PoE injector may depend on the exact package or regional SKU, so package contents should be confirmed before publishing.
