Cloud Key Gen2 Ethernet Cable

The gen 1 cloud key had a fatal flaw where sudden power disruptions would wipe the configuring and force you to rebuild your unifi setup. The gen2 and gen2+ fix this by adding a small on board batteryto allow for graceful shutdown in the event of power cycling the switch or a power failure. As for the rest, the casing and build quality are nice. The plus model ships with a 1TB 2.5 inch drive for use with protect. The user can swap this for up to a 5TB. The cloud key is the hardware running the Unifi network local hosted browser based GUI. It's a single pane of glass admin panel for setting up and administering your unifi network. Being locally hosted you avoid web hosted costs and outage concerns. Unifi does have its quarks but for a home or SMB user that wants or needs VLAN integration, multiple SSID capable APs, and doesn't want to spend all their time learning to code, it's a great option. I will say it requires modest knowledge and understanding of networking and network architecture but there's tons of tutorials online about configuring and running unifi.

Using this with a Cloud Key Gen2 Plus.  Plugged in camera to network, Cloud Key identified it, adopted camera, updated firmware and started using it about 5 minutes after unboxing.  Great picture!

Just works. Integrates with the Ubiquiti Cloud Key GEN2 for recording at home, without extra fees.

I have the Cloud Key Gen2 Plus configured as a NVR only and it is working grate with 3 Unifi protect G4 cameras, I have I set up my family's members with there own user account so they can setup custom alerts to there iPhone. I did up grade the hard drive to a Samsung 1TB SSD for better performance. I plan on buying more Unifi protect G4 when they come back in stock.

Well, although a fully functional poe 1000 plugged in to the Cloud Key, it reports no Ethernet. Hard reset doesn't work. Reset to factory fresh, and still on the fritz but pinnacle. Latest firmware isn't recognized but the release previous is functional. It all worked out in the end. I'm still a fan.

I have an ARC, and 3 Sonos One Gen2's, I want to add a sub, loved the ease of setup, and now with the ARC connected via ethernet the whole system is awesome

Not much to say about an ethernet cable, except that it works.

I bought this to replace my gen 1 Cloud Key. It has a few key features that the gen 1 does not. The most important being that if it senses that power is out it will shut itself down. The GEN one cloud key has an issue that if it lost power it could corrupt the site info stored on it. The gen 2 also has mush better specs and internal storage so no need for the micro ad card.

Definitely an upgrade from the Cloud Key Gen 1, worth the money.

Short Ethernet cable that works.
