The Ubiquiti UACC-CABLE-PATCH-EL-5M-W is a 5 m UniFi Etherlighting Patch Cable designed for 10 GbE networking and Etherlighting-enabled installations. It combines a nano-thin 2.5 mm thermoplastic elastomer jacket with stranded copper conductors and translucent booted RJ45 connectors.
Overview
This white patch cable is part of Ubiquiti's UniFi Etherlighting Patch Cable family. Its translucent booted RJ45 connectors are designed to showcase Etherlighting effects while the compact cable construction helps with routing in space-constrained indoor network installations.
Technical Information
The 5 m variant supports data rates up to 10 GbE and PoE up to PoE+++. It uses unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) construction, stranded copper conductors, and 34 AWG conductors for lengths from 1 to 8 m. The 5 m cable has a 2.5 mm outer diameter and a minimum bend radius of 21 mm.
Connectivity and Construction
The cable is terminated with two translucent booted RJ45 connectors. Its TPE jacket provides the specified flexible, nano-thin construction, while the UTP design is intended for standard compatible Ethernet connections.
Key Features
- 5 m cable length
- 10 GbE data-rate support
- Translucent booted RJ45 connectors for Etherlighting
- 2.5 mm nano-thin TPE jacket
- 34 AWG stranded copper conductors
Applications
The UACC-CABLE-PATCH-EL-5M-W is suited to indoor Ethernet patching between compatible network equipment, including UniFi switches and other RJ45 Ethernet devices. Its 5 m length provides additional reach where shorter patch cables are insufficient.
DC Supplies Product Note
Do not confuse this MPN with the similarly named UACC-CABLE-PATCH-EL-C6A-5M-W. The exact UACC-CABLE-PATCH-EL-5M-W is the UniFi Etherlighting Patch Cable with a 2.5 mm diameter; the UACC-CABLE-PATCH-EL-C6A series is the separate UniFi Premium Patch Cable family with a 3 mm diameter for the 5 m length.
