Ubiquiti UniFi Etherlighting Patch Cable
The UACC-Cable-Patch-EL-12M-W is a 12 m white UniFi Etherlighting Patch Cable for Ethernet networking at data rates up to 10 GbE. It features a nano-thin 2.9 mm outer diameter at this length and translucent booted RJ45 connectors designed to showcase Etherlighting effects on compatible Ubiquiti equipment.
Connectivity
The cable uses two translucent booted RJ45 connectors and unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) construction with stranded copper conductors. The 12 m variant uses 32 AWG conductors and has a minimum bend radius of 24 mm.
Etherlighting Compatibility
The translucent RJ45 boots are designed for optimal Etherlighting brightness when connected to compatible Ubiquiti equipment. Etherlighting functionality depends on the connected Ubiquiti device and its supported features; the cable itself does not operate as an independent lighting device.
Key Features
- 12 m cable length for longer Ethernet connections
- Supports data rates up to 10 GbE
- 2.9 mm outer diameter for the 12–15 m cable lengths
- Translucent booted RJ45 connectors designed for Etherlighting brightness
- 32 AWG stranded copper UTP construction
Applications
The 12 m length is suited to Ethernet connections where a longer patch cable is required between network equipment and connected devices. The thin cable construction can help limit cable bulk compared with thicker Ethernet patch cables.
DC Supplies Product Note
For this exact 12 m MPN, the cable diameter and conductor gauge differ from the shorter 0.15–8 m variants in the same Etherlighting family. Ubiquiti specifies a 2.9 mm jacket diameter and 32 AWG stranded copper conductors for the 12–15 m lengths.

FAQs
What is the length of UACC-Cable-Patch-EL-12M-W?
This exact MPN is the 12 m version of Ubiquiti's UniFi Etherlighting Patch Cable.
Does the 12 m version support 10 GbE?
Yes. Ubiquiti specifies a supported data rate of up to 10 GbE for the UniFi Etherlighting Patch Cable.
What type of connectors does it use?
The cable has two translucent booted RJ45 connectors designed to provide optimal Etherlighting brightness on compatible equipment.
Is UACC-Cable-Patch-EL-12M-W shielded?
No. Ubiquiti specifies the cable as UTP, or unshielded twisted pair.
Is the 12 m cable the same construction as the shorter Etherlighting cables?
Not exactly. Ubiquiti specifies a 2.9 mm jacket diameter and 32 AWG conductors for the 12–15 m lengths, compared with 2.5 mm and 34 AWG for the 1–8 m lengths.
