Ubiquiti UniFi Etherlighting Patch Cable
The UACC-Cable-Patch-EL-8M-W is an 8 m white UniFi Etherlighting Patch Cable designed for indoor Ethernet networking. It supports data rates up to 10 GbE and uses translucent booted RJ45 connectors designed to showcase Etherlighting effects when connected to compatible Ubiquiti equipment.
Connectivity
This 8 m cable uses two translucent booted RJ45 connectors and unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) construction with stranded copper conductors. Ubiquiti specifies a 2.5 mm outer diameter for the 0.15–8 m lengths, providing a thin cable profile for network installations.
Etherlighting
The translucent RJ45 boots are designed for optimal Etherlighting brightness on compatible Ubiquiti equipment. Etherlighting effects depend on the connected device and its supported functionality; the cable itself does not provide independent lighting functionality.
Key Features
- 8 m end-to-end cable length
- Supports data rates up to 10 GbE
- 2.5 mm outer diameter for the 0.15–8 m lengths
- Translucent booted RJ45 connectors for Etherlighting effects
- 34 AWG stranded copper UTP construction
Applications
The 8 m length is suitable for longer indoor Ethernet connections between network equipment and connected devices where a thin patch cable is preferred. It can also be used in compatible PoE network installations within the manufacturer's specified operating environment.
DC Supplies Product Note
The 8 m version is at the upper end of Ubiquiti's 0.15–8 m length group. It retains the 2.5 mm jacket diameter and 34 AWG conductor specification used for this group, while the 12 m and 15 m variants use a 2.9 mm jacket and 32 AWG conductors.
