Ultra-thin 2.5 GbE cable for UniFi networks

The Ubiquiti Etherlighting Patch Cable is a nano-thin Category 6a patch cord rated for 2.5 GbE speeds. Its white jacket and translucent RJ45 connectors are designed to showcase Etherlighting effects on compatible UniFi switches. The 5 metre length suits rack or desk runs where a slim profile eases cable management.

Check switch port speed and Etherlighting support

Verify that the target switch ports operate at 2.5 GbE or higher and that the specific model implements Etherlighting illumination. The translucent connectors only reveal their lighting effect when paired with hardware that drives the feature. Ensure the 5 metre reach matches the distance between your switch and the connected device without excess slack.

Translucent connectors optimise light visibility

The clear RJ45 housings let status and Etherlighting LEDs shine through without obstruction, giving instant visual confirmation of link activity. The ultra-thin jacket reduces bundle bulk in dense patches, while the Category 6a construction maintains signal integrity at the rated 2.5 GbE throughput. No additional software or drivers are required beyond the switch firmware.

Questions about this item

Does the 5 m cable arrive ready to plug in, or do I need separate RJ45 connectors?

The cable ships with translucent RJ45 connectors already fitted on both ends, so no extra connectors are required.

Is the 2.5 GbE rating the only speed option, or are there slower or faster versions of this cable?

The listed model supports up to 2.5 GbE; no other speed variants are mentioned for this product.

When the cable is installed in a 2.5 GbE switch port, what throughput should I expect?

The cable is rated for 2.5 GbE, so it will carry the full 2.5 GbE line rate when connected to compatible ports.
