Ultra-Thin Braided Cat6a Patch Cable for 10 GbE UniFi Switch and Device Connections
The Ubiquiti UniFi Premium Patch Cable (UACC-Cable-Patch-EL-C6A-2) is a 2-meter (6.6 ft) Cat6a patch cable with an ultra-thin 3mm braided jacket and translucent booted RJ45 connectors. Rated for 10 GbE and PoE up to PoE+++, this cable delivers full 10-Gigabit performance with a profile that reduces cable bulk in rack environments. The 2-meter length reaches across rack units for patch panel connections and between adjacent racks for networking equipment links.
The 2-meter reach extends beyond same-rack connections, making it the right length when patching between equipment that spans the height of a rack or sits in adjacent positions. From top-of-rack patch panels to bottom-mounted switches, or between a UniFi gateway and a switch separated by other equipment, the 2m cable handles the longer in-rack runs. The braided TPE jacket resists tangling and maintains a clean, professional appearance in visible installations.
Where the 2m Premium Patch Cable Fits
- Full-rack patch panel to switch connections where the panel sits at the top of the rack and the switch mounts lower, requiring a longer reach than 1m cables can provide
- Adjacent rack connections where two racks sit side by side and the 2-meter length bridges the gap between equipment in each rack
- Desktop and workstation links where a wall jack or desk-mounted switch connects to a workstation with enough cable length for clean desk-side routing
What the Premium Patch Cable Delivers
- Cat6a, 10 GbE rated: Full Category 6a performance supporting 10-Gigabit Ethernet across the cable length. Backwards compatible with Cat6, Cat5e, and all slower Ethernet standards.
- Ultra-thin 3mm braided jacket: TPE braided construction at just 3mm diameter, significantly thinner than standard Cat6a cables. Reduces cable bulk and improves airflow in dense rack environments.
- PoE+++ support: Rated for all PoE standards up to IEEE 802.3bt (PoE+++), safely carrying power alongside data for powered devices.
- Translucent booted RJ45: Clear boot design provides visual confirmation of connector seating and link activity on devices with port LEDs.
