24-Pack Nano-Thin Patch Cables with Translucent Boots for Pro Max Etherlighting Effects
The Ubiquiti Etherlighting Patch Cable is a 24-pack of nano-thin 0.15-meter (approximately 6-inch) Cat6 Ethernet cables with translucent booted RJ45 connectors. These are purpose-built for UniFi Pro Max switches that support Etherlighting, where the translucent boot lights up with color-coded LED effects to visually identify port status, VLANs, or network activity directly at the switch face.
Standard patch cables with opaque boots block the Etherlighting LEDs built into Pro Max switch ports. These translucent-boot cables let the full light output pass through so the color effects are visible across the patch panel. The 2.5 mm outer diameter keeps cable bundles tight in high-density switch configurations.
Where the Etherlighting Patch Cable Fits
- UniFi Pro Max switch deployments where Etherlighting port illumination is used for visual VLAN identification, link status, or network monitoring at the rack
- Patch panel to switch runs in network closets where the 0.15M length keeps cables short and organized between a patch panel mounted directly above or below the switch
- Clean rack builds where the nano-thin 2.5 mm diameter and short length eliminate cable bulk between closely mounted devices
What the Cable Delivers
- Translucent boot for Etherlighting: Clear RJ45 boot passes through the LED illumination from Pro Max switch ports. Opaque boots on standard cables block the effect entirely.
- Nano-thin 2.5 mm diameter: Significantly thinner than standard Cat6 cables. Reduces bundle size and improves airflow in dense switch configurations.
- Cat6 Gigabit performance: Full Cat6 rating for Gigabit Ethernet over the 0.15M length. No performance compromise from the thin profile.
- 24-pack: Enough to cable an entire 24-port Pro Max switch in one order.
