Networking Cable Ubiquiti UACC-Cable-Patch-EL-C6A-8M-W Cat6a 8m

The Ubiquiti UACC-Cable-Patch-EL-C6A-8M-W is an ultra-thin, braided and shielded RJ45 patch cable designed and optimized for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE). This Cat6a cable features a translucent white jacket and translucent booted RJ45 connectors with Etherlighting™ compatibility, and is suitable for lengths from 0.15 m up to 15 m; the provided product is the 8 m variant.

Advantages

The cable combines a slim 3 mm (shorter lengths) or 3.3 mm (12–15 m) outer diameter with braided shielding to reduce interference while maintaining flexibility and a low profile. Translucent booted RJ45 connectors provide visual compatibility with Etherlighting™ systems. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Power over Ethernet (PoE) for plug-and-play deployment in high-speed network environments.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN backbones and server connections requiring 10 GbE
• Workstation or switch patching in dense cable runs where thin cables are needed
• PoE-enabled devices such as access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones
• Installations where translucent boot aesthetics or Etherlighting™ compatibility is desired

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6a
• Bandwidth: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Length: 8 m (available lengths: 0.15–15 m)
• Connector type: RJ45 Straight Male to RJ45 Straight Male
• Outer diameter: 3 mm (0.15–8 m lengths), 3.3 mm (12–15 m lengths)
• Shielding: braided shield
• Color/finish: Translucent white with translucent booted connectors
• PoE: Supports Power over Ethernet (plug and play)

How to use

Connect one RJ45 straight male connector to your switch, router, or patch panel and the other connector to the target device (server, workstation, or PoE device). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until you hear the locking clip engage. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and maintain recommended bend radius; keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic interference sources when possible.

Recommendations

For reliable 10 GbE performance, use this Cat6a cable for runs within its specified lengths and avoid exceeding the cable’s recommended bend radius. Choose the 8 m length for mid-range connections; select appropriate shorter or longer lengths (0.15–15 m) to minimize excess cable in dense installations and preserve airflow and cable management.
