What's all the fuss? - Ubiquiti Cables

This short video gives you a run through of the different types of pre-made patch cables that Ubiquiti currently sell at the beginning of 2024.
The Flexi Patch Cables (U-Cable-Patch-RJ45) are ultra-thin patch cables with bendable booted RJ45 connectors. These can be purchased from thetechgeeks.com/products/uni...
The Outdoor Patch Cables (UACC-Cable-Patch Outdoor) are an all-weather patch cable designed for outdoor UniFi deployments that require enhanced protection from the elements. It features a shielded RJ45 plug, internal foil shielding, and a built-in ESD drain wire-all encased in a weatherproof, insulating jacket. These can be purchased from thetechgeeks.com/products/uac...
The Etherlighting Patch Cables (UACC-Cable-Patch-EL) are nano-thin patch cable with a translucent boot designed to show Etherlighting effects when connected to Pro Max switching. These can be purchased from thetechgeeks.com/products/uac...

Mr. Bendy looks like a nice cable to have it in your bag everyday. I like it.

[@The_Tech_Geeks]

It does!

I see no reason to buy Ubiquiti's expensive cables. Ethernet is a spec for a reason, any in-spec cable will work, and, it's honestly hard to find cables that aren't nowadays.

[@The_Tech_Geeks]

Correct. They may have a place for some people and that was the idea of the video as we got asked a lot of questions about why would I buy them.

[@ArthursHD]

I would call them underspeced. Just like Chinese flat cables. Manufacturers can print anything on a cable. But standard CAT6A 26AWG S/FTP patch cables are up to spec. I would not go with any thin or flat cable :) Wonder how hot they get if used with PoE++ at maximum length.

[@The_Tech_Geeks]

That is a good point, but these max out at 8m, probably for that exact reason. These are only designed for short patching work really.

Seinfeld ask himself the same question: What's the deal with Ubiquity cables?

[@The_Tech_Geeks]

:D

07:14 150mm* 😉

[@The_Tech_Geeks]

Yep, but I reckon most people will realise it is not 15mm. I had made like 3 hours of videos by that time :D

Cool cables, just way over priced..

[@wilsonlspacheco]

i agree, excelent cables, but over priced. 😐

[@The_Tech_Geeks]

They may well be, but they are an option for some people
