Ubiquiti U-CABLE-PATCH-5M-RJ45 Cat6 Patch Cable
Overview
The Ubiquiti U-CABLE-PATCH-5M-RJ45 is a 5-meter Cat6 patch cable engineered for Ubiquiti UniFi infrastructure deployments. The ultra-thin 3mm outer diameter (OD) and bendable booted RJ45 connectors make it suited for dense conduit runs, wall cavity installations, and equipment racks where cable bulk becomes a practical constraint. It passes TIA-568-B.2 Cat6 channel certification via Fluke testing — relevant when you're building documented infrastructure that must meet enterprise cabling standards. At 5 meters, this length bridges typical distances between wall-mounted access points, PoE injectors, and network switch uplinks without excess slack.
Compatibility
Works with any Ubiquiti UniFi switch, access point, or PoE injector equipped with standard gigabit RJ45 ports. Compatible with all UniFi PoE devices and inline power injection setups. The cable also functions with non-Ubiquiti equipment (standard switches, routers, patch panels) that accept Cat6 Ethernet — there's nothing proprietary about the connector or signal. White finish blends into typical office and data center environments.
Installation Notes
The bendable boot design reduces the bend radius strain typical of rigid connectors — useful when routing behind tight fixture gaps or through existing cable trays. Despite the thin 3mm profile, the cable maintains full Cat6 electrical performance and PoE current delivery. No special tools or crimpers are required; connectors arrive pre-terminated with male RJ45 ends on both sides. Verify cable routing avoids sharp edges or pinch points that could damage the outer jacket over time.
