I can see it saving time too because if you know those blue ones are supposed to be white--no hunting for link leds or whatnot.
Not to be a Debbie Downer, but what is the benefit to data center management or staff? Since when have data centers paid extra for "slick?"
I'm usually never looking at that end, but that's me.
I could see it being a huge benefit when they're trying to find a cable that's gone bad.
No. But still, how does RGB help?
that was clear.
"configure the lights to respond to power consumption changes on the master outlet." meh, one lights good enough for me....So in related news, RGB UPS units!

I don't see any use for RGB on these whatsoever. Somebody figure out a use for this and tell me so I feel better about them existing.
Hmmm...in a rackmount configuration to go along with the lighted cables on the switches...I could possibly go along with that...
lol, would be quite epic. A whole party in a server room would actually be next level.All i can imagine is some geek in the network closet dancing with the LEDs going wild, listening to EDM or some shit.
The day it was revealed that their software was compromised and their reaction clearly put them out of the 'enterprise' camp. Enterprise companies don't address severe security issues by blowing off their customers concerns.This from the same company that brings us “enterprise” gear controlled by a joke piece of software - and without any enterprise features.
Their user base probably love this, though!
Youll never see ubiquiti equipment in a real datacenter.
Forgot about this--good point.
That's initially what I thought these were--would be a bit trippy if each of the cables was flashing like the activity light. But would also make a good case to make data centers surround a dance floor.Of course, the kid in me wants all LC fiber cables to "glow" when there is data going thru them.... yet we don't see that.
