Some of their switches have Etherlighting™.

Yes, if you have special Ubnt-brand cables. And still, I want this to be standard everywhere, not a niche thing from one manufacturer :-) (I know Facebook has some on their 100G switches, too.)
I'm pretty sure that the only thing special about the cables is the boot that transmits the light from the port's LED array fairly well.
