Avaya AL4518002-E6 4500-SSC HiStack Stacking Cable 1.5 Meters

Avaya AL4518002-E6 Stacking Cable

The Avaya AL4518002-E6 is a 1.5 metre HiStack cable built for Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 series devices. It provides a direct physical link between stackable units so they operate as a single logical switch. Network engineers use it to expand port density without consuming uplink ports. Buyers who need longer reach between racks or who require a different stacking protocol cannot use this cable.

Replaces shorter or damaged stack cables

This cable replaces a failed or too-short HiStack interconnect on an existing 4500 stack. The jump is worth it when the current cable limits rack placement or shows intermittent errors that break the stack. It restores the native stacking bandwidth the switch chassis expects. Installers who are migrating to a newer switch family with a different stacking interface will not benefit from this part.

Passive copper construction for sustained operation

The cable carries stacking traffic continuously without active electronics or external power. Signal integrity is maintained over the full 1.5 metre length under normal rack temperatures. No firmware or driver updates are required because the link is purely physical. Environments that demand active optical cables for electromagnetic immunity or distances beyond the specified length are not served by this product.
