Purpose-built Stacking Link

This Cisco stacking cable connects compatible switches in a single logical unit, simplifying management for network administrators who need unified control. The 1.64 ft length suits adjacent rack-mounted devices in dense cabinets. It is not for builders who need longer reach between separated racks.

Build Integration

The cable plugs directly into the designated stacking ports on supported Cisco switches, requiring no additional transceivers or configuration hardware. It frees up standard Ethernet ports for uplinks or access connections while the stack handles internal traffic. Buyers who need fibre-based stacking cannot use this copper assembly.

Thermals and Power

Passive copper construction draws no power and adds no heat to the rack environment. Operation is silent because there are no active components or fans. The cable simply carries signalling between stack members without affecting the thermal budget of the attached switches.
