Cisco Systems Stackwise CAB-STACK-50CM 50cm Stacking Cable

StackWise 50CM Stacking Cable for Cisco Catalyst 3750 Series Switches. Cisco StackWise technology provides an innovative new method for collectively utilizing the capabilities of a stack of switches. Individual switches intelligently join to create a single switching unit with a 32-Gbps switching stack interconnect. Configuration and routing information is shared by every switch in the stack, creating a single switching unit. The switches are united into a single logical unit using special stack interconnect cables (Cisco Stackwise CAB-STACK stacking cables) that create a bidirectional closed-loop path. This bidirectional path acts as a switch fabric for all the connected switches. Network topology and routing information is updated continuously through the stack interconnect. All stack members have full access to the stack interconnect bandwidth. The stack is managed as a single unit by a master switch, which is elected from one of the stack member switches.

• Cisco Stackwise CAB-STACK cables are special interconnect cables used to connect up to nine individual Cisco Catalyst 3750 switches into a single logical unit
• CAB-STACK-50CM Stacking Cables are 50cm centimeters (.5M) long and used for short connections less than 18" inches
• Stackwise cables support 16 Gbps speeds in both directions, yielding a traffic total of 32 Gbps bandwidth bidirectionally
• Innovative stacking technology is designed for Gigabit Ethernet bandwidth and allows switch additions, deletions and redeployment without service interruption
