Stack Cabling Configurations
Figure 2-3
and
Figure 2-4
are examples of recommended configurations when the switches are rack- or
wall-mounted side-by-side. Use the 1-meter and the 3-meter StackWise cables to connect the switches.
These configuration provide redundant connections.

Stack Bandwidth and Partitioning Examples
This section provides examples of stack bandwidth and possible stack partitioning.
Figure 2-5
shows an example of a stack of Catalyst 3750-E switches that provides full bandwidth and
redundant StackWise cable connections.
Figure 2-5
Example of a Stack with Full Bandwidth Connections
Figure 2-6
shows an example of a stack of Catalyst 3750-E switches with incomplete StackWise cabling
connections. This stack provides only half bandwidth and does not have redundant connections.
