Connect the Stacking Cable to the Transceiver Ports
To connect the 0.5-meter Stacking Cable to the trans-
ceiver:
1.
Press the cable connector into the transceiver
jack so that the connector snaps securely into
place.
2.
Repeat for the Stacking Transceiver in the other
switch at the other end of the cable.
Note:
If you need a longer stacking connection, a
10-meter cable has also been tested and verified.
The cable is AMP part number 1-1324640-0.
As shown in the next illustration, either or both of the transceiver slots in a
Gigabit Stacking Module or switch can be used for a stacking connection.
The switches at the top and bottom of the stack will have an unused
transceiver slot that can be used for connections to other devices.
Stacking connections between
switches.
Note
that any transceiver slot can
be used for a stacking connection.
Each stacking connection requires
one Gigabit Stacking Kit
Gigabit-LX or -SX connection
to campus backbone, other
switches in a remote
location, or a local server
