Repeater Expansion Port Cable
Standard 8-wire, Category 3, twisted-pair cable with straight-through wiring
connects the OUT repeater expansion port of one repeater to the IN repeater
expansion port of another repeater. Repeater expansion port cable has an RJ-45
plug at each end. Table 2-2 shows the correct wiring in a repeater expansion
port cable.

Stacks that contain only one repeater do not require a repeater expansion port
cable. However, to connect the repeater to another repeater located directly
above it, use the supplied 6-inch (15.24 cm) repeater expansion port cable.
If your repeater connections require a longer repeater expansion port cable, use
a cable that meets the above requirements. The cable can be from 6 inches
(15.24 cm) to 250 feet (76.2 m) long. The combined length of all repeater
expansion port cables in a stack should not exceed 250 feet.
NOTE:
Do not leave cables connected at only one end. Doing so reduces
performance.
