StackPower Connector (Catalyst 3750-X Switches)
The Catalyst 3750-X switches have a StackPower connector for use with Cisco StackPower cables to
configure a switch power stack that includes up to four switches. By adding an XPS 2200 expandable
power system, you can configure a power stack that comprises up to nine switches. A switch power stack
can be configured in redundant or power-sharing mode.
You can order these StackPower cables from your Cisco sales representative:
•
CAB-SPWR-30CM (0.3-meter cable)
•
CAB-SPWR-150CM (1.5-meter cable)
For details about connecting StackPower cables and StackPower guidelines, see the
“Planning a
StackPower Stack (Catalyst 3750-X Switches)” section on page 2-9

Management Ports
Ethernet Management Port
You can connect the switch to a host such as a Windows workstation or a terminal server through the
10/100 Ethernet management port or one of the console ports (see
Figure 1-6
and
Figure 1-7
). The
10/100 Ethernet management port connection uses a RJ-45 crossover or straight-through cable. The
RJ-45 console port connection uses the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable. The USB console port
uses a USB type-A-to-USB 5-pin mini-Type B cable.
