Description

The CAB-STK-E-0.5M is a 0.5 m copper stacking cable for Cisco Catalyst 2960-X and 2960-XR Series switches fitted with FlexStack-Plus modules. It also connects to the copper port of the FlexStack-Extended hybrid module. It is designed for stacking adjacent switches in the same rack so they behave as a single logical switch.

This is the shortest of the three cable lengths in the range, with 1 m and 3 m versions also available. A FlexStack-Plus stack of 2960-X or 2960-XR switches delivers up to 80 Gbps of stack bandwidth, while a FlexStack-Extended stack runs at 40 Gbps. Stacks can include up to 8 switches, or 4 when mixed with Catalyst 2960-S or 2960-SF models. The cable is passive and needs no power.

Stacked switches share a unified data plane, unified configuration and a single management IP address, with support for cross-stack EtherChannel, SPAN and Flex Links. No licence is required for the cable itself, and the stack feature set follows the software image on the switches, LAN Base for 2960-X and IP Lite for 2960-XR.

Enquire with XS Network Tech for new or used pricing and availability.

Features

- Connects switch stacking modules so the stack behaves as a single logical switch
- Unified data plane, unified configuration and a single management IP address across the stack
- Supports cross-stack EtherChannel, SPAN and Flex Links
- FlexStack-Plus is backward compatible with FlexStack, so 2960-X LAN Base can stack with 2960-S/SF LAN Base
- Short 0.5 m length suits adjacent-switch stacking in the same rack
- Passive copper design with no power requirement

FAQs

Q: Which switches does this stacking cable work with?
A: It is used with Catalyst 2960-X and 2960-XR Series switches fitted with a FlexStack-Plus module (C2960X-STACK). It also connects to the copper port of the FlexStack-Extended hybrid module (C2960X-HYBRID-STK).

Q: Does the cable need a licence?
A: No. The cable itself needs no licence. The stack feature set depends on the switch software image, LAN Base for 2960-X and IP Lite for 2960-XR.

Q: How much stack bandwidth does it provide?
A: A FlexStack-Plus stack of 2960-X or 2960-XR switches provides up to 80 Gbps. A FlexStack-Extended stack provides 40 Gbps.

Q: How many switches can be stacked with this cable?
A: Up to 8 switches can be stacked. The limit is 4 when 2960-X switches are mixed with 2960-S or 2960-SF models.

Q: How does the 0.5 m cable differ from the other lengths?
A: CAB-STK-E-1M and CAB-STK-E-3M are the 1 m and 3 m versions of the same cable. The 0.5 m length suits adjacent switches in the same rack, while longer runs need the longer cables or SFP+ fibre with FlexStack-Extended.
