Cisco STACK‑T1‑3M= – 3 Meter StackWise‑480 Stacking Cable Overview
The Cisco STACK‑T1‑3M= is a 3 m (approximately 9.84 ft) Type‑1 stacking cable designed for use with Cisco switches that support StackWise‑480 technology. This cable connects multiple switches (such as Catalyst 3850 and compatible Catalyst 9300 series models) into a single stack, allowing them to operate as one logical unit with simplified management and better performance.
StackWise stacking ensures that all switches in a stack share a common control plane, distribute traffic efficiently, and provide redundancy in case of switch failures. The longer 3 m length is useful when stacking switches that cannot be positioned directly side‑by‑side in a rack.
Key Features
- StackWise‑480 Technology: Supports up to 480 Gbps stacking bandwidth for fast and efficient inter‑switch communication.
- 3 Meter Cable Length: Provides flexibility in rack layouts where switches are spaced apart.
- StackWise‑480 Connectors (Both Ends): Proprietary Cisco stacking connectors for reliable data transfer.
- Multi‑Switch Support: Can stack several switches together (StackWise can support up to 9 switches depending on models).
- Hot‑Swappable: Can be added or replaced without powering down the stack (in many deployments).
- Durable Build: Copper conductor and robust construction designed for enterprise networking environments.
- Flexible Rack Use: Longer cable length helps connect switches that are not adjacent.
How to Install Cisco STACK‑T1‑3M= Cable
- Power Off or Standby: Although stacking cables are often hot‑pluggable, powering down switches before installation reduces risk
- Locate Stack Ports: On the back of each switch, find the StackWise ports (two per switch)
- Connect Cable Ends: Insert one end of the STACK‑T1‑3M= cable into the stack port of the first switch, and the other end into the stack port of the adjacent switch.
- Form Stack Topology: Continue connecting additional switches if needed, forming the stack.
- Power On and Verify: Power up switches and use CLI commands such as: show switch (to confirm correct stack formation (active and standby roles).
- Check Stack Status: Ensure the stack ports are recognized and that all switches appear as members in the stack.
Compatibility
The Cisco STACK‑T1‑3M= cable is intended for Cisco switches supporting StackWise‑480 stacking:
Typical Compatible Models
- Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series (e.g., WS‑C3850‑24P; WS‑C3850‑48P; WS‑C3850‑24T; etc.)
- Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series (models with StackWise‑480 support)
Note:
This cable is not for devices that use different stacking protocols or older technologies that don’t support StackWise‑480. Always ensure your model supports StackWise before purchasing.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the Cisco STACK‑T1‑3M= cable used for?
It is a stacking cable used to link multiple Cisco Catalyst switches into a StackWise‑480 stack, allowing them to function as a single logical switch.
2. What is the length of this cable?
The cable is 3 meters (approximately 9.84 ft) long, making it ideal for switches spaced apart in a rack.
3. Which switches support STACK‑T1‑3M=?
It is designed for Cisco Catalyst 3850 series and many Catalyst 9300 series switches that support StackWise‑480.
4. Does stacking improve performance?
Yes — StackWise‑480 allows high‑speed data exchange between switches and simplifies management, improving overall network performance.
5. How many switches can be stacked?
With Cisco StackWise‑480 technology, up to nine switches can typically be stacked together depending on the hardware configuration.
6. Is the cable hot‑pluggable?
Generally, stacking cables like this can be connected or removed without powering down in many setups, but it’s safer to power down before installation.
7. Does the cable carry data or power?
This stacking cable primarily carries data and control signals between switches as part of StackWise; it does not carry power supplies like power stacking cables.
