Cisco STACK‑T2‑3M – 3 Meter StackWise‑160 Stacking Cable – Full Description
The Cisco STACK‑T2‑3M is a 3 meter (≈9.84 ft) StackWise‑160 stacking cable designed to physically connect multiple Cisco switches into a unified stack. With this cable, Cisco Catalyst switches behave as a single logical switch with shared management, simplified configuration, and enhanced redundancy — ideal for enterprise network environments, data centers, or campus networks.
This cable uses proprietary Cisco StackWise‑160 connectors and copper conductors to carry high‑speed stack traffic between switches. The longer 3 m length provides flexibility in rack and cabinet layouts.
Key Features
- 3 Meter Cable Length – Suitable when switches are not mounted immediately adjacent.
- StackWise‑160 Compatible – Designed for Cisco switches supporting StackWise‑160 stacking.
- Unified Switch Management – Connected switches operate as one logical device with a single control plane.
- High‑Speed Stack Transport – Supports up to 160 Gbps stack bandwidth (StackWise‑160).
- Durable & Reliable – Robust construction for long‑term deployment in enterprise networks.
- Hot‑Swappable – Can be connected or replaced in many setups without powering down the stack.
- Multi‑Switch Support – Enables stacking of up to 9 switches depending on the platform.
Installation Steps – Cisco STACK-T2-3M 3m StackWise Cable
Power Off Switches:
- Ensure all switches in the stack are completely powered down before connecting the cable.
Connect StackWise Ports:
- Take one end of the 3m StackWise cable and plug it into the StackWise port of the first switch.
- Connect the other end to the StackWise port of the next switch in the stack.
Daisy-Chain Additional Switches (if any):
- If stacking more than two switches, continue connecting each switch using StackWise ports in a ring or chain configuration as recommended by Cisco.
Secure the Cable:
- Make sure the cable is properly seated and not strained to prevent disconnection or damage.
Power On Switches:
- Turn on all switches in the stack. They will detect each other and form a single logical stack.
Verify Stack Formation:
- Use the switch CLI command show switch to check the stack status and ensure all switches are properly recognized.
Compatibility
The Cisco STACK‑T2‑3M cable is engineered for Cisco switches that support StackWise‑160 technology, particularly the Catalyst 3650 Series:
- Cisco Catalyst 3650‑24PD‑E, 3650‑24PS‑L, 3650‑48TS‑S, and many other 3650 models.
Note:
The cable requires that the switches have StackWise adapters installed or pre‑installed for stacking functionality.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the Cisco STACK‑T2‑3M cable used for?
It’s used to connect multiple Cisco switches into a StackWise stack, enabling unified switch management and high‑speed communication between switches.
