Cisco STACK‑T2‑3M – Type 2 Stacking Cable (3 Meter) Overview
The Cisco STACK‑T2‑3M (often sold as STACK‑T2‑3M=) is a 3 meter (about 9.84 ft) Type‑2 stacking cable designed for use with Cisco switches that support StackWise‑160 stacking technology. It physically connects multiple switches to create a stacked switch group, allowing them to operate as a single logical switch with shared management, higher redundancy, and efficient inter‑switch communications.
This cable uses Cisco proprietary StackWise connectors at both ends and is commonly used in enterprise networking environments, data centers, and network closets where switches cannot be mounted directly side‑by‑side or require longer cable runs between them.
✅ Key Features
- 3 Meter Length — Provides flexible stacking distances when switches are not adjacent.
- StackWise‑160 Compatible — Supports stacking up to 160 Gbps of stack throughput for fast communication between switches.
- Multi‑Switch Stacking — Enables up to nine switches to be stacked depending on supported models.
- Single Logical Management — Switches in a stack share a single control plane and are managed as one device.
- Durable Construction — Robust and flexible cable designed to withstand typical rack installation conditions.
- Hot‑Swappable — Can be installed or replaced without powering down switches in most deployments.
How to Install Cisco STACK‑T2‑3M Cable
Prepare Switches
- Although stacking cables are often hot‑swappable, working with switches in maintenance mode or powered‑off state is recommended for safety.
Locate Stack Ports
- On the back of Cisco Catalyst switches that support StackWise‑160, find the stack ports (usually marked and often the same connector on each switch).
Connect Cable Ends
- Plug one end of the STACK‑T2‑3M into the stack port of the first switch.
- Plug the other end into the stack port of the adjacent switch.
Form Stack Topology
- If more switches are present, link them in an appropriate stack topology.
Power On and Verify
- Power on switches (if off).
- Use commands like: show switch
to verify stack status and stack member roles.
Compatibility
The Cisco STACK‑T2‑3M is designed for switches that support Cisco’s StackWise‑160 stacking technology — particularly the Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series.
Typical Compatible Models
- Cisco Catalyst 3650‑24PD‑E, 3650‑24PS‑L, 3650‑48TS‑E, and similar 3650 models.
- Cisco Catalyst 3650‑48FQ‑S, 3650‑24TD‑L, 3650‑48PD‑S, and other 3650 series switches with StackWise modules installed.
Note:
Ensure your specific switch model supports StackWise‑160 and has stack ports installed or enabled. Some switches require additional stack adapter modules for stacking.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is Cisco STACK‑T2‑3M used for?
It’s used to physically connect multiple Cisco Catalyst switches into a stack, enabling them to share a control plane and function as a single managed unit.
2. What is the cable length?
3 meters — roughly 9.84 feet, providing flexibility for switch placement.
3. What stacking technology does it support?
Cisco StackWise‑160 — allowing high‑speed stacking communication (up to 160 Gbps) between switches.
4. Which switches support this cable?
Mainly Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series switches with StackWise‑160 stack support.
5. Does this cable carry power?
No — it carries stacking data/control signals only. Power sharing requires separate StackPower cables.
6. Can I stack more than two switches?
Yes — depending on model and configuration, StackWise can support up to 9 switches in a stack.
7. Can this cable be hot‑swapped?
Yes — in many cases you can install or replace StackWise cables without shutting down the stack.
