Axiom CAB-STACK-5M-AX Stackwise Stacking Cable
Overview
The Axiom CAB-STACK-5M-AX is a 5-meter stacking cable designed to provide high-speed, reliable inter-switch connectivity. This cable is essential for creating a unified, high-performance network fabric by linking multiple compatible switches together, effectively acting as a single logical device. It's engineered for environments requiring aggregated bandwidth for server access, storage, or high-density uplink aggregation, ensuring data flows efficiently between stacked units. The 5-meter length offers flexibility in rack layouts, allowing switches to be positioned for optimal airflow and accessibility while maintaining a direct, high-bandwidth link. This specific cable is intended for use with Cisco-compatible stacking technologies, ensuring seamless integration into existing network infrastructure.
Compatibility
This 5-meter stacking cable is compatible with network switches utilizing Cisco Stackwise technology or equivalent proprietary stacking implementations that accept this cable type. It is designed to connect switches within the same product family or series that support stacking, enabling them to function as a single, resilient switch. Verify your switch's documentation for specific stacking port compatibility and maximum cable length support. This cable is not a universal solution and requires compatible stacking ports on both connecting switches.
Installation Notes
Ensure the network switches are powered off before connecting or disconnecting stacking cables to prevent potential hardware damage or network disruption. The CAB-STACK-5M-AX features specific connectors that must be firmly seated in the designated stacking ports on each switch. Once connected, the switches must be configured to recognize and operate as a stack. Refer to the switch manufacturer's documentation for detailed configuration steps and best practices regarding stacking cable installation and management.
