CISCO STACK-T1-3M – 3M Type 1 Stacking Cable

Detailed Description:

The CISCO STACK-T1-3M is a 3-meter Type 1 Stacking Cable, specifically designed for connecting Cisco switches to form a stack configuration, thereby allowing multiple devices to operate as though they were a single switch. This longer stacking cable is particularly suited for situations where switches are not directly adjacent to each other but are within the same vicinity, such as in larger rack configurations or across multiple racks in close proximity. Utilizing a stacking cable like the STACK-T1-3M enhances the network’s scalability by facilitating seamless integration of additional switches, thereby expanding the network’s capacity without complicating its management. The advantages of stacking include simplified management, since the entire stack is managed as a single entity, improved redundancy and fault tolerance, as the stack can automatically adjust to hardware failures, and enhanced bandwidth, as stacked switches increase the total available backplane bandwidth. Manufactured to meet Cisco’s stringent quality standards, the STACK-T1-3M ensures reliable performance and compatibility with Cisco switches enabled for stacking, making it an essential tool for network administrators looking to optimize their network’s performance and manageability.
