What Cables Can Be Used to Set Up a Stack
Stack setup just requires ordinary service cables instead of dedicated stack cables.
- SIP ports on MPUs of the CE12800&12800E can be connected using network cables or LC fibers. When LC fibers are used, the SIP ports must have GE optical modules installed.
- Service ports that are optical ports can be connected using high-speed cables, AOC cables, or optical modules+fibers. Service ports that are electrical ports can be connected using Category 6, Category 6A, or Category 7 cables.
When setting up a stack, ensure that optical modules and cables on ports used for stack connections are properly installed and these ports are Up.
NOTE: - 10GE optical ports can be used for stack connections only when they have 10GE optical modules installed. If the GE optical or copper modules are installed on 10GE optical ports, the ports cannot be used to set up a stack.
- For CE8800&7800&6800&5800 series switches, in V100R006C00, 40GE optical modules of the QSFP-40G-SR-BD model cannot be used to set up a stack. This limitation does not apply to V200R001C00 and later versions.
