For switch dimensions, StackWise cable part numbers, and additional stacking guidelines, see the
switch hardware installation guide on Cisco.com. For concepts and procedures to manage switch
stacks, see the switch software configuration guide and the stack compatibility guide also on

Stack Cabling Configurations
These illustrations show the recommended switch stack configurations with redundant StackWise
cabling connections for optimized stack bandwidth. For more configuration examples, see the
hardware installation guide on Cisco.com.
Vertical Stacking
In this example, the stack uses the 0.5-meter StackWise cable to make redundant connections.
In this example, the stacks use both the 0.5- and the 3-meter StackWise cables to make redundant
connections.
