Cisco STACK-T1-3M 3m Stacking Cable

Network downtime can cripple your business, especially when a single switch fails and your devices lose connectivity. The Cisco STACK-T1-3M 3m Stacking Cable links Cisco Catalyst switches together, creating a single, resilient unit that keeps traffic flowing even if one switch goes down. By using this stacking cable you gain a unified management point and uninterrupted service for your whole network.

Usages of a 3 m Stacking Cable

The 3 m length fits neatly into rack-mounted environments, allowing you to connect adjacent switches in a tight stack. It is ideal for data centres, office back-bones and any scenario where you need to expand capacity without adding separate management interfaces. Simply plug the T1 connectors into each switch and the stack operates as one device.

Benefits of Cisco Stacking Cable

• Simplified management: One IP address and one CLI control all stacked switches, reducing admin effort.
• High availability: Automatic active-standby switching ensures continuous operation if a switch fails.
• Seamless scaling: Add or remove switches without service interruption, keeping your network flexible.
• Unified bandwidth: StackWise-480 delivers up to 480 Gbps of internal bandwidth for fast data flow.
• Consistent configuration: All routing and switching information is synchronised across the stack.
