Frequently Asked Questions

Cisco Catalyst 3650 StackWise-160 50CM Type 2 Stacking Cable (STACK-T2-50CM)
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)



What Cisco switches are compatible with STACK-T2-50CM?
  • It works with Cisco Catalyst 3650 and 3850 Series switches that support StackWise-160 Type 2 architecture.
  • What is StackWise-160?
  • StackWise-160 is Cisco’s stacking technology offering up to 160 Gbps of bandwidth between stacked switches.
  • Can I use this cable with older StackWise switches?
  • No, it is designed for Type 2 (StackWise-160) and is not backward compatible with older StackWise connectors.
  • How many switches can I stack using this cable?
  • Up to 9 switches can be stacked in a single StackWise configuration, though total cable requirements depend on the topology.
  • Is the cable hot-swappable?
  • Yes, you can replace or insert the cable without powering down the switch stack.
  • What is the length of the cable?
  • This model is 50 centimeters (approximately 19.7 inches), suitable for closely stacked switches.
  • Does this cable support both data and control signals?
  • Yes, it facilitates full-duplex data and control plane communication between switches.
  • What is the benefit of stacking switches?
  • It simplifies management, enhances failover capability, and allows for unified performance across all units.
  • Is software configuration required to use the cable?
  • No, the stacking cable is plug-and-play—once connected, switches automatically detect and join the stack.
  • Is this an official Cisco part?
  • Yes, the STACK-T2-50CM is an official Cisco OEM accessory for supported models.
  • Can I mix cable lengths in the same stack?
  • Yes, as long as they are StackWise-160 Type 2 cables, different lengths can be used in the same stack.
  • How does this enhance network uptime?
  • StackWise allows traffic to reroute automatically if a link or switch fails, minimizing service disruption.
  • Can I use this in a data center environment?
  • Absolutely, it's built to perform in high-availability enterprise and data center networks.
  • Is this cable shielded for EMI protection?
  • Yes, Cisco stacking cables are designed to resist electromagnetic interference (EMI).
  • How should I install the cable?
  • Simply plug one end into each switch’s stack port until it clicks—no tools needed.
  • Is the 50CM length long enough for most racks?
  • Yes, it's optimal for vertically stacked switches within the same rack or chassis.
  • Can this stacking cable be used horizontally across racks?
  • For cross-rack connections, a longer stacking cable is recommended.
