Connecting Stacking Cables

Connecting a SummitStack 128G Cable

SummitStack 128G cables are used to connect the 128-Gbps stacking ports on the VIM1-SummitStack256
and VIM1-SummitStack512 modules in Summit X650 series switches.
Because of the weight of the SummitStack 128G cable, Extreme Networks strongly recommends the use
of cable management hardware to support the cables and provide strain relief at the connectors.
Figure 114 and Figure 115 show representative types of cable management hardware. Your particular
rack configuration may require other cable management solutions.
