StackPower Cabling Configurations

This section describes the recommended cabling configurations for a StackPower stack. There are two types
of StackPower cables.
The cable in the figure connects a switch to another switch in a power stack or with an XPS. StackPower
cables have color bands on the cable ends:
• The cable end with the green band can connect only to a switch.
• The cable end with the yellow band can connect to a switch or an XPS.
The cable is available in two lengths.
