Page 11: Cabling Considerations
Cabling Considerations These illustrations show the recommended Catalyst 3750 switch stack configurations with redundant StackWise cabling connections for optimized stack bandwidth. For more configuration examples, see the Catalyst 3750 Switch Hardware Installation Guide on Cisco.com. Vertical Stacking In this example, the stack uses the 0.5-meter StackWise cable to make redundant connections.
Page 12: Side-By-Side Stacking
Side-By-Side Stacking In this example, eight switches are stacked side-by-side with redundant connections by using 0.5- and 3-meter StackWise cables. In this example, nine switches are stacked side-by-side with redundant connections by using 0.5- and 3-meter StackWise cables. Warning To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable.
