High-Speed Stack Connections
The switches have rear‐panel connectors for high‐speed connections in a stack
configuration. The high‐speed stacking cables used for the connections are optional items
and must be ordered separately. Stacking cables are available in three lengths: 1 foot,
1 meter, and 5 meters. See "Connecting High‐Speed Stacking Cables" on page 3‐11 for
details on these cables.
Redundant Power Supply Capability
The switch has power supply redundancy capability when connected to an optional
SecureStack PoE‐compliant external redundant power supply (C2RPS‐POE). If the
internal power supply fails, the RPS assumes the entire load of the switch without
interrupting network traffic. The internal power supply and RPS each have their own AC
power connection, which enables the connection of each power supply to a different AC
power circuit for additional AC power source redundancy.
