Step 3 Insert the cable into the StackWise Plus port on the front panel of the switch. Insert the other
end of the cable into the connector of the other switch.
Always use a Cisco-approved StackWise Plus cable to connect the switches.
Figure 11 Inserting the StackWise Plus Cables
When you remove the StackWise Plus cables from the connectors, replace the dust covers to protect
them from dust.
Caution Removing and installing the StackWise Plus cable can shorten its useful life. Do not
remove and insert the cable more often than is absolutely necessary.
8 Connecting to the Switch Module Ports
This section describes how to connect to the fixed switch module ports and to the 10-Gigabit Ethernet
module slots.
Connect to 10/100/1000 Ports
The 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports use standard RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum
cable length is 328 feet (100 meters). The 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires Category 5,
Category 5e, or Category 6 UTP cable. The 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 or Category 4 cable.
