Product Features
Technical Overview
This stacking cable is built on InfiniBand architecture, a technology recognized for high-throughput and low-latency data transfer, making it suitable for demanding network interconnect scenarios. The cable maintains signal integrity across its 3.3-foot length, ensuring stable performance in rack-mounted or closely positioned device deployments.
The CX4 network connector interface offers a secure, locking connection that prevents accidental disconnection in operational environments. With identical connectors on both ends, the cable provides a symmetrical connection path, simplifying inventory and deployment planning for network administrators.
Key Product Advantages
The Axiom Type 2 Stacking Cable provides several distinct advantages for network infrastructure deployment. Its dedicated stacking design creates a high-bandwidth backplane connection between devices, enabling features like unified management, simplified configuration, and improved redundancy.
High-Performance Interconnect
InfiniBand technology delivers the throughput and low latency needed for stacking connections, ensuring minimal communication delay between linked devices.
- Optimized for stacking applications
- Maintains signal integrity over 3.3 ft distance
Reliable Physical Connection
CX4 network connectors provide a secure, locking interface that maintains connection stability even in environments with vibration or cable movement.
- Identical connectors on both ends
- Prevents accidental disconnection
Deployment / Use Cases
This stacking cable is primarily deployed in Cisco network environments where multiple switches or network devices need to be physically connected to operate as a single logical unit. The 3.3-foot length makes it ideal for rack-mounted configurations where devices are positioned in adjacent slots or within the same enclosure.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting stackable switches in data centers, enterprise network closets, or server rooms. The cable enables features like single IP address management, simplified firmware updates, and distributed forwarding across the stacked devices. It's particularly valuable in environments requiring high availability, as stacking allows for redundancy and failover capabilities between connected units.

FAQ
What is the primary purpose of this stacking cable?
This Axiom Type 2 Stacking Cable is designed specifically for connecting compatible Cisco network devices to form a stack. It creates a high-bandwidth physical link that allows multiple switches or network units to operate as a single logical device, enabling unified management, simplified configuration, and improved redundancy features.
What type of connectors does this cable use?
The cable features CX4 network connectors on both ends. Each end has exactly one CX4 connector, providing a symmetrical connection path. CX4 connectors offer a secure, locking interface that prevents accidental disconnection in operational environments, making them suitable for critical network infrastructure connections.
How long is this stacking cable?
The cable measures 3.3 feet, which is equivalent to 1 meter. This length is ideal for connecting devices positioned in adjacent rack slots or within the same enclosure, minimizing cable clutter while providing sufficient reach for typical stacking configurations in data centers or network closets.
What technology does this cable use for data transfer?
This cable utilizes InfiniBand technology, which is designed for high-throughput, low-latency data transfer. InfiniBand is particularly well-suited for stacking applications where minimal communication delay between connected devices is essential for maintaining synchronized operation and efficient packet forwarding.
