Connect a SummitStack Cable to a Stacking Port

SummitStack cables are used to connect 20-Gbps SummitStack ports on the X460-G2 switch with the SummitStack plug-in module.

SummitStack cables are used to connect 20-Gbps SummitStack ports on the following switches:

  • Summit X250e, X440, X450, X450a, and X450e series switches with integrated SummitStack ports
