This cable enables direct interconnection between multiple NetVanta 1600 units for stack formation, allowing consolidated management and simplified cabling in enterprise edge and branch office deployments. The short 0.5M length accommodates compact rack installations where switches are mounted in close proximity. Compatible with NetVanta 1600 XIM-capable models, the stacking cable supports full-rate inter-chassis communication for seamless traffic forwarding across stacked units. Typical applications include small-to-medium business networks, branch offices, and carrier edge environments requiring cost-effective Ethernet switching with flexible scaling.
