Cisco C3650-STACK-KIT Catalyst 3650 Stack Module Kit Enterprise Cisco Catalyst 3650 Stack Module Kit for StackWise-160 High-Availability Switching The Cisco C3650-STACK-KIT Catalyst 3650 StackWise-160 Stack Module Kit is designed to enable high-speed stacking on compatible Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series switches. Supporting 160 Gbps of StackWise-160 bandwidth, the kit allows multiple switches to operate as a single logical switching system for simplified management, scalable capacity, and improved network resiliency. It includes the required stack adapters and a 0.5-meter stacking cable for compatible Catalyst 3650 configurations. Integrated with Cisco IOS XE, StackWise-160 provides centralized configuration, stack-level management, and high availability for Layer 2 and Layer 3 enterprise networks. The stacking architecture supports Stateful Switchover (SSO) and failover capabilities, helping maintain network availability while simplifying expansion across campus and branch access environments. The Cisco C3650-STACK-KIT is an ideal solution for enterprise campus networks, branch offices, high-availability access layers, education, healthcare, government, and commercial LAN infrastructure. By combining compatible Catalyst 3650 switches into a unified stack, it provides a scalable and efficient approach to network expansion without the complexity of managing multiple standalone switches.
