Cables Types
Each type of stack port can be used with specific cable types.
When the stack mode is set to Native Stacking, you can use either a fiber or
copper cable as a stacking cable. If both cables (Fiber and Copper) are
connected, fiber is the preferred media. Dual connection can be used for
redundancy. When a media change occurs, for example you disconnect the fiber
stacking cable and the copper stacking cable becomes active, the system initiates
a topology change event.
The following describes the possible combinations of cables types and ports.
