6.8.1 Introduction
The stack cables of the S9300 are the QSFP high-speed cables, which interconnect the interfaces
on the VSTSA cards. The S9306s or S9312s are connected through the stack cables to form a
logical switch, thus implementing packet forwarding.
NOTE
The two ends of a stack cable must be covered by the ESD-preventive caps.
The Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP) is a 4-channel small hot pluggable optical module.
