NEW Cisco Meraki MA-CBL-40G-50CM 0.5m 40G QSFP+ Stack Cable MS350 MS410 MS425

The Cisco Meraki MA-CBL-40G-50CM is a 0.5m (19.7-inch) 40 Gigabit QSFP+ passive copper stacking cable for Meraki switches. Meraki lists the 40G stacking cables for the MS210, MS225, MS250, MS350, MS410, and MS425 series. It connects the stack ports on two switches so they run as one logical switch in the Meraki Dashboard.

Stacking cables are run between adjacent switches and from the last switch back to the first to form a ring. A ring keeps the stack running if one cable or one switch fails. The cable is passive, with QSFP+ connectors molded on both ends, and needs no configuration.

Pick the length by the distance between switches. The 0.5m MA-CBL-40G-50CM suits switches mounted next to each other, the 1m MA-CBL-40G-1M spans a few rack units or closes the ring on a short stack, and the 3m MA-CBL-40G-3M reaches across a tall stack or into the next rack.

Compatible switches include the MS350-48FP-HW 48-port PoE+ switch and the MS425-16-HW 16x 10GB SFP+ aggregation switch. This listing is aimed at the MS350, MS410, and MS425 series.

This Cisco Meraki MA-CBL-40G-50CM stacking cable is new and covered by the NetworkTigers one-year warranty. The original packaging may have been opened to inspect the contents.
