Cisco STACK-T1-1M – StackWise-480 1 Meter Type 1 Stacking Cable for Catalyst Switches

Cisco STACK-T1-1M is a 1-meter StackWise-480 Stacking Cable designed for Catalyst 3850 and compatible 9300 Switches, enabling high-speed Stacking with simplified management and scalability. The part number is the reliable way to identify it, because accessories of this kind are often visually identical across generations that are not interchangeable.

Matching the stack. Stacking cables are specific to the stacking technology and to a length. A cable from one generation will physically fit a later switch and not work, so match the technology name as well as the connector. Length matters more than it looks: stacks are wired as a ring, and the cable from the top switch back to the bottom one has to reach.

The Cisco STACK-T1-1M is a 1-meter StackWise-480 Type 1 stacking cable designed to interconnect multiple Cisco switches into a single logical unit. It is primarily used with Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series switches and is also compatible with select Catalyst 9300 Series models that support StackWise technology.

This high-performance copper cable enables StackWise-480 architecture, delivering up to 480 Gbps stack bandwidth, allowing multiple switches to operate as a single system with unified management. The stack behaves as one logical switch with a single IP address, simplifying configuration, monitoring, and scaling of enterprise networks.

The cable features StackWise connectors on both ends and is optimized for high-speed, low-latency communication between stack members. It supports hot-swap and dynamic stack expansion, enabling administrators to add or remove switches without interrupting network operations.

With a length of 1 meter (3.3 ft), it is ideal for connecting switches within the same rack or adjacent racks. The STACK-T1-1M is commonly used in enterprise campus networks, data centers, and access layer deployments where scalability and redundancy are essential.
