2.3.1 Connecting Stacking cable
Before attempting to connect stacking ports, verify that you have the required stack cables. The following cables are used to
connect stacked switches:
• CB-STX50: 50cm, Short stack cable –used to connect adjacent SGSW switches.
• CB-STX200: 200cm, Long / Redundant stack cable – used to connect the top and bottom SGSW switches of a stack.
There are two high-performance HDMI-like Stack ports on the rear panel for proprietary management stack. Only attached
PLANET CB-STX50 and CB-STX200 cross-overed HDMI cable can be used.
STEP-1: Plug one end of the cable in the “STX1 / Cascade Down” port and the other end to the ”STX2 / Cascade UP” port of
next device.
STEP-2: Repeat the step for every device in the stack cluster, then ending at last switch.

STEP-3: If you wish to implement stack redundancy, use the long stack cable –CB-STX200 to connect the stack port marked
“STX1 / Cascade Down” on the bottom switch to the port marked “STX2 / Cascade Up” on the top switch of the stack.
The stack port is for management and data packets to be transmitted between other SGSW stackable
switches, the stack ports can’t be configured with Layer 2 features via management interface.
STEP-4: Power up the stack switches.
2.3.2 Management Stacking
The stack operation of the SGSW Managed Switch supports Plug and Play Stacking connection and auto stack configuration.
