Hello

I've ordered a cisco WS-C3850-24T-S switch and after our reseller delivered device to us i noticed there is no Stackwise and Stackpower cables. could you help to make sure if this cables are included in the box or should i order them separately?

Thanks.

 Had the box been opened and rer-sealed?? You should have both, a 50cm stackwise cable and standard stackpower cable.

There will be a paper print out titlled 'getting started guide' inside the box which will detail the box contents.

cheers,

Seb

I did, and just checked the datasheet. For the WS-C3850-24T-S part number, it doesn't explicitly say that stackpower cables need to be ordered, compared for example to the WS-C3850-48T-L

WS-C3850-48T-L

Stackable 48 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, with 350WAC power supply
1 RU, LAN Base feature set (StackPower cables need to be purchased separately)

vs

WS-C3850-24T-S

Stackable 24 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, with 350WAC power supply
1 RU, IP Base feature set

In all my years of ordering these switches, these cables have always been in the box. (maybe someone in procurment is doing their job!..?)
