Does 2960X comes along with stack module and cable?

Hello friends,

Does the Cisco 2960X specifically WS-C2960X-48LPS-L comes with stack module and cable in the box or do we need to order it separately? It costs nearly $1,000 for one stack module which ships with 0.5m stack cable. The SKU for stack module which can be ordered for 2960 is C2960S-STACK=

Does Cisco ship stack module and cable with the switch or not?

Thanks,

Rushabh

The stack-module is optional and has to ordered additionally if you need it.

Thanks Karsten Iwen for your reply. I understand it's optional to order but I wanted to know if there is any stacking cable / module which comes built in? Is there module/cable shipped with the box or not?

[Karsten Iwen]

No, it's not. You have to order it if you need it.

Do you know if SFP-H10GB-ACU10M or SFP-H10GB-CU5M  will work with Catalyst WS-C2960X-48LPS-L or not for Stacking purposes? The FlexStack module is very expensive for Catalyst 2960 and was wondering if I can use the same SFP twinax cables for stacking purposes on Catalyst 2960. Will the configuration remain the same on the Catalyst or will it be different?

Thank you!

Stacking is only done with the stack-module. If you want a less expensive solution that can stack with 10Gig Twinax-cable, the SG500X is for you.
