Know before you buy
This cable allows you to connect multiple compatible HPE Aruba switches so they function as a single, unified unit. By stacking them, you can manage the entire group through one interface, which simplifies network administration and expands your total port capacity.
This cable is designed specifically for the HPE Aruba 2920 series (24G, 24G-PoE+, 48G, 48G-PoE+) and the 2930M 24 switch. It is not a universal cable, so please verify your switch model before purchasing.
The cable is 1.6 feet long. This length is optimized for connecting switches located within the same rack or cabinet, keeping your cabling clean and minimizing signal interference.
Once physically connected, the switches will recognize the stacking link, but you will need to configure the stacking parameters within your switch's management software to enable the unified management features.
Yes, it is built with sturdy, high-quality materials designed for the rigors of enterprise networking. It is intended for reliable, long-term use in professional IT environments.
