In this example, the maximum number of eight (8) 3Com 5500Gs have been stacked together into
two groups of four (4) switches in the same data center, in typical 19" racks with 1U of spacing
between each switch for cable management purposes. This scenario is applicable in data centers
where the Administrator wants to house the switches in two separate, but adjacent racks for
redundancy purposes or to accommodate infrastructure cabling needs.
The total height in each cabinet is 8 RU @ 1.75" per RU = 14" H x 19W. To connect this stack, a
total of seven (6) .5 Meter, and two (2) 5 Meter stacking cables are used. With three (3) .5 Meter,
and one (1) 5 Meter cable being used in each cabinet. The 5 Meter stacking cables are used to
connect the switch stacks in each cabinet together .
