 • StackPower shares available power across multiple switches in a stack.
• StackPower decouples a Power Supply from its physical location in the stack!
• Up to 4 switches can be part of StackPower and they are independent from
StackWise or StackWise Plus.
• StackPower Reduces the number of total Power Supply required for a Stack of
switches.
• Devices can be placed in standby when not in use.
• The power supplies can be turned on and off to maintain peak AC to DC
conversion efficiency in a stack.
