GS728TPPv2 stackable switches
I just purchased three GS728tppv2 switches and would like to stack them together using SPF ports. I am new into SPF and would like to know what kind of cables I need to purchase. A link would be appreciated.
Regards, Paul
Paul,
Technically you can connect these switches to extend the network - why ever these are not stackable switches. This would mean a sinlge stack management interface, the ability to run LAGs spread over multiple switches in a stack, ...
These switches come with SFP slots, these are however not specifically for stacking. You can plug SFP (Gigabit) modules with RJ45 copper (like the Netgear AGM734) and use a common RJ45 network cable or use some of the other RJ45 ports on the switch for the connectivity. Alternate, you plug SFP Gigabit fiber modules and use a matching fiber patch cable (e.g. either multimode modules like the Netgear AGM731F with a pair of multimode fiber with LC connectors - that's sufficient for several hundred meters and less expensive; or single mode modules like the Netgear AGM732F with a pair of singlemode fiber with LC connectors - more expensive, but that can be good for many kilometers).
