Cisco® multi-head cables provide flexibility and pleasing aesthetics in meeting rooms, and hassle-free content sharing for the user. The cables can connect a wide range of laptops to video-conferencing systems without the hassle of using multiple dongles. They clean up the meeting space with a sleek single-cable design while ensuring the quality of the signal over a 29.5-foot range. And users donât need to worry about bringing the right dongles to the meetings.
The multi-head cables support audio and video from a laptop to Cisco video-conferencing systems via HDMI.
Cisco pays special attention to its network accessories which are the foundation stone of the whole network system. Cisco cables, adapters and other accessories will never let you down and you can always rely on the superior quality and outstanding reliability. Cisco has a wide range of network cables that will fit even the most extraordinary demands.
Crossover and straight-through cables are used in order to connect switch ports or interfaces to network devices. Consult this table in order to see when to use each of these cable types. Find the device in the left-hand column and match it up with another device in the top row. The intersection of these two devices gives you the cable type used to connect them together.

Cisco StackWise-480 technology is built on the highly successful industry-leading StackWise® technology, which is a premium stacking architecture. StackWise-480 has a stack bandwidth of 480 Gbps. StackWise-480 uses Cisco IOS Software SSO for providing resiliency within the stack. The stack behaves as a single switching unit that is managed by an "active" switch elected by the member switches. The active switch automatically elects a standby switch within the stack. The active switch creates and updates all the switching/routing/wireless information and constantly synchronizes that information with the standby switch. If the active switch fails, the standby switch assumes the role of the active switch and continues to the keep the stack operational. Access points continue to remain connected during an active-to-standby switchover. A working stack can accept new members or delete old ones without service interruption. StackWise-480 creates a highly resilient single unified system of up to four switches, providing simplified management using a single IP address, single Telnet session, single CLI, auto-version checking, auto-upgrading, auto-configuration, and more. StackWise-480 also enables local switching in Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switches.
The 40-Gigabit QSFP+ transceiver module is a hot-swappable, parallel fiber-optical module with four independent optical transmit and receive channels. These channels can terminate in another 40-Gigabit QSFP+ transceiver, or the channels can be broken out to four separate 10-Gigabit SFP+ transceivers. The QSFP+ transceiver module connects the electrical circuitry of the system with either a copper or an optical external network. The transceiver is used primarily in short reach applications in switches, routers, and data center equipment where it provides higher density than SFP+ modules.
The Cisco StackPower cables are thick but flexible, and they carry power as well as a data signal to provide a communications channel among the switches in the power stack. StackPower and XPS cables are keyed and have colored bands on the ends to help you understand what cable plugs into what switch or XPS.A StackPower cable has colors bands on the cable ends, green on one end and yellow on the other end. This cable can be used between Catalyst 3750-X switches and an XPS. Note that the connector with the blue band can only connect into a Catalyst 3750-X switch while the connector with the yellow band can connect to a Catalyst 3750-X or an XPS.An XPS cable has a color band on the cable ends as well, red on one end and yellow on the other end. This cable can only be used to connect Catalyst 3750-X or 3560-X switch to an XPS. Note that the connector with the red band can only connect to an XPS while the connector with the green and blue band can connect to Catalyst 3750-X or 3560-X switch.The Cisco Catalyst 3750-X Series Switches come with four power supply options and any of them can be used on any switch in a stack and in any combination.
