Product Name: Cisco C2960S FlexStack Stacking Module

KEY FEATURES:

Stacking Interface: 2 × stacking ports (FlexStack) designed for the Catalyst 2960‑S (and 2960‑SF) switches

Stacking Technology: Enables stacking of up to 4 switches (or up to 8 in some cases) under a single management domain

Hot‑Swappable: Yes — module can be inserted/removed without powering down the switch

Allows unified management: All stacked switches behave as a single logical switch (single IP, unified configuration, cross‑stack features like EtherChannel)

PERFORMANCE:

Stack Bandwidth: Up to ~20 Gbps of stack throughput when used with Catalyst 2960‑S Series switches supporting FlexStack.

Stack Member Limit: Up to 4 switches in a stack (for many models) when using this module.

Use‑Case: Ideal for campus access layer or branch aggregation where simplified management and high availability are desired.

ENVIRONMENTAL & RELIABILITY:

Designed for enterprise wired‑access environments with stacking redundancy

Typical Operating Temperature Range for 2960‑S Series: ‑5 °C to +45 °C (for ambient conditions)

Enterprise‑grade reliability for campus switches with stacking support

PHYSICAL:

Form Factor: Module designed to plug into stacking slot of the Catalyst 2960‑S/2960‑SF switches

Typical Weight: ~0.32 kg (roughly 0.7 lb) (module only)

Dimensions: Matches module slot size of compatible switches (compact accessory form)

COMPATIBILITY & NOTES:

Compatible Devices: Cisco Catalyst 2960‑S and 2960‑SF series switches that support FlexStack stacking module

To use stacking, all stacked switches should have the module installed, compatible software version, and stacking cables connecting the stack members

When purchasing refurbished: Verify module condition, functionality of stacking ports, make sure correct variant (standalone or “=”) is in hand, and that your switches’ firmware supports stacking with the module

Deployment Advice: Use proper stacking cables of recommended length (0.5 m, 1 m, 3
