In today’s era, we continue to see many advancements in the field of technology that affect every further progress made in various other areas. The Cisco Catalyst WS-C3850-24S-S Series of switches has introduced a new era of advances in terms of network technology. It helps many the growing businesses that have a long list of users that need access to a network that they can rely on.

Cisco StackPower technology for Cisco 3850 Series is the coolest new addition to the advanced family technology that provides the coolest features for you to use. It can easily aggregate or combine all of the power available in a stack of switches and manages it to make it a mutual power pool for the entire stack. It enables the power to be used or shared quickly and effortlessly wherever it is needed. So, you can configure at least up to four switches at a time in a stack with the help of a particular connector present at the back of the switch. The way to do this is by using the StackPower cable. Here most people usually get confused, and they think they can use the Cisco StackWise 480, but it’s very different from this, and you should use the StackPower cable only.

Additional Benefits of the Cisco StackPower Cable

Whatever product you use, the reliability of that product is when you have not only one but various benefits of using it. Likewise, this advanced technology also has multiple benefits that you should know before you get to use it.

• The StackPower cable allows for better and efficient use of the power capacity that’s available. It does it so by abstracting the power supply location from its actual physical location in a stack of switches.
• It maximizes the efficiency and competency of the power supplies. Using this cable will reduce the power supply wastage because the aggregated loads allow the power supplies to work at the optimum efficiency but give the same level of work output.
• It hugely complements in providing the power that is required for PoE+ to any port of a stack.
• The PoE+ infrastructure is entirely scalable only because this cable enables it.
• With the improved technology, you also get a more reliable, efficient, and a product that provides better availability, which is what StackPower cable does for Cisco WSC3850 24S S Series switches. And it shows excellent efficiency with the XPS that goes up to nine switches.
• It dramatically lowers or reduces TCO by reducing the number of devices present in the rack, the number of power supplies needed, the number of AC outlets required in the wiring closet, and reducing the overall amount of heat resulting in the wiring closet.
• The improved efficiency results in achieving a higher mean time between failures (MTBF).
• When there is an extra capacity already available in the network system, it allows the off-lining of supplies.
