Applications

The 3Com SuperStack II product family was a widely deployed line of managed stackable switches used in enterprise LAN environments during the late 1990s and early 2000s. The Switch Matrix Cable connects two or more SuperStack II units through their matrix ports, allowing a back-to-back stack of two units or a larger stack of three or more units when used with the matrix module. Stacking via the matrix cable consolidates management and allows the switches to share resources as if they were a single device. This cable is still sought after by network administrators maintaining legacy SuperStack II infrastructure, as well as by organizations running 3Com-based networks that need replacement or spare stacking cables.
