2. To build a management stack, connect a standard straight-through or
crossover TIA/EIA 568-B-compliant Enhanced Category 5 (Cat 5e)
shielded or unshielded cabling with 100 ohm impedance to the Stack
port. Connect the other end of the cable to either of the Stack ports on
the AT-MCF2000S Stacking Module in the next chassis as shown in
Figure 76. The maximum distance of a stacking cable is 100 meters
(328 ft.).

3. To connect two AT-MCF2000S Stacking Modules, use a standard
straight-through or crossover TIA/EIA 568-B-compliant Enhanced
Category 5 (Cat 5e) shielded or unshielded cabling with 100 ohm
impedance. Connect one of the Stack ports on one module to either of
the Stack ports on the module in the next chassis. All port
combinations are supported, as illustrated in Figure 77. For
background information, refer to Chapter 5, “AT-MCF2000S Stacking
Module” on page 73.
