Stacking Cable Instructions
These instructions describe the interconnection of SANbox 5000 Series switches
and SANbox 9000 Series switches using XPAK-XPAK and XPAK-X2 stacking
cables. SANbox 5000 10-Gbps ports require XPAK connectors. SANbox 9000
10-Gbps ports require X2 connectors. Connection combinations are as follows:
Remove 10-Gbps Port Covers
Both SANbox 5000 and SANbox 9000 series switches come with port covers in
the 10-Gbps ports. Before installing the XPAK cables, remove the port covers. To
remove the 10-Gbps port cover for either switch model, insert a small flathead
screwdriver in the cover slot and gently pry the cover from the port.
Switch to Switch Cable Type Cable Lengths
SANbox 5000 to SANbox 5000 XPAK-XPAK 3 inch, 9 inch, 2 meter
SANbox 5000 to SANbox 9000 XPAK-X2 18 inch, 2 meter

Connect SANbox 5000 Series Switches
Using an XPAK-XPAK connector, install the cable connectors with the circuit
board toward the mid line of the respective switch faceplates. The cable connector
will fit only one way. When installing the 3-inch XPAK cable, insert the cable
connectors into the10-Gbps ports at the same time as shown.
Connect SANbox 5000 and 9000 Series Switches
To connect a SANbox 5000 Series switch and a SANbox 9000 Series switch, use
an XPAK-X2 cable. Install the XPAK connector in the SANbox 5000 switch port
with the circuit board toward the mid line of the switch. Install the X2 connector in
the SANbox 9000 switch port with the circuit board on the left.
To connect two SANbox 9000 switches, using an X2-X2 cable. Install the cable
connectors in the respective switch ports with the circuit boards on the left. The
cable connector will fit only one way.
