Network Cable BlueOptics CAB-STK-E-2M Stacking Cable RJ45 Ethernet 2 Meter Blue

The BlueOptics CAB-STK-E-2M Stacking Cable RJ45 Ethernet 2 Meter Blue is a 2-metre network cable intended for stacking and short-distance Ethernet interconnections. Equipped with standard RJ45 connectors and manufactured to meet Ethernet signalling requirements, this blue cable provides a straightforward solution for linking compatible network switches and devices within racks or cabinet layouts. Its compact length suits organized cabling runs where minimal excess is required.

Advantages

This stacking cable offers a ready-to-use RJ45 terminated connection that supports stable data transmission between compliant Ethernet ports. The 2 m length balances reach and cable management, reducing clutter while allowing flexible placement of network equipment. The blue jacket simplifies visual identification in mixed-cable environments and the cable is designed for straightforward installation without additional adapters.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches in a stack within the same rack or adjacent racks
• Short Ethernet links between routers, patch panels and switches
• Organized cabling runs where a defined 2 m length is preferred

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Length: 2 metres
• Intended use: Ethernet/stacking cable for network equipment
• Colour: blue
• Compatibility: standard RJ45 Ethernet ports and switch stacking interfaces that accept RJ45 connections

How to use

Identify the two devices or switch stacking ports to be connected and ensure both ports support RJ45 Ethernet connections. Insert each RJ45 connector firmly into the corresponding port until it clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it away from potential sources of interference or mechanical strain. Verify link activity and speed through the device indicators or network management interface to confirm proper operation.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the cable for short interconnects within racks or cabinets and avoid extending beyond intended lengths. When managing multiple cables, label both ends and maintain gentle bend radii to preserve signal integrity. Ensure devices are configured for stacking or direct Ethernet connections as required by your network design.
