Short Reach Meraki Stack Cabling

MA-CBL-100G-50CM is the Meraki 100G Stacking Cable (50 cm), a QSFP28 passive Twinax Meraki Stacking cable for MS450, MS355 and MS150 switches with 400 Gbps on MS450 and MS355 stacks. Its edge over MA-CBL-100G-1M is the 0.5 m reach for adjacent switches, not a change in stack technology. The Cisco Meraki MS450 stack cable uses two dedicated hardware stack ports on each switch and builds a full ring through stack port 1 and stack port 2. Physical stacking gives one stack view, physical redundancy, Layer 3 gateway redundancy and Layer 2 dual-homing redundancy once all stacking cables are installed. Only like-model MS stacks are used outside the MS210 and MS225 exception, so equal data rate does not create a mixed MS355 and MS450 stack.

Technical Details

400 Gbps of stack bandwidth applies to MS450 and MS355 hardware stacks, while MS150 models use their own dedicated ports at 80 Gbps. The 0.5 m Meraki 100G stack cable matches adjacent switches; a full eight-member ring needs 8 cables because each switch consumes two stack-port links in the ring. MA-CBL-100G-50CM carries a 100 Gigabit cable data rate and uses a QSFP28 passive Twinax assembly. Up to eight physical-stack members share one management plane, and the active member manages stack functions. Initial cabling starts with all switches powered off and links disconnected; the stack LED turns green when the QSFP28 stack cable is connected.

Ordering

MA-CBL-100G-50CM is offered new sealed and certified refurbished; new carries up to 3-year extended warranty, certified refurbished carries up to 1 year, and 30 days on every condition · terms apply. Certified refurbished testing has connectors, pins, latches and housing inspected, connected between two compatible switches, and stack link up at the rated bandwidth. Count one cable per switch for a full ring and confirm 0.5 m between stack ports before PO. Regional stock/RMA covers UK · EU · US · MEA, with PO accepted · Net-30 for government · RMA with advance replacement.

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

Count the ring

A full ring needs one MA-CBL-100G-50CM per switch, so an eight-member MS450 or MS355 stack needs 8 cables and two members need 2 cables.

Measure the reach

0.5 m reach fits adjacent switches in the same rack; choose MA-CBL-100G-1M or MA-CBL-100G-3M when the measured path exceeds 0.5 m.

Match the family

MS350 takes MA-CBL-40G-50CM at the same 0.5 m length, so MA-CBL-100G-50CM does not match MS350 stack ports.

Cable before power

Connect the cable with stack members powered off and links disconnected; a full ring starts at stack port 1 and returns from the bottom switch to the top switch.

Cable Replacement

A buyer with an MS355 or MS450 stack alarm after a damaged short cable needs the same 100GQSFP28 0.5 m cable. The stack-port LED should return to green after the link is seated and the stack is healthy, so match 0.5 m before the PO.

Full Ring Completion

A buyer building a full ring across four adjacent MS450-12 switches needs 4 stack cables. Each switch uses two hardware stack ports in the ring, and the final cable returns the bottom switch to the top switch, so count members before the PO.

Stack Expansion

A buyer adding an MS150 member to an existing like-model MS150 physical stack must keep the stack within 8 members. The new switch is powered off before the ring cable is added, so count the member total and the 0.5 m path before the PO.

Not Suitable If

MS350 stack ports

MA-CBL-100G-50CM is a 100 Gigabit QSFP28 stack cable for MS150, MS355 and MS450. MS350 stack ports take the 40 Gigabit MA-CBL-40G-50CM at the 0.5 m length.

Longer rack path

0.5 m is for adjacent stack ports. When the measured route exceeds 0.5 m inside the rack, the 1 m 100G sibling is MA-CBL-100G-1M.

Mixed MS family stack

Meraki physical stacks are like-model outside the MS210 and MS225 exception. An MS355 and MS450 pair needs separate stacks even though both use 100 Gigabit stack cables.

Questions & Answers

What is MA-CBL-100G-50CM?

MA-CBL-100G-50CM is the Cisco Meraki 100G Stacking Cable (50 cm), a QSFP28 passive Twinax cable assembly for Meraki MS150, MS355 and MS450 physical stacks. The 100G segment marks the cable data rate, and 50CM marks the 0.5 m length for adjacent stack ports.

Which switches does MA-CBL-100G-50CM fit?

MA-CBL-100G-50CM fits Meraki MS150, MS355 and MS450 physical stack ports. MS350, MS410 and MS425 use 40 Gigabit Meraki stack cables, while MS390 uses 120 Gigabit StackWise-family cabling. Only like-model Meraki MS stacks are allowed apart from the MS210 and MS225 exception.

What stack cable does a Meraki MS450 use?

A Meraki MS450 uses MA-CBL-100G-50CM, MA-CBL-100G-1M or MA-CBL-100G-3M for 100 Gigabit physical stacking. MS450-12 has two 100G hardware stack ports and 400 Gbps of stacking bandwidth. Choose the length after measuring the path between stack ports.

What does Meraki Stacking provide with MA-CBL-100G-50CM?

Meraki Stacking with MA-CBL-100G-50CM provides 400 Gbps on MS450 and MS355 stacks, and MS150 uses 80 Gbps on its dedicated stack ports. Physical stacking creates one stack view with physical redundancy, Layer 3 gateway redundancy and Layer 2 dual-homing redundancy after all stacking cables are installed.

How many MA-CBL-100G-50CM cables does a stack need?

Use MA-CBL-100G-50CM when adjacent stack ports are within 0.5 m; use the 1 m or 3 m 100G sibling when the measured path is longer. A full ring needs one cable per switch, so 2 switches need 2 cables and 8 switches need 8 cables.

How many members does a MA-CBL-100G-50CM stack allow?

A physical Meraki stack using MA-CBL-100G-50CM has a maximum of 8 switches. A full ring links stack port 1 to the next switch's stack port 2 and returns from the bottom switch to the top switch. Missing ring links leave a configured member disconnected.

How do you install MA-CBL-100G-50CM?

Install MA-CBL-100G-50CM with all switches powered off and links disconnected. Seat the QSFP28 cable with the black tab facing up on MS physical stacks. The stack-port LED turns orange when the cable is detected and green when stack status is good.

Can MA-CBL-100G-50CM stack MS150 switches?

Yes, MA-CBL-100G-50CM fits MS150 stacking models along with MS355 and MS450. MS150 has two dedicated stack ports and 80 Gbps of stacking bandwidth, while MS355 and MS450 have 400 Gbps. Keep MS150 stacks like-model, and count one cable per member for a ring.

What is the difference between MA-CBL-100G-50CM and MA-CBL-100G-1M?

MA-CBL-100G-50CM and MA-CBL-100G-1M use the same 100GQSFP28 standard, QSFP28 passive Twinax assembly and Meraki MS150, MS355 and MS450 fit. The difference is reach: MA-CBL-100G-50CM is 0.5 m, while MA-CBL-100G-1M is 1 m for a longer in-rack path.

What is the difference between MA-CBL-100G-50CM and MA-CBL-100G-3M?

MA-CBL-100G-50CM is the short 0.5 m cable for adjacent stack ports. MA-CBL-100G-3M keeps the same 100 Gigabit data rate, QSFP28 passive Twinax assembly and Meraki MS150, MS355 and MS450 fit, but its 3 m reach suits separated rack positions.

What is the difference between MA-CBL-100G-50CM and MA-CBL-40G-50CM?

MA-CBL-100G-50CM is the 100 Gigabit QSFP28 stack cable for MS150, MS355 and MS450. MA-CBL-40G-50CM is the 40 Gigabit QSFP+ stack cable for MS210, MS225, MS250, MS350, MS410 and MS425. Use the family and stack-port type to choose, not the 0.5 m length.

Is MA-CBL-100G-50CM end of sale?

Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for MA-CBL-100G-50CM. MA-CBL-100G-50CM serves Meraki MS150, MS355 and MS450 switches. The Meraki 100G stack-cable set remains 0.5 m, 1 m and 3 m for those switch families.

What warranty does ORM offer on MA-CBL-100G-50CM?

ORM offers MA-CBL-100G-50CM new sealed and certified refurbished. New carries up to 3-year extended warranty, certified refurbished carries up to 1 year, and 30 days on every condition · terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested between two compatible switches; RMA with advance replacement applies.
