STACK-T2-BLANK is a Cisco Type 2 Stacking Blank for the rear StackWise-160 stack-module slot on Catalyst 3650 switches. The exact StackWise adapter blank fit for an unused Catalyst 3650 stacking port separates it from cables and adapters. It covers the slot and does not add a stack link. Use this Catalyst 3650 stack blank when a switch is not being stacked, or when a removed StackWise adapter leaves a port open. Catalyst 3650 stacking uses StackWise adapters and StackWise cables in the rear ports; the blank is the cover for an empty port. Order one blank for each unused StackWise port that must remain covered.
STACK-T2-BLANK price for new stock is $80.84. STACK-T2-BLANK refurb price is $36.74. STACK-T2-BLANK is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

0.05 kg of StackWise adapter blank weight uses the rear StackWise port position and the assembly screw. A Torx T15 screwdriver or the Torx T15 key from a StackWise upgrade kit removes or installs the cover. STACK-T2-BLANK fits the StackWise port that otherwise takes a StackWise adapter before any stack cable connection. The Catalyst 3650 StackWise-160 system uses adapters and copper StackWise cabling for data stacking, while this blank carries no data path. Catalyst 3650 and Catalyst 3850 switches must not share one switch stack. LAN Base stacks with LAN Base, IP Base stacks with IP Base, and IP Services stacks with IP Services.
STACK-T2-BLANK is offered new sealed and certified refurbished for Catalyst 3650 maintenance. Certified refurbished units have connectors, pins, latches and housing inspected. Order one blank for each empty rear StackWise port, and confirm whether adapters are installed before the PO. Warranty is new — up to 3-year extended and certified refurbished — up to 1 year, with 30 days on every condition · terms apply. Regional stock/RMA covers UK · EU · US · MEA; PO accepted · Net-30 for government · RMA with advance replacement.

A buyer has a Catalyst 3650 with an unused rear StackWise port after a StackWise adapter was removed. One blank covers one empty port and keeps the port face covered. Count every vacant StackWise port before the PO, then order the same count of blanks.
A spares pool serves Catalyst 3650 switches that move between standalone and stacked roles. Keep blanks for ports that return to standalone service after adapters leave the chassis. Count ports left open by the change, because one switch has two rear StackWise positions.
A lab team stages Catalyst 3650 switches without building a data stack on every unit. The blank fills an unused StackWise position while adapters and cables stay with the stacked units. Count the empty rear StackWise ports during staging before the PO.
Active stack link
STACK-T2-BLANK covers an empty StackWise port and does not create a StackWise-160 link. A stacking port must have a StackWise adapter before any cable connection.
Catalyst 3850 stack mixing
Catalyst 3650 and Catalyst 3850 switches must not share one stack. This blank does not change the family restriction or add a shared StackWise link.
Power supply bay coverage
STACK-T2-BLANK fits the StackWise adapter position, not the power supply module slot. Power supply bays need a power supply or their own blank cover.

STACK-T2-BLANK is the Cisco Type 2 Stacking Blank for Catalyst 3650 StackWise-160 ports. It covers an unused rear StackWise port when the switch is not ordered or used with stacking. The PID is a blank, not a cable, adapter or stacking kit, so it adds no stack bandwidth.
STACK-T2-BLANK fits Catalyst 3650 StackWise adapter blank positions in the rear StackWise ports. The part belongs with Catalyst 3650 StackWise-160 hardware, and Catalyst 3650 and Catalyst 3850 switches must not share one stack. Use one blank for each Catalyst 3650 port that remains empty.
A Catalyst 3650 uses STACK-T2-BLANK to cover an unused StackWise port. Data stacking uses StackWise adapters and STACK-T2-50CM, STACK-T2-1M or STACK-T2-3M cables instead. The blank is the cover choice when the port stays unused rather than part of a StackWise-160 stack.
StackWise-160 is the Catalyst 3650 data-stack technology, and STACK-T2-BLANK covers a slot in that system. The blank itself provides no 160 Gbps link. 160 Gbps applies when Catalyst 3650 switches use StackWise adapters and approved StackWise cabling for data stacking.
Order one STACK-T2-BLANK for each empty Catalyst 3650 StackWise port. Count ports, not switches, because a single switch has two rear StackWise positions. A port used for stacking needs an adapter and a cable, while an unused port takes the blank.
STACK-T2-BLANK is secured in the rear StackWise port with an assembly screw. A Torx T15 screwdriver, or the Torx T15 key from a StackWise upgrade kit, removes the blank before an adapter is installed. Store removed blanks for later port coverage.
STACK-T2-BLANK= is the Cisco spare form of STACK-T2-BLANK for the Type 2 Stacking Blank. The equals sign belongs to the Cisco spare PID. Certified refurbished is a condition, not the Cisco spare marker, so keep the PID form separate from condition.
STACK-T2-BLANK covers an unused Catalyst 3650 StackWise port, while STACK-T2-50CM is a 0.5 m StackWise cable for ports that already have adapters. Choose the blank when the port stays empty. Choose the cable when two adapted StackWise ports need a short connection.
