STACK-T3A-50CM is a 0.5 m StackWise-320 stack cable for Catalyst 9300L fixed uplink stacks and Catalyst 9300LM fixed uplink stacks at 320 Gbps. C9300LM fit is its edge over the earlier Type 3 0.5 m cable. A fixed uplink stack needs Type 3A links when C9300LM switches are present. The 0.5 m StackWise-320 cable stacks Catalyst 9300L and Catalyst 9300LM switches with matching StackWise-320 adapters. This Cisco Catalyst 9300L stack cable uses the rear StackWise adapters, not the modular uplink StackWise-480/1T ports. The stack gives one control plane, one management plane, active and standby roles and full-ring redundancy. STACK-T3A-1M is the next length when adjacent fixed uplink switches are not within 0.5 m.
STACK-T3A-50CM price for new stock is $283.50, a 22.2% saving from the Cisco list price of $364.50. STACK-T3A-50CM refurb price is $115.49. STACK-T3A-50CM is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

320 Gbps of stack bandwidth applies to StackWise-320 fixed uplink stacks with 8 members. Full-ring cabling gives redundant StackWise connections, and incomplete cabling leaves half bandwidth with no redundant connections. A full ring of 4 switches needs 4 data stack cables; a 4-switch chain needs 3 cables. STACK-T3A-50CM uses 0.5 m reach for adjacent vertical rack or table stacks, and the minimum bend radius is 41 mm. Each link must use the matching adapter and cable combination at both ends. Catalyst 9300L models use Type 3 and Type 3A cables, while Catalyst 9300LM models use only Type 3A cables. Cisco IOS XE Cupertino 17.9.x introduced Type 3A cable and adapter operation.
STACK-T3A-50CM is available new sealed and certified refurbished. Certified refurbished cables are inspected and bench-tested between two compatible switches; connectors, pins, latches and housing inspected; stack link up at the rated bandwidth. Match the 0.5 m length to adjacent switches and count one data stack cable for each full-ring member. Warranty is new — up to 3-year extended · certified refurbished — up to 1 year, and returns are 30 days on every condition · terms apply. UK · EU · US · MEA regional stock/RMA, RMA with advance replacement, PO accepted and Net-30 for government apply.

Replaces | STACK-T3-50CM |
A buyer replacing a damaged 0.5 m Type 3A link keeps the stack on the same adapter family and swaps one cable per failed link. The replacement must sit between matching StackWise-320 adapters at both ends. Count every broken link before the PO.
A buyer adding a Catalyst 9300LM switch to an existing Catalyst 9300L fixed uplink stack needs Type 3A links for the new member. A full ring of 3 switches needs 3 data stack cables. Confirm Cisco IOS XE Cupertino 17.9.x as the release floor before the PO.
A buyer closing a half-ring stack uses this 0.5 m cable only where adjacent rear adapters are within 0.5 m. Full-ring cabling restores redundant StackWise connections; incomplete cabling leaves half bandwidth. Count one cable per stack member and measure the last return link before the PO.
Catalyst 9300 modular uplinks
STACK-T3A-50CM fits fixed uplink Catalyst 9300L and 9300LM stacks. Catalyst 9300 and 9300X modular uplink stacks use STACK-T1-50CM at this length.
Unmatched stack adapters
Each StackWise link must use the matching adapter and cable combination at both ends. C9300L-STACK links use STACK-T3-50CM instead.
Side-by-side switch spacing
0.5 m serves adjacent vertical rack or table stacks. Side-by-side mounting uses longer Type 3A cables; choose STACK-T3A-1M after measuring the path.

STACK-T3A-50CM is the Cisco 50CM Type 3A Stacking Cable, a 0.5 m StackWise-320 data stack cable for Catalyst 9300L and Catalyst 9300LM fixed uplink stacks. The T3A segment marks the Type 3A cable family, and 50CM marks the 0.5 m length.
STACK-T3A-50CM fits Catalyst 9300L and Catalyst 9300LM fixed uplink stacks with Type 3A adapters. Catalyst 9300 and 9300X modular uplink stacks use STACK-T1-50CM at this length. Catalyst 9300LM uses only Type 3A cables, while Catalyst 9300L uses Type 3 and Type 3A cables.
A Catalyst 9300L fixed uplink stack uses StackWise-320 cables with C9300L-STACK or C9300L-STACK-A adapters. STACK-T3A-50CM is the 0.5 m Type 3A cable; STACK-T3A-1M and STACK-T3A-3M are the longer Type 3A choices. Legacy Type 3 choices are STACK-T3-50CM, STACK-T3-1M and STACK-T3-3M.
STACK-T3A-50CM provides StackWise-320 at 320 Gbps for fixed uplink Catalyst 9300L and Catalyst 9300LM stacks. C9300LM fit is the edge over the earlier Type 3 cable. StackWise-320 also gives one management plane, active and standby roles, Stateful Switchover and full-ring redundancy.
STACK-T3A-50CM is the 0.5 m Type 3A cable for adjacent switches in a vertical rack or on a table. A full ring needs one data stack cable per member, so 4 switches need 4 cables. A 4-switch chain uses 3 cables and runs at half bandwidth.
STACK-T3A-50CM serves StackWise-320 stacks with 8 members on Catalyst 9300L and Catalyst 9300LM fixed uplink models. Full-ring cabling gives redundant connections and full 320 Gbps stack bandwidth. Incomplete cabling forms a half-bandwidth stack without redundant StackWise connections.
STACK-T3A-50CM plugs into StackWise-320 adapters in the rear StackWise ports. Remove adapter blanks, install the adapters, then push the cable connector until the spring latch locks. Cisco IOS XE Cupertino 17.9.x is the release floor for Type 3A cable and adapter operation.
STACK-T3A-50CM replaces STACK-T3-50CM as the 0.5 m Type 3A successor for C9300L and C9300LM fixed uplink stacks. The change is fit: the earlier Type 3 cable serves C9300L links, while the Type 3A cable serves both C9300L and C9300LM links.
STACK-T3A-50CM is the 0.5 m Type 3A cable, while STACK-T3A-1M is the 1 m Type 3A cable. Both serve StackWise-320 links for Catalyst 9300L and Catalyst 9300LM stacks. Use the 0.5 m cable for adjacent switches and the 1 m cable for longer paths.
STACK-T3A-50CM adds Catalyst 9300LM fit over STACK-T3-50CM. The Type 3A cable serves Catalyst 9300L and Catalyst 9300LM stacks, while the Type 3 cable serves Catalyst 9300L stacks. Use Type 3A when any C9300LM switch is in the fixed uplink stack.
STACK-T3A-50CM is only the 0.5 m data stack cable, while C9300L-STACK-KIT2 contains two stack adapters and one stack cable. Use the loose cable when the adapters are already in place. Use the kit when a switch still needs Type 3A adapters.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for STACK-T3A-50CM. STACK-T3A-50CM remains in the Catalyst 9300 Series ordering set and serves Catalyst 9300L and Catalyst 9300LM fixed uplink StackWise-320 stacks. The older STACK-T3-50CM stopped selling on 3 November 2025.
ORM offers STACK-T3A-50CM in new sealed and certified refurbished condition. Catalyst 9300 Series hardware carries Enhanced Limited Lifetime coverage. Certified refurbished cables are inspected and bench-tested between two compatible switches. Warranty is new — up to 3-year extended · certified refurbished — up to 1 year, and returns are 30 days on every condition · terms apply.
