AX742 - Netgear Prosafe 24 Gigabit Stacking Kit
- For deployment convenience, M5300 series two rear I/O bays are pre-configured for stacking mode in factory default settings, allows for zero-touch stacking as soon as back connectivity is detected
- Copper, fiber can be mixed and matched for stacking interconnect
- One AX742 Stacking Kit per M5300 switch for local, dual ring topology
- AX742 is a bundle: 2 CX4 I/O modules AX744 + 1 stacking CX4 cable (1m - 3.3 ft)
- Latest IEEE 802.3ak 10GBASE-CX4 specifications (infiniband)
- Each I/O module half-duplex speed is 12 Gbps (24 Gbps full duplex) with 1m cable
- Dual ring stacking interconnect is 48 Gbps per switch (384 Gbps per stack) when one AX742 kit per switch (two I/O modules)
- Longer cable may be used (standard infiniband CX4 cable)
- Ordering Part Number (Worldwide): AX742

Description
- Adds a 24Gbps Stacking connectivity to the GSM7328S and GSM7352S. - Modular design lowers costs while maximizing flexibility. - Non-blocking wire-speed performance. - Configured in a resilient ring topology, delivers 48Gbps of stacking bandwidth. AX742 Stacking Kit is cost-effective preferred method for local Virtual Chassis Stacking using both rear I/O bays. When some switches are distant, affordable SFP+ (AX743) and 10GBase-T (AX745) I/O modules allow for fiber or copper distant connections, still leveraging rear bays zero-touch stacking functionality.
