Figure 12. Stacking Transceivers

With its two SFP+ transceiver-style connectors and one meter of twinax cable, the AT-StackXS/1.0 transceiver is appropriate in situations where the switches are in the same equipment rack or on the same table.

The fiber optic transceivers are used to build stacks across large distances.
