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 fibre or copper distant connections, still leveraging rear bays zero-touch stacking functionality.

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 fibre or copper distant connections, still leveraging rear bays zero-touch stacking functionality
Copper, fibre 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)
