Long-Distance Stacking Ports

Only certain ICX stacking devices support long-distance stacking. Potential stacking distances vary by ICX device and by optic. For more information, refer to the RUCKUS Ethernet Optics Data Sheet.

The following table lists ICX devices and ports that support 100-Gbps long-distance data and stacking connections.

Note: FastIron 08.0.95 releases do not support 100-Gbps stacking on ICX 7550 devices.

LR optics can be used on ICX 7450 4 X 10-Gbps ports when a 4X10GF module is present. LR optics can also used on ICX 7150 ports when either a 4X10GF module or 2X10GF module is present. LR optics can support distances up to 10 kilometers for data or stacking. The following table summarizes LR support on ICX 7150 and ICX 7450 devices.
