Description

The EX-CBL-VCP-5M is a 5-metre Virtual Chassis Port (VCP) stacking cable purpose-built for interconnecting Juniper EX4200, EX4500, and EX4550 series switches into a unified Virtual Chassis. By connecting via the dedicated dual rear-panel VCP ports, this cable enables up to 10 switches to operate as a single logical device — simplifying management, increasing resiliency, and delivering a combined 128 Gbps virtual backplane bandwidth across the stack.

Supporting ring, mesh, and chain topologies, the VCP cable carries both data and control plane traffic between member switches, enabling automatic master/backup Route Engine election and centralised configuration of the entire chassis. Ideal for enterprise campus and data centre deployments requiring scalable, high-availability switch stacking. Need it fast? iptrading.com.au delivers across Australia — shop now.
