This genuine refurbished Cisco C3650-STACK-KIT is a StackWise-160 stacking upgrade kit designed for the Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series of switches. Each kit includes two StackWise adapters and one 0.5 m StackWise stacking cable, providing everything needed to add stacking capability to a WS-C3650 switch that was not originally ordered with stacking. Every unit has been professionally tested and reset to factory defaults before shipment.Powered by Cisco StackWise-160 technology, the C3650-STACK-KIT delivers a full stack bandwidth of 160 Gbps and supports stacking of up to nine Catalyst 3650 switches into a single unified system. The stack architecture operates with an active switch and a standby switch, leveraging Cisco IOS Software Stateful Switchover (SSO) to maintain stack operation through software upgrades or unexpected switch failures. Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols present the entire stack as a single logical entity to the network, with unified management via a single IP address and single CLI.
Purchasing a professionally tested, refurbished C3650-STACK-KIT through WhaleyComm delivers the same enterprise-grade stacking performance at a fraction of the new list price. WhaleyComm is ISO 9001, R2v3, e-Stewards, and UNEDA certified, with more than 25 years of experience serving 5,000+ enterprise customers. Every unit ships with our Lifetime Warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product-specific answers about compatibility, testing, warranty, fulfilment, and purchase confidence.
Yes. The C3650-STACK-KIT= includes two StackWise adapters and one 0.5 m StackWise stacking cable, which is the complete set of hardware required to add StackWise-160 stacking capability to a WS-C3650 switch that was not originally configured for stacking. Additional cables of different lengths may be ordered separately if needed.
The Cisco StackWise-160 architecture supports a stack of up to nine Catalyst 3650 switches. All members operate as a single unified system managed by an active switch, with a standby switch ready to take over if the active switch becomes unavailable.
No. Cisco's official documentation specifies that a Catalyst 3650 switch stack cannot contain a mix of Catalyst 3850 and Catalyst 3650 switches. This kit is designed exclusively for the WS-C3650 Series.
Yes. Every WhaleyComm unit ships with a Lifetime Warranty. If it fails under normal operating conditions at any point, we replace it at no cost — no time limits, no questions asked.
Every unit goes through our ISO 9001-certified testing process: full power-on diagnostics, port-by-port functionality testing, firmware verification, factory reset, and final inspection. A Certificate of Testing ships with every unit.
