Title: Required to use your RPS, but expensive and short. Also, not for new 2960S
Product review: I'm using these short, heavy-duty cables with my Cisco RPS2300, and older Cisco Catalyst 2970 and 2960 gig switches. The cables are as expected: heavy-duty, proprietary design, looks like good quality, and you'll pay the premium price because you need it to use your RPS unit.They really could be a few feet longer. Even in a well designed telecom rack, these cables are on the short side for going top to bottom.Although the Catalyst2970 is too old to be listed in the official support matrix for the RPS2300, I found online release-notes indicating support, and tested that failover functioned as expected. Also note that contrary to the manual, the newest Cisco 2960S models have the larger RPS connector like the 3750/3560 does, and thus require theRPS Cable for 3750Einstead of this one.
