Hi there, I am designing a new switch stack and wanted to verify a concept with my fellow Meraki enthusiasts.
In their MDF I would place 6 switches.
if you have 5 switches in stack. you best off with 5 cable.
see your second picture. 4 switches 4 stacking cables
Yup, that's supported. MS210 and MS225 can be attached together. Stacks of 8 switches is the max supported and you would be at 6.
But you're missing stacking cables. You need one per switch.
MS225 -- MS210 -- MS210 -- MS210 -- MS210 -- MS210

Also note that you don't necessarily need a long cable physically. You can use all short cables too.
Here's the principle (shown with 3750X but the principle is the same):
As opposed to:
Yes, I'm very familiar with Catalyst switch stacking.
Thank you for your help.

you cant add 2 cables in 1 slot
