dear harish

i once tried that setup you mentioned also on x440g2 - the 10 gig ports on the back side
i also had 10gig sfp+ multimode modules and om3 patch cords
it worked!
maybe you need to cross/uncross them

for sure direct attach cables are cheaper, but if you don't have them you should also be able to test it with fibre equipment

Hi, Harish. The MM Fiber Optic patch cords are not supported for use as stacking cables with X440-G2. However, you can use SFP+ direct-attach cables in lengths of 1, 3, 5, and 10 meters. The Selecting Stacking Cables table provides a list of cable types that are supported for stacking with Summit and ExtremeSwitching brand switches.
