    it is a Cisco stack cable. they can sell for good money but you have to be patient and they need to be in original packaging to really get anything good out of them.

    The good thing about Cisco is that their cables are proprietary, so although it might sit on ebay for awhile eventually someone will need it and buy it. If you had a good amount of them I could point you in the direction of some companies that would buy them to keep in inventory...(it does have to be a good quantity though)

    I think I might have only 3 or 4 of this length plus about half a dozen of shorter ones.

    Not totally true, most stacking cisco stuff comes with the cables and cables rarely go bad.

    Cisco cables are actually a tough sell. Usually the only time we ever need extra are when we deploy 3 or more switch's and want double redundancy. Then we need to order another set.

    When we do new deployments we deploy new equip not old so the older cables are normally not compatible without adapters.

    What you want to find in cisco cables are the ones that interface with newer equipment to older. Pleople always need those and they do not come with new equipment. They need to be ordered and are often expensive.

    If I can't sell them, I'll scrap them, but are the ends considered gold connectors?

    if they are power cords usually not.

    Bust one open and take a look at the connectors.
