I am trying to stack some 3750 switches but the 3M cable I have won't reach one of my switches.  I know I can buy 5M cables on the Internet however i don't believe Cisco supports that cable length.  Is anyone using 5M cables successfully in a 3750 stack?

Any problems using 3rd party 5M stackwise cables in Cisco 3750 stacks?

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
