This is a tool to assist in the migration of a Cisco or Meraki switch with a new Cisco or Meraki Switch. Â You would move the existing cables from the old switch to the tool allowing you to keep the cables in the same port locations. Â Then the switch can be removed and a new switch installed in it's place. Â Next the cables can be moved from the tool to the new switch. Â This is especially useful for replacing multiple switches in a stack. Â See the included photo for an example. Â I designed this originally as a single piece but it required a large 350x350 printer. Â I redesigned it as two pieces so it should fit most standard printers. Â The original single piece design is included if you have a 350x350 printer, it will need to me rotated 45 degrees to fit. Â It was designed to be printed in ABS or ASA so if you print in PLA or PETG you may need to scale the part up a few percent. Â The two piece design requires three M3x5x4 heat set inserts available from Amazon and three M3x10 (or 12) Socket Head Cap screws. Â In addition to the screws to combine the two pieces you may also want to use some super glue or epoxy for additional strength in the joint. Â Be sparing with any glue used as it could get into one of the RJ45 slots making it difficult to insert a cable.
