Can you tell me what is the model of this HP cable? It's damaged and needed to be replaced but I don't know what to search for. Photo is in the attachment.

Thank you in advance.

It would be helpful if you could tell the partnumber printed on the label. Could be a cable with integrated SFP, maybe for virtual connect?

There's a serial number, but not a part number on the label:

HP7000/2/STK-2

LEONI

L45593-E101-D5

0.5m Bladestack

SN#: 1435-0666

REV:B0

Maybe it is used for stacking cisco switches?

Tried to investigate your suggestion... It seems that it's a Cisco FlexStack CAB-STK-E-0.5M analogue. Thank you

Exactly, for future reference please provide the "Print Legend" of the cable for a quick and accurate response.

Here is an example of what that looks like:

Typically begins with the manufacturer name and or part number, as well as the (UL) E#, followed by the cable charachteristics.

Cable above shown with Footage Markers, Cable Manufacturer Name, Followed by part number and description. This is what is required to Cross Reference your cable or wire in the future. A cable manufacturer or cable distributor will need this information to find the cable you need for your application. UL designation of cable print is listed above that will also help you find what you are looking for.
