Abstract
A cable free networking device stacking system includes networking devices that are each configured to operate as part of a networking device stack, and at least one LiFi device included on each of the networking devices. A first LiFi device on a first networking device in the plurality of networking devices transmits networking device stack data communications by receiving first electrical data communications from the first networking device, converting the first electrical data communications to first optical data communications, and wirelessly transmitting the first optical data communications to a second LiFi device included on a second networking device in the plurality of networking devices. The first LiFi device also receives networking device stack data communications by wirelessly receiving second optical data communications from the second LiFi device, converting the second optical data communications to second electrical data communications, and transmitting the second electrical data communications to the first networking device.
