The data sheet for the Cat 3750 says:

"Cisco StackWise stacking creates a 32 Gbps switch interconnection.
Stacking does not require user ports. Up to 9 units can be stacked
together for a maximum of 468 10/100 ports, 468 10/100/1000 ports, 108
optical aggregation ports, nine 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, or any mix
thereof."
