which cable to buy to connect 3 other switches directly to the 1000 Base-T SFP ports

[LACARLYLE]

newbie here so please don't kick my butt too hard...

just bought my first HP 1910-24G-PoE and I want to connect 3 other hp switches directly to the 1000 Base-T SFP ports but noticed that those (4) ports dont use a regular cat 6 cable.  It looks like a deeper etherne connection.  Where can I buy the cables or connectors that will fit there?

Thank you.

If you mean you have empty SFP slots  then they are for SFP transceivers (usually for fibre)

You could buy  1000 Base-T transceivers but it would be an expensive way to add a few additional ports. If the other ports on the switch were only 100Base-T it would make more sense to use the SFPs as uplinks. As it is I would forget about them.

Thank you for your help.

Please refer to the link.

All of these 24 ports are 10/100/1000, so you don't need to buy any extra GBIC(Giga bit interface card).

If you have reason to buy them, that's becasue your other 3 deivces are over 100M which is longer than Cat5, Cat6 cable distance.

You can connect these 3 devices directly to any 3 of these 24 ports.
