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

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

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.
