Hello @davidbeard,

Welcome to the community!

You can cascade the switches (a mix of GS728TP and GS752TP) using either the SFP ports or ethernet ports. It is more applicable to use the SFP ports to cascade 2 or more switches if the distance between each other is more than 100 meters. There is no limit on the number of NETGEAR switches that can be daisy chained or cascaded together. However, the best practice would be up to 2-3 switches cascaded. It is because the more switch that you cascade will add latency on the network.

The compatible SFP modules for both GS728TP and GS752TP switches are AGM731F, AGM732F and AFM735. Kindly check their differences below:

As reference, kindly check the data sheet of the GS728TP and GS752TP switches here.
