GS308-3 adding a second ethernet switch FS105 with jumper

Can you use a jumper to stack two switches? Netgear 8 port with 5 port added with jumper cable. Home application, ran out of ports on the GS308. want to add FS105 switch for the additional ports.

Model: GS308v3|8 Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch

not sure what you mean by jumper. 

You can connect 2 switches together with an ethernet cable. I've got multiple switches

If "jumper" means a straight instead of a standard crossed (X) cable the answer is no. Modern switches have a feature called Auto-X.
