dear i have 8 cat9300 switches and need to make a power stack but I have stack power cable only 30 cm which is a shortage to connect sw1 to sw 8 like data cable as I have no issue in stack data cable can make one stack for 8 switch but regarding power stack what I can do as cable is only 30 cm ? is there any solution or I should buy another cable to cover 8 switches @stackwise

i would suggest to read this document :
Personally - i would not do 8 in one stack(even though cisco support stack of 8 in one stack) , rather make 2 stack each one have 4 switches, since that way you have more flexibility ad control - its easy to maintain when required to software upgrade.
If you need more port and very flexible, i look for chassis as 9400 is good option.

You can buy big cable if i have not mistaken understand requirement here :
you get different size 1.5 and 3 Meter cables :
