help in choosing a switch model

Hello,

I want to buy 4 9300 switchs. I don't know which reference to take.

I need 4 switch ( stacks) :

2 x 24 copper ports switch (C9300-24T)


AND I need 2 x 24-port switch, fiber ports, which is both compatible with 1g or 10G SFP modules, with a modular uplink (1G,10G or maybe more...)
I don't need POE

there is this model, C9300X-24HX, but with POE


there is this other model C9300X-24Y ( 24 port 25G/10G/1G SFP28), but i don't know what exactly is SFP28?

For the modular uplink, i would need 4 ports, but on the CISCO catalog, I only see 8 ports (C9300X-NM-8Y).with the 9200's, there is for example this reference C9200-NM-4X (4x 1G/10G network module).
But it doesn't seem to exist for the 9300? Maybe C9300X-NM-8M ( but with 8 ports)


These 4 switches will be stacked ( No problem for stacking C9300-24T and C9300X models if same licence and IOS?).

Because in the CISCO datasheet there are 2 models SKU C9300X and SKU C9300 and on the CISCO website:


Mixed stacking between Catalyst 9300X and Catalyst 9300 models are supported at StackWise-480 speeds.
Mixed stacking between Catalyst 9300 and Catalyst 9300X and Catalyst 9300 higher scale models (C9300-24UB, C9300-24UXB, C9300-48UB) is not supported.
You cannot stack fixed uplink models (C9300L SKUs) with modular uplink models (C9300 SKUs) or other Catalyst switches, e.g. Cisco Catalyst 3850 and 3650 Series. Any combination of Catalyst 9300 models can form a stack. Separately, any combination of Catalyst 9300L models can form a stack.
Catalyst 9300 higher scale SKUs (C9300-24UB, C9300-24UXB, C9300-48UB) need to be stacked with other higher scale models.

thanks in advance

All copper "9300X" do not support 10 Mbps.  Do not get this unless you are 100% guaranteed all the downstream clients support 100 Mbps and up.  

I have seen through my own eyes several "IoT" (Internet of Trash) brands claiming to support 1 Gbps but needs 10 Mbps for signalling and channelling.
