Same either way. Switches don't divide the connection. Same number of cables either way. Hope this helps!

It really depends on your room setup and # of computers - it's more about cable management and expandability than performance. &nbsp;I personally like to cascade my switches rather than chain them.

cascading would be plugging the two switches into the 3rd - if you've ever seen that trick where they stack a bunch of champagne glasses on top of one another and then pour the champagne in from the top, that's the basic idea of a cascade. &nbsp;

The anwser is:<br />

The one that uses less meters of cable to keep the connection as fast as you can.<br />
Either way is fine.<br />

Well.. I do have them setup in a cascade with my servers on switch 1 and my users on 2 and 3 both plugged directly into 1. I thought this made the most sense anyways.<br />

Curious about something. Is it better to daisy chain 3 switches or plug 2 of the switches into the 3rd.<br />
