Connecting Multiple PowerConnect 2848 / 2824

We have multiple PowerConnect switches (2848 and 2824) currently in unmanaged mode. We are linking multiple switches in two different locations. It is better to connect them via the Lnk/Act port using a SFP cable versus using a Cat 5e cable using the basic port? If using SFP is faster can we use Cisco SFP cables that we already have?

    They are same speed.   Cat 5e is cheaper.  Any SFP can be used so you can use what you have.
