Hello friends
I recently started working in a company as IT solutions. I found the network in this way.
Central Branch, Router Mitrotik RB1100AHx4-
I have 3 switches connected, 1 on the first floor and 2 on the ground floor.
2 smaller branches connected wireless point-to-point.
I share a scheme that you make to understand it better.
SW 3 is connected to SW 2 by UTP, would it have to connect it by optical fiber? I imagine it improves the transfer.
With the passing of time they were adding devices, now I need to add a swich in the central house, I wonder, what would be the best way?
The new SW 4 thought to connect it to SW 1 by optical fiber, could you give me your opinion is very valuable to me
What topology would be better to use in this case?
Thanks

If the switch are in the same rack I would stack them with stacking cables, you can stack up to 8 switches. If they are far apart UTP cat 6 or 6a is fine for 1G speeds (C3 family doesn't support 10G), you dont need fiber unless the distances between switch are greater than ~80-90 meters.
