Can ordinary fiber optic cables be stacked with switches

To connect multiple Ethernet switches, the best way is to use a multi-strand fiber cable. The 4-strand pre-terminated fiber optic cable consists of four individual strands or fibers of glass or plastic fibers enclosed in a protective sheath. ( lets say 4 Meters distance between racks). My ask is, how I can create stack between switches using fiber cable (1000BaseSX SFP), I am attaching the pic of closet for better. I am planning to connect core switch to multiple switches using 6 strand fiber cable. which type of cnnection is resilient Star or Ring??? If I make star then do i have to use new cable to each switch or strand of a cable to patch other switch??Thanks. It usually depends on the mo...
