Fibre SFP module

I need recommendation for a SFP module to connect two MS225-24P. The existing fibre patch is multi-mode. Knowing this will help me pick the right SKU on the partner's portal.

Thank you!

To teach you "how to fish", you go to a guide like:

https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Cross-Platform_Content/Small-Form_Factor_Plu...

 

Search for "MS225", and then  look at the column called "Fiber Type".  You only want MMF (multi-mode fibre) options.

Then decide if you want 1Gbe or 10Gbe (your switches are 10Gbe capable).

 

And then the last thing to consider is if you have OM1, OM2, OM3 or OM4 fibre - as that restricts the maximum length.  OM3 would be the mostly common multi-mode fibre plant you'll find deployed at the moment (especially if installed over the last 7 years).  Hopefully you don't have OM1 or OM2 as that is very restrictive.
