You'll start by looking at your device, say using a search of - cisco SLM2024 SFP compatible transceivers - or something similar.

Then match some company's transceiver with the exact type + speed of your connection, in your case this will match your exact fiber drop.

To "understand" what matches, you'll be in touch with Cisco + the transceiver vendor + your fiber drop vendor.

Getting an exact Fiber match may be an adventure.

Hi David,
sorry, but I don't understand (it's my fault).
If I search cisco SLM2024 SFP compatible transceivers it spit out a lot of inconsistent result.

What do you mean by speed of your connection?
I read datasheet of switch and I understand that support SFP transcivers (SFP, not SFP+ i guess)

What do you mean by your fiber drop vendor?
I will buy the fibre cable according to the gbic

Thanks!
