How do I connect two switches using SFP ports?

[dseg42]

Looking to purchase two of these:

If I want to connect them together, I was thinking I use the SFP ports.

What exactly do I need to connect them together?
I think I need a fiber cable but do I also need a module or something?

I am connecting multiple POE cameras and I could not find a silent (fanless) switch with 16 ports with at least 8 POE ports that is a managed or smart switch.
So I am figured I would just connect two 8 POE port switches together...
I am new to this so any help is appreciated.

Search "DAC SFP" from Amazon.
DAC = Directly Attached Cable, a cable with SFP module on both ends. Short ones are copper, not fiber.
EDIT: Alas, the DAC is for 10Gbps SFP+, not for 1Gbps SFP.

The description of switch writes "fiber uplink". That looks like marketing speech. Check the real technical features/limitations.

You can get the user manual here:

Those SFP ports are for fiber, but require you to buy a fiber optic transceiver to use them. See page #26 of user guide.

3.1.2 SFP Slots
These are slots for Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers. A transceiver is a single unit
that houses a transmitter and a receiver. Use a transceiver to connect a fiber-optic cable to the
Switch. The Switch does not come with transceivers. You must use transceivers that comply with
the Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceiver MultiSource Agreement (MSA). See the SFF
committee’s INF-8074i specification Rev 1.0 for details.
You can change transceivers while the Switch is operating. You can use different transceivers to
connect to Ethernet switches with different types of fiber-optic connectors.
• Type: SFP connection interface
• Connection speed: 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps)
To avoid possible eye injury, do not look into an operating fiber-optic
module’s connectors.

Cheaper, does what you ask.

Why not just get a 24port Poe switch? Or regular switch plus Poe injector.
