For home I just use the Multi-mode MM ( UF-MM-1G ) since its cheaper for regular SFP (not the +) ports. Then for cables on something like Amazon get some OM1 Multi-mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable (62.5/125) - LC to LC
Something like here. Select the length you require:

I'm assuming you just want to play with fiber so with that, pick up a couple of SFP fiber transceivers and some simple fiber with LC connectors. Something like this:
This is still only going to give you gigabit speed as that is all those switches can do, but you can play with the fiber. It will be just like using a normal ethernet cable but more expensive. For future stuff you can upgrade the fiber to OM4 for 10G and SFP to SFP+ also for 10G, but that will need a new switch as well as NIC.
You'd need 1G 850nm SFPs on both sides, (10G to 1G will not work) and a 1M LC to LC Multimode cable:

Not really sure if an SFP adapter will work in that SFP+ port
On a related note, are these components compatible?
I am not sure if all three bits will talk to each other.
Thank you.
edit: add the SFP I had in my shopping cart, but did not originally list

Thanks Ben, so UF-MM-1G would work in my case? I guess I would need 2x2packs to accomplish this. What about cabling? They would be 1m or less runs. What about: https://www.amazon.com/Meter-Multimode-Duplex-Fiber-Optic/dp/B004Z9301I/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1511893843&sr=8-3&keywords=LC+MM+cable
