fiber between switches

Design

I need to connect 2 Unifi USW Pro Max 24 PoE switches and want to use 10G fiber. The switches are about 80ft apart in a straight line so I'm ordering a 120ft patch cable to have a little slack and to account for any path deviations above the drop ceiling.

I have very little experience with fiber so would just like to make sure these are compatible and will work:

10GBase-SR SFP+ LC Transceiver: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09XQT83BR
