The S-31DLC20D is listed on both compatibility charts for those switches. Using the regular LC/LC single mode fiber you chose should work fine. Have you considered using a bent fiber channel to accommodate any extra slack?

The uncertainty is low, but 10 meters of slack might still matter depending on the situation.

Ensure smooth transitions without sharp bends in the fiber paths; this keeps performance optimal. You don’t have to invest in costly panels—just use round, gentle edges for wrapping the fibers to maintain signal quality. As long as the layout follows a natural curve, everything should work well. Avoid any abrupt 90-degree turns.
