Go for 50 micron optical connection.

With 50-micron cables, port-to-port fiber distances can exceed 200 m, and with 62.5-micron cables, port-to-port fiber distances go up to 75 m. One Pluggable Optical Module (POM) is needed for each port involved in the connection; so, one switch-to-switch connection would require two POMs. The POMs can be ordered directly from vendors such as Emcore or Fujitsu.
