10Gb SFP Module for 80km Singlemode Fiber
The VERSITRON 10GB80SM is a 10Gb Ethernet SFP module designed for high-speed, long-distance fiber optic networking. Operating at 1550nm over singlemode fiber, it supports transmission distances of up to 80 kilometers.
With its extended fiber reach, the 10GB80SM is designed for network connections where standard short-reach 10Gb SFP modules are not sufficient. It provides a practical solution for extending high-bandwidth Ethernet connectivity between geographically separated network locations.
Long-Distance 10Gb Fiber Connectivity
The 10GB80SM combines 10Gbps Ethernet performance with an 80km singlemode fiber transmission distance, making it the longest-distance 10Gb SFP module currently listed in the VERSITRON product datasheet.
This makes the module particularly useful for backbone and infrastructure connections where high bandwidth and extended fiber distance are both required.
The 1550nm wavelength is paired with singlemode fiber for long-distance transmission, while the LC connector provides a standard fiber interface for compatible networking equipment.

Designed for Extended-Reach Network Backbones
Many network applications require more than simply adding bandwidth. They also require that bandwidth to be delivered across significant distances.
The 10GB80SM is designed for applications where 10Gbps connectivity must extend up to 80km over singlemode fiber. This makes it appropriate for long-distance connections between network switches, aggregation points, buildings, campuses, and other compatible fiber optic networking equipment.
Typical Applications
- Long-Distance Network Backbones – Connect network infrastructure across extended fiber distances.
- Telecommunications Networks – Support high-speed Ethernet connectivity across long fiber routes.
- Campus Network Connections – Connect facilities separated by significant distances.
- Data Center Interconnects – Provide high-bandwidth fiber connectivity between network locations.
- Enterprise Network Infrastructure – Extend 10Gbps connectivity between remote network segments.
- Government and Institutional Networks – Support long-distance fiber connections between facilities.
- High-Bandwidth Applications – Provide 10Gbps transmission where extended fiber reach is required.
Hot-Pluggable SFP Design
The 10GB80SM uses an industry-standard Small Form Pluggable (SFP) form factor and supports hot-plugging for convenient installation and replacement. VERSITRON's SFP modules use LC fiber connectors, a single 3.3V power supply, and a TTL signal-detect indicator.
The module also uses a Class 1 laser compliant with EN 60825-1.
Compare VERSITRON 10Gb SFP Modules
VERSITRON offers three 10Gb SFP options for different fiber types and transmission distances:
| Model | Wavelength | Fiber | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10GBMM | 850nm | Multimode | Up to 300m* |
| 10GB10SM | 1310nm | Singlemode | 10km |
| 10GB40SM | 1550nm | Singlemode | 40km |
| 10GB80SM | 1550nm | Singlemode | 80km |
The VERSITRON datasheet identifies the 10GBMM, 10GB10SM, 10GB40SM, and 10GB80SM as its 10Gb fiber optic SFP models. The 10GB80SM provides the 80km extended-distance option.
*For the 10GBMM, the datasheet lists distances of 30m over 62.5µm multimode fiber, 80m over 50µm multimode fiber, and 300m over OM3.
