10Gb Ethernet SFP Module for Multimode Fiber
The VERSITRON 10GBMM is a 10Gb Ethernet fiber optic SFP module designed to provide high-speed connectivity over multimode fiber. Operating at an 850nm wavelength with an LC connector, the module is suited for compatible 10Gb networking equipment used in enterprise networks, data centers, campus networks, and other high-bandwidth applications.
Multimode fiber provides a practical solution for shorter-distance 10Gb network connections. The 10GBMM supports several common multimode fiber configurations, allowing network designers to select the appropriate fiber based on the required transmission distance.
Flexible Multimode Fiber Distances
One of the advantages of the 10GBMM is its compatibility with multiple multimode fiber types.
| Multimode Fiber | Maximum Distance |
|---|---|
| 62.5µm MMF | 30m |
| 50µm MMF | 80m |
| OM3 MMF | 300m |
These distances and the 850nm operating wavelength are specified in the VERSITRON Fiber Optic SFP Modules datasheet.
This makes the 10GBMM particularly useful for short- and medium-distance 10Gb fiber links, including connections within data centers, equipment rooms, enterprise facilities, and campus environments.

Designed for High-Bandwidth Network Connections
As networks move more data between switches, servers, storage systems, and other devices, 10Gb Ethernet provides significantly greater bandwidth than traditional Gigabit connections.
The 10GBMM provides a fiber-based 10Gb connectivity option for installations where multimode fiber is appropriate. Its compact pluggable design allows the module to be installed in compatible networking equipment without requiring a separate media converter.
The module is also hot-pluggable, uses a single 3.3V power supply, and includes a TTL signal detect indicator. The VERSITRON datasheet specifies a Class 1 laser compliant with EN 60825-1.
Typical Applications
The VERSITRON 10GBMM is well suited for:
- Data Center Networks – High-speed connections between switches, servers, and other network equipment.
- Enterprise Networks – 10Gb backbone and aggregation connections within buildings.
- Campus Networks – High-bandwidth connections between network equipment across campus facilities.
- Server and Storage Networks – High-speed connections for data-intensive applications.
- Network Upgrades – Add 10Gb fiber connectivity to compatible networking equipment.
- Security and Surveillance Networks – Support high-bandwidth video and data traffic.
- Telecommunications Equipment – Provide short-distance 10Gb multimode fiber connectivity.
- Enterprise Wiring Closets – Connect compatible 10Gb switches and network equipment.
10Gb Multimode SFP for Data Centers and Enterprise Networks
The 10GBMM is particularly useful when a network already uses multimode fiber and requires an upgrade to 10Gbps Ethernet. With support for OM3 fiber distances up to 300 meters, it can provide high-speed connectivity throughout many equipment rooms, data center environments, and building-level network installations.
For longer fiber distances, VERSITRON also offers 10Gb singlemode SFP modules. The 10GB10SM, for example, operates at 1310nm over singlemode fiber and supports distances up to 10km.
VERSITRON Fiber Optic SFP Modules
The 10GBMM is part of VERSITRON's broader family of fiber optic SFP modules. The product family includes 100Mbps, 1Gbps, and 10Gbps modules with multimode and singlemode fiber options and different transmission distances.
The VERSITRON SFP family also includes options for longer-distance singlemode applications, including 20km, 40km, 70km, 80km, and 100km Gigabit modules, as well as 40km and 80km 10Gb modules.
