100Base FX SFP Module | 1310nm, LC, SM

100Base-FX SFP Module for 1310nm Singlemode Fiber

The VERSITRON FE10SM provides a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet fiber interface for networks using 1310nm singlemode fiber. With a maximum transmission distance of 10 kilometers, this SFP module is well suited for applications where Ethernet connectivity needs to extend beyond the normal distance limitations of copper cabling.

The FE10SM uses an LC connector and provides a standardized fiber interface for compatible networking equipment. Its singlemode fiber capability makes it particularly useful for longer-distance connections between network locations, buildings, facilities, and remote equipment.

Reliable Fiber Connectivity in an SFP Form Factor

The FE10SM uses an industry-standard Small Form Pluggable (SFP) design for flexible network deployment. The module is hot-pluggable, allowing it to be installed or replaced without requiring extensive network hardware changes.

The module operates from a 3.3V single power supply and includes a TTL signal detect indicator. Its Class 1 laser complies with EN 60825-1, providing a standardized optical interface for compatible equipment.

FE10SM 100Base-FX SFP Specifications

These specifications are based on the VERSITRON Fiber Optic SFP Modules datasheet.

Typical Applications

The FE10SM 100Base-FX SFP module is suitable for:

• Enterprise Networks – Extend Fast Ethernet connectivity between network locations.
• Campus Networks – Connect buildings and facilities using singlemode fiber.
• Building-to-Building Connectivity – Provide reliable fiber links between separate buildings.
• Telecommunications Networks – Integrate Fast Ethernet equipment with singlemode fiber infrastructure.
• Industrial Networks – Extend compatible Ethernet connections using fiber optic cabling.
• Security & Surveillance – Connect network equipment over longer fiber distances.
• Network Upgrades – Add a 100Base-FX singlemode fiber interface to compatible SFP equipment.
• Remote Site Connectivity – Extend Ethernet connectivity to remote network locations.

FE10SM vs. 100Base-FX Multimode SFP Modules

VERSITRON offers several 100Base-FX SFP modules for different fiber requirements.

The FE10SM is specifically designed for 1310nm singlemode fiber and distances up to 10km. By comparison, the FE2MM uses 1310nm multimode fiber for distances up to 2km, while the FEMM uses 850nm multimode fiber for distances up to 2km.

This makes the FE10SM the appropriate choice when a compatible SFP interface requires 100Mbps Fast Ethernet over singlemode fiber with a 10km reach.

Choosing the Right VERSITRON SFP Module

When selecting an SFP transceiver, consider:

• Network speed – 100Mbps, 1Gbps, or 10Gbps
• Fiber type – Multimode or singlemode
• Wavelength – Such as 850nm, 1310nm, or 1550nm
• Transmission distance – The FE10SM supports up to 10km
• Connector type – The FE10SM uses an LC connector
• Equipment compatibility – Verify that the networking equipment supports the required SFP type

VERSITRON's SFP portfolio includes 100Mbps, 1000Mbps, and 10Gbps modules, with multimode and singlemode options and transmission distances extending up to 100km for applicable models.
