1000Base-LX SFP Module for Multimode Fiber
The GB2MM SFP module provides a 1000Mbps fiber optic interface for Gigabit Ethernet networks using 1310nm multimode fiber. With an LC connector and a specified transmission distance of up to 2 kilometers, it provides a practical fiber connectivity option for extending Gigabit Ethernet networks.
The GB2MM can be used with compatible VERSITRON switches, media converters, and other networking equipment equipped with an SFP slot. Its modular design allows the fiber interface to be selected according to the speed, fiber type, wavelength, connector, and distance required by the network.
Flexible Gigabit Fiber Connectivity
SFP technology provides network designers with flexibility when deploying fiber optic equipment. Instead of being limited to a permanently installed fiber interface, an SFP-enabled device can use a compatible transceiver selected for the specific fiber infrastructure.
The GB2MM is designed specifically for 1000Base-LX operation over 1310nm multimode fiber, making it well suited for Gigabit Ethernet connections where a longer multimode fiber reach is required.
For networks requiring different distances or fiber types, VERSITRON offers a range of additional 1000Mbps SFP modules, including multimode and singlemode options.
Hot-Pluggable SFP Design
The GB2MM uses an industry-standard Small Form Pluggable (SFP) form factor. Its hot-pluggable design allows the module to be installed or replaced in compatible equipment without requiring the entire network device to be replaced.
VERSITRON SFP modules incorporate a single 3.3V power supply, TTL signal detect indication, and Class 1 laser technology compliant with EN 60825-1.
GB2MM Fiber Specifications
| Specification | GB2MM |

| Data Rate | 1000Mbps |
| Fiber Standard | 1000Base-LX |
| Wavelength | 1310nm |
| Fiber Type | Multimode Fiber |
| Maximum Distance | 2km |
| Connector | LC |
| TX Power | -9 to -1 dBm |
| RX Sensitivity | < -19 dBm |

These specifications are based on the VERSITRON Fiber Optic SFP Modules datasheet, which lists the GB2MM as a 1000Mbps, 1310nm multimode SFP with a 2km fiber distance and LC connector.
Typical Applications
The GB2MM can be used wherever compatible Gigabit Ethernet equipment needs a 1310nm multimode fiber connection.
Typical applications include:
- Enterprise Networks – Extend Gigabit Ethernet connections between network devices.
- Campus Networks – Connect network equipment across buildings and facilities.
- Industrial Networks – Provide fiber connectivity between switches and other network equipment.
- Security and Surveillance Networks – Connect compatible fiber-enabled networking equipment supporting IP cameras and other security devices.
- Data Centers – Provide fiber connectivity between compatible switches and network equipment.
- Network Expansion – Extend existing Ethernet infrastructure using multimode fiber.
- Media Converter Applications – Install the GB2MM in compatible media converters requiring a 1000Base-LX fiber interface.
Selecting the Right VERSITRON SFP Module
Choosing the appropriate SFP module depends on several factors, including network speed, fiber type, wavelength, transmission distance, and connector type.
For a 1Gbps application using 1310nm multimode fiber over distances up to 2km, the GB2MM provides a purpose-built solution.
VERSITRON's SFP product family also includes:
- 100Mbps multimode and singlemode SFP modules
- 1000Base-SX multimode modules
- 1000Mbps singlemode modules for distances from 10km to 100km
- 1000Mbps single-fiber bidirectional SFP modules
- 10Gbps multimode and singlemode SFP modules
- Specialized CWDM, DWDM, and DDM modules
This broad selection allows network designers to match the SFP to the actual requirements of the fiber link rather than replacing compatible network equipment.
Why Choose VERSITRON SFP Modules?
VERSITRON fiber optic SFP modules provide a flexible way to add or configure fiber connectivity in compatible network equipment. The modular SFP design allows network administrators to select the appropriate transceiver based on the required data rate, fiber type, wavelength, connector, and transmission distance.
The GB2MM is specifically suited to 1000Base-LX Gigabit Ethernet over 1310nm multimode fiber, with an LC connector and a 2km transmission distance.
VERSITRON also offers SFP modules for a wide range of 100Mbps, 1Gbps, and 10Gbps applications, including multimode, singlemode, and single-fiber configurations.

Client Testimonial
Reliable SFP Module for High-Speed Networking
We've been searching for a dependable SFP module for our vast infrastructure for quite a while. Our team discussed our project with the VERSITRON team, and they suggested installing the GB2MM SFP Module. With 1000 Mbps speed, this product is a perfect fit for us. To start with as a trial, we used them for a building-to-building project on our campus. We can say that it has lived up to its specifications and has helped in building a stable, high-speed connection that can handle data traffic efficiently without lag or downtime. The standard LC connector made the installation process very easy. Using a Multimode cable, this module operates at a wavelength of 1310nm and has worked outstandingly for our medium-distance link of about 2km. The signal strength has remained strong in this network, and thanks to its TX Power and RX Sensitivity ratings (-9 to -1 and <-19, respectively), it ensures reliable data transmission. Overall, the GB2MM SFP Module represents a cost-efficient and effective solution for anyone planning to extend their network using multimode fiber. I would highly recommend this module!May 21, 2024
