1000Base-SX SFP Module for Multimode Fiber

The GBMM SFP module provides a 1000Mbps fiber optic interface for Gigabit Ethernet networks using 850nm multimode fiber. Its LC connector provides a standard fiber interface for compatible network switches, media converters, and other equipment with SFP slots.

The GBMM is designed for short- to medium-distance Gigabit fiber links and supports up to 550 meters over 50µm multimode fiber. When used with 62.5µm multimode fiber, the maximum specified distance is 220 meters.

Flexible Fiber Connectivity for Gigabit Networks

SFP technology allows network administrators to select the appropriate fiber transceiver based on the required fiber type, wavelength, connector, and transmission distance.

The GBMM is specifically designed for 1000Base-SX applications over 850nm multimode fiber, making it a practical choice for Gigabit Ethernet connections within buildings, equipment rooms, campuses, and other network environments where multimode fiber is already installed.

Because the fiber interface is provided through an SFP module, the same compatible networking platform can support different fiber configurations by selecting the appropriate VERSITRON SFP.

Hot-Pluggable SFP Design

The GBMM uses an industry-standard Small Form Pluggable (SFP) design and is hot-pluggable, allowing the module to be installed or replaced without requiring the network equipment to be completely removed from service.

The VERSITRON SFP platform also incorporates differential LVPECL inputs and outputs, a 3.3V single power supply, and a TTL signal detect indicator. The modules use Class 1 lasers compliant with EN 60825-1.

When to Use a 1000Base-SX Multimode SFP

The GBMM is a good fit when you need to connect compatible Gigabit Ethernet equipment over an existing multimode fiber infrastructure.

Typical applications include:

• Enterprise Networks – Extend Gigabit Ethernet between network switches and other equipment.
• Data Centers – Provide short-distance fiber connectivity between compatible networking devices.
• Campus Networks – Connect buildings and network distribution points using multimode fiber.
• Industrial Networks – Provide fiber connectivity where electrical isolation and EMI/RFI immunity are beneficial.
• Security and Surveillance Networks – Connect fiber-enabled switches and network equipment supporting IP video systems.
• Network Upgrades – Add Gigabit fiber connectivity to existing multimode fiber infrastructure.
• Media Converter Applications – Install the GBMM in compatible VERSITRON media converters to provide the required fiber interface.

VERSITRON SFP Modules for Different Network Requirements

The GBMM is one of several fiber optic SFP options available from VERSITRON. The product family includes 100Mbps, 1000Mbps, and 10Gbps modules, with multimode and singlemode configurations and transmission distances ranging from short multimode connections to 100km singlemode links.

For example, the 1000Mbps family includes multimode modules for 850nm and 1310nm applications as well as singlemode modules supporting 20km, 40km, 70km, and 100km distances. Bidirectional single-fiber options are also available.

This gives network designers the ability to select an SFP based on the actual speed, fiber type, wavelength, connector, and distance required by the application.

Why Choose VERSITRON SFP Modules?

VERSITRON SFP modules provide a flexible way to configure fiber optic network equipment for the specific requirements of a project. Rather than being limited to a fixed fiber interface, SFP-enabled equipment can use the appropriate transceiver for the required fiber type and transmission distance.

The GBMM provides a straightforward solution for 1000Base-SX Gigabit Ethernet over 850nm multimode fiber, with LC connectivity and transmission distances up to 550 meters on 50µm multimode fiber.

VERSITRON also offers specialized SFP options for longer distances, singlemode fiber, single-fiber bidirectional transmission, CWDM, DWDM, and DDM applications.
