Home / Optical modules can be used over short distances

A Short Range SFP module is a type of optical transceiver designed to transmit Ethernet data over relatively short distances using multimode fiber (MMF). An SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) module transmits data over fiber using specific wavelengths and power levels, which directly influence how far the signal can travel before degradation occurs. This is why two modules with the same form factor can have dramatically different ranges—some limited. This article explores the differences between long-range and short-range 10G modules, when to use each type, and how FS products can help you build the right network infrastructure. They are commonly used in telecommunications and data centers to connect network devices over large geographical areas.
