MuxLab IMU-500970-SM10 - 10Km Singlemode SFP Module, 1310nm
The MuxLab 500970-SM10 is a high-performance SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver module designed to establish reliable, high-speed network connections over fiber optic cable. This module is the ideal solution for extending Gigabit Ethernet links over long distances by converting an electrical signal into an optical signal and vice versa. Specifically developed to operate with single-mode fiber, it enables stable, degradation-free data transmission up to a maximum distance of 10 kilometers, making it a critical component for enterprise networks, data centers, and telecommunications applications.
Thanks to its standardized design and hot-pluggable capability, the 500970-SM10 can be installed or replaced in compatible switches, routers, and other network devices without powering down the equipment, ensuring maximum system availability. It operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm, optimized for long-distance transmissions with minimal attenuation, and uses duplex LC connectors, the industry standard for high-density fiber optic connections.

Product benefits
The MuxLab 500970-SM10 SFP module offers a flexible and cost-effective solution for network expansion. It allows network administrators and systems integrators to overcome the distance limitations of traditional copper cabling, connecting distant buildings, campuses, or branch offices with gigabit bandwidth. Its plug-and-play nature greatly simplifies installation and maintenance, reducing downtime and operating costs. By using an SFP module, the network infrastructure can be easily adapted and scaled by changing modules according to distance or fiber type requirements without having to replace the entire switch or router.
Use cases
This transceiver is perfect for a wide range of professional applications, including:
- Extension of corporate LAN networks between different buildings or floors.
- Backbone connections in data centers.
- Internet service provider (ISP) networks for signal distribution.
- IP video surveillance systems that require long-range links for security cameras.
- Telecommunications infrastructure and metropolitan area networks (MANs).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an SFP module?
An SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) module is a compact, modular transceiver that plugs into an SFP port on a network switch or other device to provide fiber optic or copper connectivity.
Do I need a couple of these modules to establish a connection?
Yes, a module is generally needed at each end of the fiber optic cable to establish a communication link. Both modules must be compatible in terms of wavelength and fiber type.
Is this module compatible with equipment from other brands?
Yes, the MuxLab 500970-SM10 is designed to be compatible with the MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) standard, allowing it to work on most network devices that accept generic SFP modules, such as switches, routers, and media converters.
What type of fiber optic cable should I use with this module?
You must use a single-mode fiber optic cable (SMF) terminated with duplex LC connectors.
