MuxLab IMU-500970-SM80 - 10G Singlemode SFP Module for 80km
The MuxLab IMU-500970-SM80 is a high-performance SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver module specifically designed for establishing long-distance fiber optic network connections. This module is the ideal solution for overcoming the distance limitations of copper cabling, enabling reliable, high-speed data transmission over single-mode fiber optic cable up to a maximum range of 80 kilometers. Its robust design and advanced technology ensure stable connectivity in even the most demanding network environments.
Utilizing a 1550 nm wavelength, optimized for long-distance transmission with minimal signal attenuation, this module supports data rates up to 10 Gbps . This makes it a key component for bandwidth-intensive applications such as data centers, metropolitan area networks (MANs), telecommunications infrastructure, and professional Audio/Video over IP (AV over IP) systems. Its standard SFP form factor ensures broad compatibility with a wide range of switches, routers, and network equipment that have compliant SFP ports.
Main features
-
Ultra Long Distance Connectivity: Enables stable and reliable fiber optic links over distances of up to 80 kilometers, ideal for interconnecting buildings, campuses or cities.

- Interconnection of corporate networks between different headquarters or offices.
- Backhaul links for Internet service providers (ISPs).
- Distribution of Audio and Video signals over IP in large facilities such as stadiums, airports and university campuses.
- Storage area network (SAN) connections and data replication between geographically dispersed data centers.
- Telecommunications infrastructure and fiber to the home (FTTH) networks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this module compatible with equipment from other brands?
Yes, MuxLab SFP modules are designed to comply with the Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) standard, ensuring compatibility with most switches, routers, and network devices that also adhere to this standard. However, it is recommended to check the compatibility list of your host equipment.
What type of fiber optic cable and connectors do I need?
This module requires a single-mode fiber optic cable and typically uses LC Duplex connectors, which is the standard for SFP transceivers in this category.
What does "hot-pluggable" mean?
This means you can connect or disconnect the SFP module from the network equipment port while it is running, without risk of damaging the module or the device. This allows for maintenance or upgrades without interrupting network service.
