Single Mode SFP Transceiver Modules from PLANET
Network connections over single-mode fiber require a corresponding SFP module for single-mode. It is important to note that single-mode SFP modules offer high performance and reliability, but require the use of single-mode fiber optic cables. These cables are typically more expensive than multimode fiber optic cables, but offer higher bandwidth and lower attenuation, which in turn results in higher transmission speeds and greater transmission distance. They are therefore excellent for high-speed network connections over long distances. Therefore, PLANET's single mode SFP transceivers are typically used for long distances between 2km and 120km and operate at wavelengths of 1310nm and 1550nm, respectively.

Single Mode vs. Multi Mode SFP Modules
Singlemode SFP modules from PLANET Technology are designed for use with single-mode fiber optic cables and offer higher bandwidth and lower attenuation than multimode SFP modules. This results in a higher transmission speed and a much longer transmission distance. Therefore, single-mode SFP modules are ideal for businesses that need a fast and reliable network connection over long distances.

Multimode SFP modules, on the other hand, are designed for use with multimode fiber optic cables. They are more cost-effective than single-mode SFP modules. Multimode SFP modules are ideal for enterprises that require short to medium transmission distances. However, they offer lower bandwidth and higher attenuation than single-mode SFP modules.
