How many kilometers should the optical module be selected for

Long-distance variants, typically referred to as LX, EX, ZX, or ER/LR SFPs, are engineered with higher optical power budgets and longer wavelength lasers (e., 1310nm, 1550nm), enabling transmission distances from 10 km up to 80 km or more over single-mode fiber (SMF). SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) modules are standardized network transceivers that support a range of data rates (1G, 10G, 25G) and fiber types. Common distance ranges include short-reach (up to 100m), medium-reach (up to 10km), long-reach (up to 40km), and extended-reach (80km+). The fiber type and wavelength. At a wavelength of 850nm, a 100M optical module can transmit up to 2km, a 1G can transmit up to 550m, a 10G can transmit up to 300m, a 40G can transmit up to 400m, and 100G and 400G can transmit up to 100m. 1310nm: The attenuation of optical fiber at 1310nm is approximately 0. When. If the optical module works at a wavelength near 850nm (880nm) or 910nm (940nm), then the module is a multi-mode fiber (MMF) optical transceiver, and if the working wavelength is 1310nm or 1550nm, it is a single-mode fiber (SMF)optical module. This is adequate to cover campus backbones or metropolitan network traverses. ER (Extended Reach) modules perform a 1550nm wavelength transmission over.
