The Strength of Long Distance Transmission: 10G SFP+ ZR 120KM Optical Module

  • July 21. 2025

When building an efficient and stable network architecture, the 10G SFP+ optical module 120km version stands out with its unique highlights and becomes a powerful assistant in the field of long-distance communication. In response to this, ETU-Link launched the 10G SFP+ 1550nm dual-fiber optical module, which uses an LC single-mode optical fiber interface with a maximum transmission distance of up to 120 kilometers, perfectly meeting the high-bandwidth requirements of metropolitan area networks, data center interconnection and other scenarios. Its 1550nm wavelength characteristics ensure the stable transmission of signals in single-mode optical fibers, which is a reliable guarantee for long-distance communications.


1. 10G SFP+ Dual-Fiber Optical Module Overview

10G SFP+ dual-fiber optical module is an optical communication device widely used in 10G Ethernet, Fiber Channel and SDH/SONET network environments. It adopts SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) package, supports 10Gbps data transmission rate, and realizes the transmission (TX) and reception (RX) of optical signals through duplex LC interface. Compared with single-fiber optical module, it uses two optical fibers (one for transmission and one for reception), has strong compatibility and flexible deployment, and is suitable for short, medium and long distance transmission needs.


2. 10G SFP+ 120KM Optical Module Advantages and Applications

ETU-Link 10G SFP+ 120KM dual-fiber optical module is its ultra-long transmission distance of up to 120 kilometers. Whether it is connecting office networks in different cities, realizing cross-regional resource sharing and collaborative work, or being used for data backup and synchronization between remote data centers, it can easily do the job, greatly expanding the coverage of the network and breaking the limitations of geographical space.



Core advantages:

1) Ultra-low power consumption: <1.5W (commercial), reducing energy and cooling costs.
2) Long distance: Using 1550nm EML transmitter + APD receiver, the transmission distance can reach 120km via single mode fiber (SMF).
3) Wide temperature range: Commercial (0–70°C), Extended (-20–85°C), Industrial (-40–85°C).
4) The metal housing and low EMI minimize interference and are RoHS compliant.


In addition to the above core advantages, compatibility is also a highlight. It can be seamlessly connected with many mainstream brands of network equipment, whether it is a switch, router or server, it can achieve plug-and-play, greatly simplifying the network deployment process, reducing equipment procurement and maintenance costs, and improving network flexibility and scalability. The main key applications are as follows:


1) Metro/backbone links: 10G Ethernet, 10G ZR/ZW, SONET/SDH – reliable up to 120km transmission distance.
2) Data Center Interconnect
3) Remote or harsh environment links (e.g. edge nodes, utility/industrial)



3. 10G SFP+ 120KM Dual Fiber Optical Module Customer Benefits

1) Simplified network design: 120 km transmission distance without additional amplifiers, reducing failure points.
2) Cost savings: Fewer active components and lower energy consumption reduce operating costs.
3) Higher reliability: Wide temperature support and real-time diagnostic functions ensure that 10G can operate stably in any location.


As a professional optical module manufacturer, ETU-Link provides high-quality process standards and strict quality control for its products. The module is encapsulated in a metal shell to effectively reduce electromagnetic interference. The 10G SFP+ 1550nm 120KM dual-fiber optical module is one of its many excellent products. With its advantages of ultra-long transmission, high speed and stability, strong compatibility, low power consumption and high reliability, it has become an excellent choice for long-distance communication and creates an efficient, stable and reliable network environment.
