Can single-mode optical modules be used for short distances
If your network requires long-distance transmission (over 550 meters), a single-mode optical module is the best choice. Single-mode modules offer higher bandwidth capabilities, making them suitable for high-speed data. Anyone know if that's doable, based on the equipment (switches) that support single-mode? A lot of N-Trons I'm familiar with require a min operating distance of 2 km but wondering if there are others out there that support short runs? Typically any optic (sfp) that is rated for 10km will work for. The single mode SFP generally uses high-cost FP and DFB lasers with long wavelengths to optimize.
