SFP & SFP+ Fiber Modules

SFP and SFP+ fiber transceiver modules plug into the uplink ports on UniFi switches and gateways, converting electrical signals to optical signals for transmission over fiber optic cable. They are essential components for connecting network closets across floors, wings, and buildings.

In security network designs, fiber uplinks keep backbone traffic separate from the copper access layer where cameras and readers connect. A 10G SFP+ uplink between an IDF switch and the MDF core prevents the aggregated traffic from dozens of cameras from bottlenecking at the closet-to-closet connection.

Vidimost supplies matched SFP modules as part of every security network project in Chicago that involves fiber infrastructure. We verify compatibility with your existing fiber type and ensure clean optical connections during installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need single-mode or multi-mode SFP modules? +
Multi-mode (typically with OM3 or OM4 fiber) is standard for in-building runs under 300 meters. Single-mode handles longer distances between buildings. Match the module type to whatever fiber cable is already installed in your building.
Should I use Ubiquiti SFP modules or third-party? +
Ubiquiti SFP modules are guaranteed compatible with UniFi switches and gateways. Third-party modules may work but are not officially supported and can cause link issues. For production security networks, Vidimost recommends genuine Ubiquiti modules.
