Product Overview
The EtherWAN SFPGIS90C 90km Gigabit Single-Mode SFP Transceiver provides long-distance optical Ethernet connectivity for compatible network switches and SFP-enabled equipment. Designed for 1 Gbps communication over 9/125-micron single-mode fiber, this module uses a duplex LC connector and a 1550 nm optical wavelength to support rated links up to 90 kilometers. With Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM), a 27 dB optical link budget, and a 0°C to +70°C operating temperature range, the SFPGIS90C is suited to long-reach fiber network designs requiring verified optical performance and diagnostic capabilities.
The EtherWAN SFPGIS90C is a non-hardened Gigabit Ethernet Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) fiber optic transceiver for long-distance single-mode network connections. EtherWAN specifies 9/125-micron single-mode fiber, a duplex LC optical connector, a nominal wavelength of 1550 nm, and a maximum rated transmission distance of 90 km (approximately 55.9 miles). Manufacturer-listed optical output power is 0 to +5 dBm, receiver sensitivity is -27 dBm, and the nominal optical link budget is 27 dB. The module supports Digital Diagnostic Monitoring and operates from 0°C to +70°C (32°F to 158°F). EtherWAN's SFP Series documentation specifies a +3.3V power supply, SFP Multi-Source Agreement compliance, Class 1 laser safety, and RoHS compliance. Actual transmission distance depends on fiber attenuation, splices, connectors, operating margins, and compatible equipment at both ends of the link. The module uses a duplex two-fiber connection rather than a single-fiber bidirectional arrangement. Coremicro supplies professional networking equipment and accessories, including EtherWAN transceivers, for compatible networking applications.
Up to 90 km Single-Mode Fiber Reach
The SFPGIS90C is rated for Gigabit Ethernet transmission distances up to 90 kilometers over 9/125-micron single-mode optical fiber. This extended reach makes the module relevant for connecting compatible networking equipment across long fiber routes. Actual achievable distance depends on the installed fiber's attenuation, connector and splice losses, and the available optical power budget rather than distance alone.
1550 nm Long-Reach Optical Transmission
The module uses a nominal 1550 nm optical wavelength for single-mode fiber communication. This wavelength is commonly used in long-distance optical infrastructure, where fiber attenuation and link engineering are important considerations. Both ends of the connection must use compatible wavelengths, optical characteristics, data rates, and SFP host interfaces.
Duplex LC Fiber Optic Interface
The SFPGIS90C features a duplex LC connector for separate transmit and receive fiber paths. Unlike a single-LC BiDi transceiver, this module uses a conventional two-fiber arrangement with suitable single-mode patch cords. Installers should verify connector compatibility, fiber polarity, cable condition, and both optical endpoints before commissioning the connection.
1 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet SFP Connectivity
The SFPGIS90C is designed for Gigabit Ethernet operation through a compatible SFP host. Its modular transceiver form factor allows supported Ethernet switches and networking devices to establish an optical connection over long-distance fiber infrastructure. This is a 1 Gbps SFP module rather than a 10 Gigabit SFP+ transceiver, and host compatibility must be confirmed before installation.
Digital Diagnostic Monitoring Support
Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) provides transceiver diagnostic functionality when supported by the connected networking equipment. Depending on the host interface, available readings can assist with checking module operating conditions and investigating optical link performance. DDM availability through the switch's management system depends on the host device and its supported monitoring features.
27 dB Optical Link Budget
EtherWAN specifies optical transmit power from 0 to +5 dBm and receiver sensitivity of -27 dBm, resulting in a nominal 27 dB link budget based on the minimum transmit output. This information helps engineers evaluate the allowable optical losses of a planned fiber connection. Fiber attenuation, splices, connectors, receiver input limits, and an appropriate engineering margin must be considered when designing the complete link.

What is the EtherWAN SFPGIS90C used for?
The EtherWAN SFPGIS90C is a long-reach Gigabit Ethernet SFP optical transceiver designed for compatible networking equipment. It supports single-mode fiber connections using a duplex LC connector, a nominal 1550 nm optical wavelength, and a manufacturer-rated maximum transmission distance of 90 km.
Can the SFPGIS90C transmit Gigabit Ethernet over 90 kilometers?
EtherWAN rates the SFPGIS90C for transmission distances up to 90 km over 9/125-micron single-mode fiber. Actual operating distance depends on fiber attenuation, connector and splice losses, compatible transceivers, and whether the complete optical link stays within the available power budget.
What fiber cable and optical connector does SFPGIS90C require?
The SFPGIS90C uses 9/125-micron single-mode fiber and a duplex LC optical connector. Its duplex configuration uses separate transmit and receive fiber paths rather than a single-strand bidirectional connection. The installed fiber route and remote transceiver must be compatible with the module's optical specifications.
What are the optical power and link budget specifications of SFPGIS90C?
EtherWAN specifies optical output power from 0 to +5 dBm, receiver sensitivity of -27 dBm, and a nominal 27 dB optical link budget for SFPGIS90C. Network engineers must account for total fiber loss, connector attenuation, splices, receiver input limits, and an appropriate design margin when planning the connection.
Does the EtherWAN SFPGIS90C support Digital Diagnostic Monitoring?
Yes. EtherWAN lists Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) support for the SFPGIS90C. Compatible networking equipment may expose available diagnostic information through its monitoring interface. The readings and management functions depend on the connected SFP host.
Is SFPGIS90C a hardened industrial SFP transceiver?
No. EtherWAN classifies SFPGIS90C as a non-hardened Gigabit SFP with an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. It is not rated for the -40°C to +85°C temperature range of EtherWAN's hardened SFP models. Confirm the environmental conditions of the installed network equipment before using the module.
Can SFPGIS90C work in any SFP port or with a BiDi transceiver?
No universal compatibility should be assumed. SFPGIS90C requires a supported Gigabit SFP host and a remote transceiver with suitable duplex single-mode optical characteristics. A single-LC BiDi module uses a different fiber arrangement and is not automatically interchangeable with this duplex LC transceiver.
