Cisco SFP for single-strand single mode connection over 10km

Question

Is it possible using only Cisco equipment to link two sites approximately 15km apart using only one single mode fiber strand.

What about using regular dual-strand optics with a circulator? (see thorlabs.de/newgrouppage9.cfm?objectgroup_id=373) — petrus, May 1 '13 at 10:53

I don't think so. All of the single-strand fiber SFP's from Cisco that I know of are limited to 10km.

The older SFPs are limited to 10KM, however see the list below for longer distance.

These are single mode transceivers, but they are not single strand. – longneck Apr 30 '13 at 13:26
