Yes, with the new single-mode fiber adapters you can go up to 40 Km
between stations, if I am not mistaken.

Today's singlemode fiber support is for concentrator to concentrator
links only. We do not support singlemode connections for the DEC
FDDIcontroller 700. Likewise, the current bridge does not support
singlemode fiber, but the new bridge family will. And 40 km is the
supported distance.
