MMF vs SMF NIC. Issues with transmission over ~100 m.

First post in this community, so apologies if the question is extremely naive. We have a server with an Intel X520-SR2 MMF card with dual ports. We've noticed that we get many dropped packets and we think this is due to the distance over which we're transmitting.

We would like to exchange the card by a SMF NIC as I understand they do better over long distances. I would like to have a dual port SMF card, but I can't find any. Is the solution I'm proposing flawed in any obvious ways? Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.
