Is it possible to setup a geo cluster using a 10GB fibre connection between 2 datacenters ?

We have 4 Windows 2012R2 servers setup 2 by 2 in two separate clusters, each using Starwind for the high availability internal SAN solution.
On these servers some 40 virtual servers are active.
We would like to move the 2th server of each cluster to a second datacenter and setup a synchronous replication between the two datacenters.

We have a 10GB fibre connection between the two datacenters (ring structure with 10GB backup line)
The distance is about 50km and the delay on the interconnect is 1ms
In both datacenters we have a 1Gb internet connection.

Is this possible ?
Will this result in performance loss ?

Has anyone setup such a system before ?
