The Omada ISM321A-20 is an industrial 1000BASE-BX bi-directional SFP module that carries Gigabit traffic over a single strand of single-mode fiber, up to 20 km. It is rated for -40°F to 185°F, so it works in outdoor cabinets and unconditioned enclosures.

Built for hard-to-reach fiber links

It transmits at 1550 nm and receives at 1310 nm over 9/125 µm single-mode fiber with an LC simplex connector. Run it against a partner module with Tx 1310 nm and Rx 1550 nm at the far end. It is hot-swappable, supports DDM and follows SFP-MSA.

Key features

  • One fiber strand up to 20 km at 1.25 Gbps
  • Industrial temperature range: -40°F to 185°F (-40°C to 85°C)
  • LC simplex, Tx 1550 nm / Rx 1310 nm 1000BASE-BX optics
  • Hot-swappable: install or replace with the switch running
  • DDM support for monitoring the optical link

System requirements

A Gigabit SFP slot on a switch or router, and one strand of 9/125 µm single-mode fiber with LC connectors. The far end needs a bi-directional module with Tx 1310 nm and Rx 1550 nm.

FAQs

How far can the ISM321A-20 run?
Up to 20 km over 9/125 µm single-mode fiber.
How many fiber strands does it need?
One. It is a bi-directional module with an LC simplex connector.
What goes at the far end?
A bi-directional module with Tx 1310 nm and Rx 1550 nm, so each transmit wavelength meets the matching receive wavelength.
What temperature range does it handle?
Operating temperature is -40°F to 185°F (-40°C to 85°C).
Can I swap it without powering down the switch?
Yes. The ISM321A-20 is hot-swappable.
