The Omada SM321A is a 1000BASE-BX bi-directional SFP module that carries Gigabit over a single strand of single-mode fiber, up to 20 km. It halves the fiber you need for a link, which matters when strands are scarce or expensive to pull.
Built for single-strand fiber links
The module transmits at 1550 nm and receives at 1310 nm through an LC simplex connector, so each direction uses its own wavelength on one strand. BiDi modules work as a pair: pair this module with the SM321B at the far end. It is hot-swappable, reports link health through Digital Diagnostic Monitoring, and follows the SFP Multi-Source Agreement.
Key features
- One fiber strand, up to 20 km on 9/125 µm single-mode
- TX 1550 nm / RX 1310 nm: pair it with the SM321B at the far end
- Hot-swappable: install or replace with the host running
- DDM support for monitoring the optical link
System requirements
A Gigabit SFP slot on a switch or router, single-mode fiber with LC connectors, and the matching SM321B BiDi module at the other end of the link.
