The Omada SM321B 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 1310 nm and receives at 1550 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 SM321A 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 1310 nm / RX 1550 nm: pair it with the SM321A 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 SM321A BiDi module at the other end of the link.

FAQs

How far can the SM321B run?
Up to 20 km over 9/125 µm single-mode fiber, on a single strand.
What do I pair the SM321B with?
The SM321A at the far end. BiDi modules work in matched pairs with opposite TX and RX wavelengths.
Does it work with multimode fiber?
No. It is a single-mode module. Multimode runs need a multimode SFP.
Can I swap it without powering down?
Yes. The SM321B is hot-swappable.
