Product description
TP-Link's TL-SM321A-2 module is designed to work with the TL-SM321B-2 module to create a Gigabit network connection over a single fiber optic cable, with a maximum distance of up to 20 kilometers, using WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology that transmits data in opposite directions through different wavelengths (TX: 1550 nm, RX: 1310 nm) on a Single-Mode fiber optic cable with a size of 9/125 μm, reducing installation costs and improving performance in long-distance network systems such as branch office connections, data centers, or remote CCTV systems. The module supports real-time operational status monitoring via the DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitoring) feature, hot-swappable module replacement, and the SFP-MSA standard, enabling immediate compatibility with any switch or network device supporting SFP.
More features
- Supports SFP-MSA standard for compatibility with multiple device models.
- Designed for industrial network environments.
- Operates in temperatures from 0–70 °C.
- Uses 3.3 V power for energy efficiency.
- Compact size and lightweight for easy installation.
Pros and limitations
Pros

Frequently asked questions about this product
Compiled from manufacturer information
What switch models is the TL-SM321A-2 module compatible with?
This module supports devices that comply with the SFP-MSA standard, particularly TP-Link switches with SFP ports such as Omada Series, TL-SG3424, TL-SG3410, etc. It can be used immediately if an SFP port is available.
Can this module be used with a single fiber optic cable?
Yes, the TL-SM321A-2 module is designed to work with the TL-SM321B-2 module over a single fiber optic cable, transmitting data in opposite directions using different wavelengths (1550 nm and 1310 nm), significantly reducing fiber usage.
What is the maximum distance supported by this module?
This module supports a maximum transmission distance of up to 20 kilometers over a Single-Mode fiber optic cable with a size of 9/125 μm, making it ideal for connecting branch offices or data centers located far apart.
Does this module have a feature to monitor its condition?
Yes, this module supports the DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitoring) feature, allowing real-time monitoring of operational status such as temperature, voltage, transmit/receive optical power through the network or management software.
Must a matching module be used for it to work?
Yes, this module must be used in conjunction with the TL-SM321B-2 module, which has the opposite wavelength (TX: 1310 nm, RX: 1550 nm), to enable Full-Duplex communication over a single fiber, ensuring complete functionality.
How much power does this module use?
This module uses 3.3 V power, which is standard for most SFP modules, requiring no additional equipment. It supports hot-swappable operation without shutting down the device.
Can it be used in industrial environments?
Yes, this module supports an operating temperature of 0–70 °C and humidity of 10–90% RH non-condensing, making it suitable for use in offices, data centers, or harsh environments.
