TP-LINK SM321B-VER4 | 1000Base-BX WDM Bi-Directional SFP Module (1310nm TX / 1550nm RX) - 20KM
For orders placed before 12:00 on a business day; weekends excluded
Dual-fiber WDM SFP module for Single-Mode fiber optic networks, supporting up to 20 km transmission distance using a single fiber in both directions, with DDM and Hot Swappable features
Key features
- Supports up to 20 km transmission distance over Single-Mode fiber
- Uses a single fiber in both directions via WDM Bi-Directional technology
- Supports DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitoring) for real-time status monitoring
- Designed for Hot Swappable operation without powering down the device
- Compliant with SFP-MSA and IEEE 802.3z standards
Product description
The TP-LINK SM321B-VER4 is a WDM Bi-Directional network interface module compliant with the 1000Base-BX standard, enabling bidirectional data transmission over a single Single-Mode fiber optic cable by using different wavelengths for transmission (TX: 1310 nm) and reception (RX: 1550 nm). This effectively reduces fiber cable usage and lowers installation costs for long-distance networks. It supports signal transmission up to 20 km and is compatible with TP-Link switches, routers, and media converters. To operate fully, it must be used in pair with the TL-SM321A module. The module supports SFP-MSA and Hot Swappable functionality, along with DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitoring) for real-time monitoring of operational status such as transmit/receive power, optical signal strength, and internal module temperature, enabling precise network health tracking by system administrators.

Frequently asked questions about this product
Compiled from manufacturer information
Which module must be used with the SM321B-VER4 for it to work?
This module must be used in pair with the TL-SM321A module to enable full WDM Bi-Directional functionality, as both modules transmit and receive signals over the same fiber using different wavelengths
Can this module be used with non-TP-Link switches?
Yes, it can be used with non-TP-Link switches, provided the switch supports SFP and has a dedicated port for WDM Bi-Directional modules. However, compatibility with other manufacturers should be verified for assurance
Can the module's operational status be monitored?
Yes, this module supports DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitoring), which allows real-time monitoring of values such as transmit/receive power, optical signal level, internal module temperature, and usage statistics
What is the maximum transmission distance?
This module supports a maximum transmission distance of 20 kilometers using 9/125 μm Single-Mode fiber optic cable
Can this module be replaced while the system is running?
Yes, this module supports Hot Swappable operation, meaning it can be removed and installed without powering down the device or interrupting system operation
What types of fiber optic cables can it be used with?
It is compatible only with 9/125 μm Single-Mode fiber optic cables and does not support Multi-Mode cables
What is the operating temperature range?
This module operates within a temperature range of 0–70 °C and can be stored at -40–85 °C, making it suitable for general environments and some areas with high or low temperatures.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, this module comes with a 1-year warranty covering defects in materials and parts.
