Bidirectional gigabit SFP module
The TP-Link TL-SM321A-2 is a 1000Base-BX WDM transceiver that sends data at 1550 nm and receives at 1310 nm over a single strand of 9/125 µm single-mode fibre. It conforms to the SFP-MSA form factor and operates on a 3.3 V supply. Digital Diagnostic Monitoring to SFF-8472 and hot-swappable operation are both supported.
Suited for paired point-to-point links
Network engineers extending gigabit links up to 2 km between switches, routers or servers will use this module with its TL-SM321B-2 counterpart. It is not for buyers who need longer reach, multi-mode fibre compatibility, or a standalone transceiver that does not require a matched pair.
TX 1550 nm / RX 1310 nm wavelength pair
The fixed transmit and receive wavelengths determine which companion module is required and whether the link will function over the installed fibre. Verify that the opposite end uses the complementary 1310 nm TX / 1550 nm RX configuration before purchase.

Questions about this item
Does the TL-SM321A-2 include the patch cable or must I buy 9/125 µm single-mode fibre separately?
The module has an LC connector and requires 9/125 µm single-mode fibre; the patch cable is not included.
When should I choose the TL-SM321A-2 versus the TL-SM321B-2?
The TL-SM321A-2 transmits at 1550 nm and receives at 1310 nm; the paired TL-SM321B-2 uses the opposite wavelengths, so you need one of each for a link.
What does the 2 km distance mean when the module is installed in a switch?
It supports a full-duplex gigabit link up to 2000 metres over 9/125 µm single-mode fibre when paired with a TL-SM321B-2 module.
