TP-Link TL-SM321B-2 | 1000Base-BX WDM Bi-Directional SFP Module – 2km LC Simplex | DDM | MSA Compliant

The TP-Link TL-SM321B-2 is a Gigabit WDM Bi-Directional SFP module engineered for high-efficiency, cost-saving fiber networking over a single strand of 9/125 μm single-mode fiber. Using WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology, it transmits at 1310nm and receives at 1550nm, allowing full-duplex communication over a single fiber line—ideal for enterprise, campus, or building interconnects.

This module is fully SFP-MSA compliant, features Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) for real-time link performance analysis, and is hot-swappable, making it effortless to install without interrupting operations. Pair it with the TL-SM321A-2 to complete a bidirectional fiber link up to 2 km.
