One Fiber is Enough: Your Smart Connection Solution
In classic Network technology, you usually need two strands (duplex) for a fiber optic connection: one for the transmit path (TX), one for the receive path (RX). But what if you only have one fiber free or if laying cables is expensive? This is where the Ubiquiti UACC-OM-SM-1G-S-2 BiDi SFP Module Set comes into play. It uses advanced WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology to establish a full 1-Gigabit Ethernet connection over a single Single-Mode Fiber Optic Cable. This not only saves you material costs but also significantly simplifies installation.
Blue Meets Yellow: How BiDi Works
The set consists of two perfectly matched SFP / SFP\+ Modules, which are color-coded (Blue and Yellow bar) to avoid confusion. Module A (Blue) transmits at 1310 nm and receives at 1550 nm, while Module B (Yellow) works exactly the opposite: it transmits at 1550 nm and receives at 1310 nm. You simply plug the blue module into your first Ethernet Switch and the yellow one into the second. An simple LC Simplex cable is sufficient in between. The modules 'throw' data to each other on different light frequencies without colliding – an ingenious solution for efficient communication.
Convincing Range: 3 Kilometers for Your Network
Although the technology sounds complex, the application of the Ubiquiti UACC-OM-SM-1G-S-2 is incredibly simple and Plug & Play. The modules achieve an impressive distance of up to 3 kilometers. This is ideal for a variety of scenarios: connect distant buildings in a campus Network, create a reliable bridge between warehouses, or link floor distributors in large office buildings. With this range, you are flexible and can effortlessly implement demanding infrastructure projects.
Simple, Compatible, Efficient: Plug & Play for Your Setup
The installation of the Ubiquiti UACC-OM-SM-1G-S-2 is child's play. Simply plug it in, and your connection is ready. The modules are not only perfectly matched to Ubiquiti UniFi and EdgeMAX products but are also compatible with common MSA-compliant switches. This gives you maximum flexibility when integrating into existing or new Network infrastructures. Benefit from stable 1-Gigabit performance with minimal Cabling effort and low power consumption of only 0.66 watts per module.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the Ubiquiti UACC-OM-SM-1G-S-2?
The Ubiquiti UACC-OM-SM-1G-S-2 is a BiDi (Bi-Directional) SFP transceiver designed for 1 Gbps fiber optic connections over single-mode fibers with a range of up to 3 km.
What does BiDi stand for in this SFP module?
BiDi stands for Bi-Directional, meaning the SFP module can send and receive data in both directions over a single single-mode fiber optic cable, thereby halving the number of fibers required.
What is the range of the Ubiquiti UACC-OM-SM-1G-S-2?
This SFP module is designed for a maximum range of 3 kilometers over single-mode fiber optic cables, ideal for medium distances in networks.
What connector type does the UACC-OM-SM-1G-S-2 use?
The Ubiquiti UACC-OM-SM-1G-S-2 uses an LC connector type, known for its compact size and high performance in fiber optic applications.
Is the Ubiquiti UACC-OM-SM-1G-S-2 compatible with all SFP ports?
The UACC-OM-SM-1G-S-2 is primarily designed for use with Ubiquiti UniFi Switches and other devices with SFP ports that support 1 Gbps single-mode BiDi modules. Compatibility with devices from other manufacturers should be checked on a case-by-case basis.
What applications is this SFP module suitable for?
This SFP module is excellent for extending networks over medium distances, connecting buildings, or linking remote devices where a 1 Gbps fiber optic connection over single-mode fibers is required and the BiDi function saves fibers.
