Ubiquiti UACC-OM-SM-10G-D-20 10Gbps Single-Mode Optical Module, 20-Pack

Ubiquiti UACC-OM-SM-10G-D-20 10Gbps Single‑Mode Optical Module – 20 Pack

The Ubiquiti UACC‑OM‑SM‑10G‑D‑20 is a high‑performance SFP+ transceiver module designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) over single‑mode fiber. Packaged in a set of twenty, this module delivers reliable, long‑reach connectivity for enterprise and data‑center environments.

Key Technical Specifications

• Interface: SFP+ (Small Form‑Factor Pluggable Plus)
• Data Rate: 10 Gbps (10,000 Mbps) maximum throughput
• Optical Mode: Single‑mode (SM) – ideal for long‑haul links up to 10 km
• Wavelength: 1310 nm – standard for single‑mode fiber deployments
• Connector Type: LC duplex – provides secure, high‑density connections
• Reach: Up to 10 km on OM3/OM4 multimode or up to 20 km on SM fiber (depending on cable type)
• Operating Temperature: –25 °C to +70 °C
• Power Consumption: 2.5 W typical, 3.0 W maximum
• Dimensions: 15 mm (height) × 12 mm (width) × 10 mm (depth)
• Weight: 4.2 g per module
• Compatibility: Fully compatible with Ubiquiti UniFi and EdgeRouter series, as well as other SFP+ capable switches and routers that support 10GbE single‑mode modules.

Design Features & Build Quality

The module incorporates a robust metallic housing that protects the delicate optical components from dust, moisture, and mechanical shock. The LC duplex connector is engineered for high‑density deployment, allowing rapid insertion and removal without compromising signal integrity.

Its compact form factor ensures it can be installed in standard 1U or 2U chassis, making it an excellent choice for high‑density data‑center racks where space is at a premium.

Performance & Reliability

• Low Bit Error Rate (BER): ≤ 10⁻¹² over the specified reach, guaranteeing minimal packet loss in mission‑critical applications.
• High Signal‑to‑Noise Ratio (SNR): Maintains data integrity even under challenging environmental conditions.
• Thermal Management: Designed to dissipate heat efficiently, preventing thermal throttling during prolonged operation.

Ideal Use Cases

• Data‑Center Interconnect (DCI): Seamlessly links core switches across campus or between data centers.
• Enterprise Campus Networking: Provides high‑speed backbone connectivity for large office buildings and campuses.
• Telecommunications Backbone: Supports carrier‑grade fiber links where long reach and reliability are paramount.
• High‑Performance Computing (HPC): Enables low‑latency, high‑throughput connections between compute nodes.

Installation & Compatibility Guidelines

1. Verify that the host device supports SFP+ and is configured for 10GbE single‑mode operation.
2. Insert the module into an empty slot, ensuring the LC connector aligns with the port’s keying mechanism.
3. Secure the module by tightening the locking tab or screw as per the host device’s specifications.
4. Connect a suitable single‑mode fiber patch cable (OM3/OM4 for multimode or OM2/OM1 for single‑mode) to the LC connector.
5. Power on the host device and confirm link status via its management interface; a green LED typically indicates successful negotiation at 10Gbps.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting Tips

• Regularly inspect fiber connectors for cleanliness; use approved cleaning tools to remove dust or oil residues.
• Avoid bending the fiber cable beyond its minimum bend radius (typically 30 mm) to prevent signal attenuation.
• If link stability issues arise, verify that the module firmware is up‑to‑date and compatible with the host device’s software version.
