SFP / Mini GBIC Modules
SFP and Mini GBIC modules convert a switch or router port to fibre, plugging into an SFP slot for a gigabit fibre uplink. TP-Link modules here use LC Duplex connections in singlemode or multimode.

SFP and Mini GBIC modules plug into a switch or router’s SFP slot to convert a copper port to fibre, letting a gigabit link run over fibre instead of copper for distance or noise immunity.
Matching mode and fibre category
TP-Link Omada modules in this range use LC Duplex connections at 10/100/1000 Gigabit speed. Singlemode modules pair with singlemode fibre for longer links, while multimode modules match OM3 50/125, OM1 62.5/125 or OM4 50/125 fibre. Check the mode and fibre category at both ends of the link before ordering, since singlemode and multimode are not interchangeable.

SFP / Mini GBIC Modules FAQs
What is the difference between singlemode and multimode SFP modules?
Singlemode SFP modules are matched to singlemode fibre for longer links, while multimode modules match multimode fibre such as OM3, OM1 or OM4, used over shorter distances.
What connector does this SFP module use?
The TP-Link SFP and Mini GBIC modules in this range use an LC Duplex fibre connector, running at 10/100/1000 Gigabit speed.
Do I need an SFP module at both ends of a fibre link?
Yes, both ends of the link need a matching SFP module in the same mode, either singlemode or multimode, connected to fibre of the same category.
