Ubiquiti UACC-OM-MM-10G-D 10G Multi-Mode SFP+ Transceiver
Overview
The Ubiquiti UACC-OM-MM-10G-D is a hot-pluggable SFP+ transceiver module designed to extend 10 Gbps optical connectivity across multi-mode fiber runs up to 300 meters. Operating at 850 nm wavelength with duplex LC UPC connectors, this module integrates directly into any SFP+ port on enterprise switches, routers, and network infrastructure already deployed in your environment. It handles both 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps data rates — backward compatibility that matters when phasing upgrades across a mixed infrastructure. The UACC-OM-MM-10G-D (often searched as UACC OM MM 10G D) consumes only 0.8 W of power, eliminating heat management concerns in dense switch deployments.
Key Features
- 10 Gbps Data Rate: Full-speed optical transport eliminates electrical bottlenecks between network segments. Critical when consolidating surveillance, access control, and warehouse automation feeds into a single network core.
- 300-Meter Multi-Mode Range: 850 nm wavelength over OM3/OM4 multi-mode fiber covers building-wide interconnects without repeaters. Practical limit for on-site backbone runs in most facilities under 500,000 sq. ft.
- Duplex LC UPC Connectors: LC UPC is the install standard for enterprise data centers and network closets. Minimizes cross-compatibility issues when mixing transceivers from different vendors in the same SFP+ slots.
- 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps Support: Auto-negotiates between speeds — no firmware updates or manual reconfiguration needed when connecting to older 1G infrastructure during migrations or hybrid deployments.
- 0.8 W Power Consumption: Negligible draw means no separate power supply and no thermal load on the host switch. A typical 48-port switch can run 24+ transceivers of this type without power or cooling stress.
- IEC/EN 60825-1:2014 Certified: Laser product safety compliance eliminates regulatory friction in enterprise procurement and simplifies compliance documentation for managed service deployments.
- Operating Temperature: 0–70°C: Standard commercial range supports climate-controlled network closets and field equipment shelters. Outside this range requires alternative optics — verify your environment before bulk purchasing.
Integration and Compatibility
The UACC-OM-MM-10G-D pairs with any SFP+ port or SFP port that supports gigabit and 10-gigabit transport. This includes current-generation Ubiquiti NVR and network appliance lines, most enterprise switching gear, and industrial network infrastructure. Deployment requires multi-mode fiber patch cables (LC to LC, OM3 or OM4 rated) — verify cable stock before installation, as this is a field-replaceable consumable. LC UPC connections are directional; ensure proper cable routing to avoid insertion loss or connector damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the UACC-OM-MM-10G-D work in a 1 Gbps SFP port?
A: Yes. The transceiver auto-negotiates and will operate at 1 Gbps in SFP ports and 10 Gbps in SFP+ ports. No configuration required.
Q: What fiber type do I need?
A: Multi-mode fiber only — OM3 or OM4 patch cables with LC UPC connectors. Single-mode fiber will not work with this 850 nm transceiver.
Q: Can this reach beyond 300 meters?
A: No. 300 meters is the maximum distance specification for multi-mode at 850 nm. Longer runs require single-mode optics (different transceiver model).
Q: Does the UACC-OM-MM-10G-D include fiber patch cables?
A: No. The module is transceiver-only. Multi-mode LC UPC fiber patch cables are sold separately and must be procured separately.
Q: What is the operating temperature range?
A: 0–70°C (32–158°F). Verify your network closet or outdoor enclosure meets this requirement before deployment in cold climates or uninsulated spaces.
Q: Is this transceiver hot-swappable?
A: Yes. The UACC-OM-MM-10G-D can be inserted and removed without powering down the host switch, enabling field maintenance and upgrades without service interruption.

The UACC-OM-MM-10G-D is a straightforward, proven choice for 10 Gbps optical backbone segments in enterprise and warehouse settings. The 300-meter multi-mode reach eliminates the need for active repeaters or regenerators on building-wide runs, and the 850 nm wavelength is the de facto standard for OM3/OM4 fiber already installed in most data center and facility networks. If you're extending 10G connectivity between a core switch, NVR array, or access control hub across a large facility, this transceiver delivers line-rate performance without surprises.
Technical Highlights:
- 300-Meter Reach (850 nm): Multi-mode fiber cost roughly one-third that of single-mode on a per-meter basis. The 300 m limit covers most on-campus deployments; verify your actual run length before committing — going longer requires single-mode transceivers and fiber stock changes.
- Dual-Rate (1G/10G Auto-Negotiation): Backwards compatibility with existing 1 Gbps infrastructure means you can stage upgrades without forklift replace of every connected device. Plug it in, and the transceiver adapts — saves integration headaches during phased network upgrades.
- 0.8 W Power Draw: Negligible power and no thermal signature. In a 48-port switch handling 24+ transceivers, you'll see zero performance penalty. Compare this to active repeaters or wavelength converters, which add real power and cooling load.
Deployment Considerations:
- Multi-mode fiber cables (OM3 or OM4, LC UPC) are not included — factor cable procurement into your project timeline. LC UPC connectors must be properly seated; a slightly misaligned fiber ferrule cuts signal strength dramatically.
- The 0–70°C operating range is standard for commercial-grade optics but will not survive uninsulated outdoor cabinets in cold climates. If you're deploying transceivers in an uncontrolled or semi-outdoor enclosure, validate temperature extremes against your site data.
This module fits well in warehouse automation backbones where you need reliable 10G interconnect between distributed IP cameras, access control nodes, and a central NVR or analytics server. The passive, zero-maintenance design means once it's installed and fiber is clean, you won't revisit it. Pair it with quality multi-mode fiber and LC connector care, and you'll get years of stable performance.
