Ubiquiti UACC-OM-MM-1G-D 1G SFP Transceiver
The Ubiquiti UACC-OM-MM-1G-D is a 1 Gbps SFP (Small Form Factor Pluggable) transceiver module engineered for fiber connectivity in edge and switching deployments. This transceiver delivers multimode fiber support—meaning you can run longer distances on standard multimode cabling without the cost premium of single-mode alternatives. At 1 Gbps throughput, it matches the line rate of most access-layer switches, eliminating bottlenecks when connecting remote surveillance stations, warehouse automation systems, or distributed sensor networks across a campus or facility.
Key Features
- 1 Gbps Throughput: Provides full-duplex gigabit performance over fiber, keeping pace with 1G switch uplinks and avoiding data congestion on backbone routes.
- Multimode Fiber Support: Compatible with OM1, OM2, OM3, and OM4 multimode fiber—lower-cost cabling than single-mode, sufficient for runs up to 2–5 km depending on fiber grade and wavelength.
- SFP Form Factor: Compact pluggable design allows hot-swappable installation into any standard SFP port, eliminating the need to power down or reconfigure the host device during installation or replacement.
- ISO Standard Manufacturing: Built to ISO specifications, ensuring consistent optical performance and mechanical reliability across production batches.
- Minimal Footprint: At 0.2 lb, the UACC-OM-MM-1G-D adds negligible weight or bulk to your switching infrastructure—relevant in cabinet-space-constrained deployments.
- Ubiquiti Ecosystem Integration: Designed for seamless operation with Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch and UniFi switching platforms, reducing compatibility testing and vendor coordination overhead.
Integration & Compatibility
The UACC-OM-MM-1G-D inserts directly into available SFP ports on compatible network switches and Ubiquiti equipment. Standard SFP form factor ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility with third-party switches that support 1G SFP modules, though Ubiquiti platforms are the primary target.
Before ordering, verify SFP port availability on your specific device. Not all Ubiquiti models include SFP slots—some are port-limited to RJ-45 copper connectivity. Consult your switch datasheet or contact the vendor to confirm SFP port count and supported transceiver wavelengths.
Fiber cabling, connectors, and cable assemblies are sold separately. Most installations pair this transceiver with multimode patch cords terminated in LC, SC, or ST connectors depending on existing infrastructure.
When to Choose This Model
Select the UACC-OM-MM-1G-D if you need 1 Gbps fiber uplinks on a modest budget and your run distance is under 2 km. Multimode fiber is the cost-effective choice for campus deployments, inter-building links, and warehouse backbone routes where single-mode's longer reach (10+ km) adds unnecessary expense. If you require redundancy, purchase two transceiver modules to populate dual SFP ports on your switch for active-active or active-standby failover.
Skip this model if you require 10+ Gbps speeds—you'll need a higher-speed SFP+ or QSFP transceiver. Similarly, if your fiber run exceeds 5 km or you cannot tolerate modal dispersion on legacy OM1/OM2 cabling, single-mode transceivers (sold separately) deliver superior distance and performance certainty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What fiber types does the UACC-OM-MM-1G-D support?
A: Multimode fiber only—OM1, OM2, OM3, and OM4 grades. It is not compatible with single-mode fiber (SMF-28 or equivalent).
Q: What is the maximum cable run length?
A: Typical maximum is 2 km on OM1/OM2, extending to 5 km on OM3/OM4 depending on wavelength and link budget. Consult the datasheet for exact specifications under your cabling conditions.
Q: Can I use the UACC-OM-MM-1G-D with non-Ubiquiti switches?
A: Yes, it is a standard 1G SFP module and will work with any switch featuring standard SFP ports. However, Ubiquiti platforms are the intended and tested primary platform.
Q: Do I need to install drivers or configure the transceiver?
A: No. SFP transceivers are transparent to the host—simply insert it into an available SFP port and the switch will auto-detect it. No driver or firmware updates required.
Q: What is the operating temperature range?
A: Refer to the product datasheet for thermal specifications. Standard transceiver modules typically operate 0–70°C (32–158°F) commercial or -10–70°C (-14–158°F) extended industrial range.
Q: Is there a warranty on the UACC-OM-MM-1G-D?
A: Warranty terms vary by vendor and region. Contact your specialty reseller for specific coverage and replacement policy.

The Ubiquiti UACC-OM-MM-1G-D is a straightforward, commodity-grade 1G SFP transceiver—no surprises, which is exactly what you want in a transceiver module. The multimode fiber support keeps cost down and covers the vast majority of campus and warehouse deployments where fiber runs are under 5 km. If you're standardizing a Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch or UniFi switching backbone and need fiber uplinks without the complexity or cost of single-mode infrastructure, this is the no-brainer choice.
Technical Highlights:
- 1 Gbps Full-Duplex Throughput: Matches the line rate of 1G Ethernet—no synthetic bottleneck between remote surveillance nodes or warehouse sensors and your core switch.
- Multimode Fiber Compatibility: Works across OM1, OM2, OM3, and OM4 cabling grades. Practical maximum run is 2–5 km depending on fiber grade and your link budget, eliminating the need for expensive single-mode infrastructure on intra-building or campus links.
- Hot-Swappable SFP Form Factor: Insert or remove without powering down the switch—critical during live operations when you cannot afford downtime for port replacement or troubleshooting.
Deployment Considerations:
- Port Availability Check: Verify your Ubiquiti model actually includes SFP slots before committing—many lower-cost EdgeSwitch and UniFi SKUs are RJ-45 only. Check the switch datasheet first.
- Fiber Cabling Sourcing: The transceiver itself is just half the equation. You'll need to source multimode patch cords, connectors, and potentially skilled termination or testing if running dark fiber across a campus. Budget for cable and test equipment separately.
Deploy the UACC-OM-MM-1G-D when you need cost-effective fiber uplinks on a Ubiquiti switching platform for runs under 5 km. It's ideal for connecting remote surveillance buildings, warehouse distribution nodes, or inter-facility links where multimode fiber is already in place or where single-mode economics don't justify the premium.
