CBO fiber optic module AFBR-57L5APZ-BC-BO, 1000 Mbit/s, 850 nm

CBO AFBR-57L5APZ-BC-BO is a fiber optic module designed for 1 Gbit/s Ethernet links over multimode fiber at 850 nm. The transceiver supports short-range multimode connections and offers a standard physical interface for integration into switches, servers and network appliances. It is intended for use in environments such as data center uplinks, campus networks and LAN segments where reliable gigabit optical links with 850 nm wavelength are required.

Advantages

The module provides a compact, plug-in form factor that simplifies maintenance and upgrades of network equipment. It supports 1 Gbit/s data rates, ensuring compatibility with standard Gigabit Ethernet ports, and uses 850 nm optics optimized for multimode fiber, which keeps link latency low and transmission stable over short distances. The product is built to industry form-factor standards for straightforward interoperability with compatible hardware, enabling predictable performance in mixed-vendor environments.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode fiber links in data centers
• Uplinks between switches and aggregation switches
• Campus and enterprise LAN segments requiring gigabit optical connectivity
• Connections between servers and top-of-rack switches

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1000 Mbit/s (1 Gbit/s)
• Optical wavelength: 850 nm
• Fiber type: multimode fiber (MMF)
• Intended reach: short-range multimode links (typical multimode distances)
• Interface: standard hot-pluggable transceiver form-factor compatible with Gigabit Ethernet ports

How to use

Install the module into a compatible transceiver slot on the network device following the equipment manufacturer’s guidance for hot-pluggable modules. Use appropriate multimode fiber patch cables and ensure connectors are clean before mating. Configure the connected network ports for 1 Gbit/s operation if manual settings are required, and verify link status and signal integrity using the network device management interface or monitoring tools. Replace or reseat the module only when the device indicates a fault or during planned maintenance windows to avoid unintended service disruption.

Recommendations

Use multimode patch cords with matching connector types and keep fiber connectors clean and dust-free. Verify compatibility with your switch or server vendor’s supported transceiver list and observe electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the module. For best results in data center uplinks, document link distances and fiber type (OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4) to confirm expected performance at 850 nm.
