CBO Transceiver AFCT-88EEPZ Fiber Optic QSFP 850nm 300m

CBO AFCT-88EEPZ Fiber Optic QSFP 850nm 300m is a four-channel short-range transceiver designed for multimode fiber links in data centers and enterprise network equipment. Operating at a wavelength of 850 nm, it supports a reach of up to 300 meters over appropriate multimode fiber, providing a compact QSFP form factor for high-density switch and router ports. The module enables reliable short-distance optical connections and is intended for insertion into QSFP slots to extend or replace existing optical links without altering host hardware.

Advantages

The transceiver offers four parallel channels in a single QSFP package, allowing aggregated bandwidth while occupying a single port. Its 850 nm VCSEL-based design delivers consistent performance over multimode fiber up to 300 m, ensuring predictable short-reach connectivity for top-of-rack and spine switch links. The compact QSFP footprint supports high port density and hot-pluggable replacement, simplifying maintenance and upgrades in rack-mounted network infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode fiber connections within data centers
• Top-of-rack to aggregation switch links
• High-density switches and routers with QSFP ports
• Upgrading or replacing QSFP optical ports for 40G/4x10G applications

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Wavelength: 850 nm
• Maximum reach: up to 300 meters over multimode fiber
• Channels: 4 parallel optical channels
• Compatibility: designed for multimode fiber links (OM3/OM4 recommended for maximum reach)
• Hot-pluggable connector: supports quick insertion and removal without powering down the host

How to use

Insert the QSFP transceiver into a compatible QSFP port on a switch or router until it clicks into place. Connect appropriate multimode fiber optic cables with matching LC-style or MPO/MTP connectors as required by your cabling system, ensuring proper fiber type (OM3/OM4 advised for 300 m). Verify link status via the host device management interface and monitor LEDs or software indicators to confirm correct operation. To remove, disengage any latch mechanism and gently pull the module from the port.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use high-quality multimode fiber (OM3 or OM4) and maintain clean fiber connectors; inspect and clean end faces before mating. Follow manufacturer guidelines for operating temperature and electrostatic precautions when handling the module. If interoperability is required, confirm compatibility with your switch vendor and firmware to ensure link negotiation and full functionality.
