CBO Transceiver MGB-L30 — Fiber Optic 1000Base-SX, 850 nm, SFP

CBO MGB-L30 is an SFP fiber-optic transceiver that supports 1000Base-SX operation at a wavelength of 850 nm. Engineered for short-range Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fiber, it offers a compact, hot-pluggable interface compatible with standard SFP ports on switches, routers and servers. The module enables straightforward extension of network links within data centers, campus LANs and building backbones where 850 nm multimode fiber cabling is in use.

Advantages

The transceiver provides reliable gigabit connectivity with a small form factor that fits standard SFP slots. It supports plug-and-play installation, minimizes downtime during upgrades, and is compatible with equipment that accepts SFP modules for fiber optics. The 850 nm wavelength is optimized for short-range multimode fiber links, ensuring efficient transmission over typical data center and intra-building distances.

Suitable for

• Short-reach Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber
• Interconnects between switches and routers within data centers
• Server uplinks and network edge connections with SFP ports
• Campus LAN segments and building backbone links using 850 nm MMF

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Data rate: 1000 Mbps (1000Base-SX)
• Wavelength: 850 nm
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber compatibility
• Typical reach: short-range multimode links (data center / campus distances)
• Connector type: LC duplex

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an available SFP port on a compatible switch, router or server until it seats firmly. Connect duplex LC multimode fiber patch cables to the transceiver and the corresponding network device, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. After installation, verify link status and network configuration on the host device; the module is recognized as a standard SFP and requires no additional software for basic operation. For best results, ensure fiber connectors are clean and fiber links are within the expected distance for 850 nm multimode operation.

Recommendations

Use the module with multimode fiber rated for 850 nm and with compatible LC connectors. Keep fiber ends clean and use dust caps when the transceiver is not connected. Verify compatibility with the host device’s supported SFP types and check link diagnostics after installation to confirm proper operation.
