Fiber Optic SFP Transceiver CBO AFBR-5705PZ 850nm 550m

BlueOptics AFBR-5705PZ is a fiber optic SFP transceiver designed for short-range multimode links at a wavelength of 850 nm. The module supports a reach of up to 550 metres over multimode fibre and conforms to the hot-pluggable SFP form factor for use in compatible network switches, routers and media converters. It is intended for extending 1 Gbps-class connections within local area networks and data centre patching where 850 nm multimode connectivity is required.

Advantages

The transceiver provides reliable short-reach optical connectivity with a compact SFP package that enables easy insertion and replacement without powering down equipment. Operating at 850 nm, the module is optimised for multimode fibre links and supports typical LAN and data centre link budgets for reaches up to 550 m. Its standard form factor and industry-compatible electrical interface ensure broad interoperability with devices that accept SFP optical modules.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode fibre links in enterprise LANs
• Server and switch uplinks in data centre racks
• Patch panel connections and fibre-based aggregation
• Upgrading legacy multimode fibre infrastructure to SFP-based ports

Key specifications

• Optical wavelength: 850 nm
• Maximum reach: up to 550 metres over multimode fibre
• Form factor: SFP (hot-pluggable)
• Suitable fibre type: multimode fibre (MMF)
• Typical application: short-range Ethernet and fibre channel links within LAN/data centre environments

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on a network switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered on or following the vendor’s hot-swap guidance. Connect the multimode fibre patch cable to the transceiver’s optical interface, ensuring proper connector type and polarity. Verify link status LEDs on the host device and confirm recognised interface parameters via the device management interface. Replace or reseat the module as needed using ESD-safe handling practices.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode fibre for best performance at longer distances approaching the 550 m limit, and observe connector cleanliness procedures to minimise insertion loss. Check compatibility notes from your network equipment vendor for supported SFP modules and firmware requirements before deployment.
