Fiber Optic SFP Transceiver CBO AFCT-5715LZ 1000Base-SX 850nm

CBO AFCT-5715LZ 1000Base-SX 850nm is a compact fiber optic SFP transceiver module intended for short-range Gigabit Ethernet connections over multimode fiber. The module supports hot-pluggable insertion into SFP ports on switches, routers and media converters and is suitable for establishing reliable links in data center racks, campus distribution and enterprise access layers. Operating at an 850 nm wavelength, it implements the 1000Base-SX standard for short-reach multimode fiber networks.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers stable Gigabit performance for short-distance multimode fiber runs while offering a small form factor that conserves port space. Hot-pluggable capability allows replacement or upgrade without powering down the host device. Compatible with a wide range of SFP-enabled network equipment, the module supports standard 1000Base-SX interoperability for predictable link behavior and straightforward integration into existing fiber infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Short-range Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber in data centers
• Interconnects between access switches and distribution switches within campus networks
• Fiber uplinks for enterprise switches and routers
• Media converters and patch panel deployments requiring 850 nm SFP modules

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Data rate: 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Wavelength: 850 nm
• Optical interface: multimode fiber (MMF)
• Reach: short-range multimode links (typical up to 550 m depending on fiber grade)
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Hot-pluggable: yes

How to use

Install the SFP transceiver into an available SFP port on the powered-on network device until it clicks into place. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status on the host device and configure network settings as required by your environment. For removal, gently press the release latch and pull the module straight out; protect optical ports with dust caps when not in use.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode fiber and compatible LC duplex patch cords for optimal performance. Match fiber type and cable grade (OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4) to the expected reach. Observe ESD precautions when handling the module and avoid exposing optical ports to contamination; clean connectors before insertion to minimize loss.
