Fiber Optic SFP Transceiver CBO AFCT-5760NLZ 850nm 550m

The BlueOptics Fiber Optic SFP Transceiver CBO AFCT-5760NLZ operates at an 850 nm wavelength and supports multimode fiber links with a maximum reach of up to 550 meters. This compact, hot-pluggable SFP module is designed for short-range optical connections in data centers, enterprise networks and server uplinks. The transceiver provides a standardized electrical and optical interface for switches, routers and network interface cards that accept SFP form-factor modules, enabling flexible deployment of short-distance fiber links.

Advantages

The module offers a reliable short-range optical link with low power consumption and stable performance over multimode fiber. Its hot-pluggable SFP form factor simplifies installation and maintenance without powering down equipment. The transceiver supports industry-standard optical specifications for 850 nm operation, ensuring interoperability with other multimode fiber equipment and predictable link behavior in typical enterprise cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Short-distance multimode fiber connections within data centers
• Server uplinks and switch-to-switch links in enterprise networks
• Patch-panel to switch optical connections in wiring closets
• Temporary or permanent short-range optical links requiring hot-swappable modules

Key specifications

• Wavelength: 850 nm optimized for multimode fiber
• Maximum reach: up to 550 meters over multimode fiber
• Form factor: SFP (hot-pluggable)
• Connector type: LC duplex (standard for short-range multimode links)
• Typical use: short-range multimode data links for switches and servers

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an empty SFP port on a compatible network device until it clicks into place, following the device manufacturer’s handling guidelines to avoid electrostatic damage. Connect a compatible multimode duplex LC patch cable between the module and the remote transceiver or patch panel. Configure the network device port according to the desired interface settings; the module itself is plug-and-play for basic optical link establishment. Monitor link status LEDs on the host device to verify proper operation and perform any necessary network configuration in the switch or server management interface.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber compliant with standard OM2/OM3/OM4 specifications and quality LC patch cables to achieve reliable performance up to the specified 550 m reach. Ensure that connected hardware supports SFP modules and that firmware or driver versions are compatible. Handle the transceiver by its housing, keep fiber ends clean, and store unused modules in protective caps or packaging to prevent contamination.
