Fiber optic SFP transceiver CBO AFCT-5765NLZ 850 nm multimode, up to 550 m

The BlueOptics Fiber optic SFP transceiver CBO AFCT-5765NLZ operates at 850 nm and is designed for multimode fiber links up to 550 meters. This compact, hot-pluggable SFP module fits standard SFP ports on switches, routers and media converters to enable short-range data transmission in LAN and campus network environments. The module supports common SFP electrical and optical interfaces and is intended for replacement or extension of existing multimode fiber connections without requiring equipment changes.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers reliable multimode connectivity with simple hot-swap installation, reducing downtime during upgrades or repairs. Its 850 nm VCSEL-based design is optimized for short-range fiber runs, providing consistent performance across distances up to 550 meters on suitable multimode fiber. Compliance with standard SFP form factor and electrical specifications ensures broad compatibility with network equipment that accepts SFP modules.

Suitable for

• Short-range Ethernet links in LAN and campus networks
• Connecting switches, routers and media converters over multimode fiber
• Replacing or extending existing multimode fiber connections
• Data center access and aggregation layers with multimode runs

Key specifications

• Wavelength: 850 nm for multimode fiber transmission
• Maximum reach: up to 550 meters on appropriate multimode fiber
• Form factor: SFP (hot-pluggable)
• Optical source: VCSEL (vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser)
• Connector type: standard duplex multimode fiber connector (LC compatible interfaces)
• Operating environment: typical commercial temperature range for networking modules

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an empty SFP cage on a compatible switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered according to the host equipment manual. Connect the duplex multimode fiber patch cable to the module’s optical interface, ensuring correct alignment of transmit and receive fibers. After insertion, verify link LEDs or management interface status on the host device to confirm the optical link is established. Remove the module by pulling the release mechanism while observing host-device procedures to avoid damage.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber cabling of the appropriate grade (e.g., OM3/OM4) and verify link budget for the desired distance up to 550 m. Keep fiber connectors clean and use dust caps when the transceiver is not connected. Match transceiver type and speed to the host device capabilities and check compatibility lists if available from the network equipment vendor.
