Fiber optic SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-EX 1G 850nm

CBO SFP-1G-EX 1G 850nm is a compact fiber optic SFP transceiver by BlueOptics that supports a 1 Gbps data rate over multimode fiber. Designed for short-range links, the module provides a hot-pluggable optical interface suitable for switches, routers and media converters. It enables straightforward expansion of existing copper or fiber ports to 1G optical connectivity and can be used as a replacement module for faulty or incompatible transceivers.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers reliable 1 Gbps throughput with an 850 nm VCSEL light source optimized for short multimode distances. Its small form-factor pluggable design allows hot-swap installation without powering down equipment. The module is compatible with standard SFP cages and supports common link diagnostics via host equipment when available. Low power consumption and stable optical performance make it suitable for dense deployments and equipment upgrades.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode fiber links in enterprise networks
• Adding or expanding 1G optical ports on switches and routers
• Connecting servers and storage to top-of-rack switches
• Replacing faulty SFP modules in media converters and transceiver bays

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps
• Wavelength: 850 nm (multimode)
• Form factor: Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP)
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Interface: Hot-pluggable duplex optical
• Typical reach: short-range multimode links (OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4 dependent)
• Power consumption: low (device-dependent)

How to use

Insert the SFP-1G-EX transceiver into an available SFP cage on the target switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect the multimode duplex fiber patch cable with the correct connector type to the module. Ensure that the host equipment is configured for 1 Gbps optical operation and that fiber polarity is correct. Monitor link status and diagnostics through the network device management interface to verify proper optical levels and link integrity.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use multimode patch cords and fiber infrastructure appropriate for 850 nm operation and follow recommended cleaning procedures for optical connectors. Verify compatibility with the host device and consult equipment documentation for supported transceiver models and link tuning. Replace protective caps only when connecting the module to avoid contamination.
