Fiber Optic SFP Transceiver CBO SFP-1G-MMF-2KM 1 Gbps multimode, 2 km reach

This BlueOptics Fiber Optic SFP Transceiver CBO SFP-1G-MMF-2KM provides a 1 Gbps multimode fiber link with up to 2 km reach in a compact SFP form factor. Designed for installation in network equipment with SFP ports, the module enables short-range optical connectivity between switches, routers and media converters. The transceiver supports standard multimode fiber interfaces and offers plug-and-play operation to extend Ethernet connections across buildings or within campus environments.

Advantages

The module delivers a reliable 1 Gbps data rate over multimode fiber with a maximum reach of 2 km, maintaining low latency and stable throughput. Its compact SFP form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of switches, routers and media converters that accept SFP modules. Plug-and-play installation reduces configuration time and simplifies deployment, while standardized optical interfaces support interoperability with existing multimode fiber cabling.

Suitable for

• Short-range fiber links between network switches and routers within buildings or across a campus
• Media converters and access devices requiring 1 Gbps multimode fiber connectivity
• Upgrading copper connections to optical links for improved EMI immunity and longer reach
• Network segmentation and uplinks in enterprise or educational environments

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber
• Maximum reach: up to 2 km
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Interface: optical connector for multimode fiber
• Operation: hot-pluggable, plug-and-play

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it is securely seated. Connect a multimode fiber patch cable with the appropriate connector between the transceiver and the remote device, observing correct fiber polarity. Power on the devices and verify link status using the host equipment's LEDs or management interface. No additional software installation is typically required; configure network parameters on the connected devices as needed.

Recommendations

For best performance, use high-quality multimode fiber cabling and clean fiber connectors before mating. Verify that the host device supports the transceiver's optical characteristics and SFP form factor. Keep operating environments within the equipment's specified temperature and humidity ranges and avoid bending fiber cables beyond their minimum bend radius to preserve signal integrity.
