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

The BlueOptics Fiber Optic SFP Transceiver CBO SFP-1G-MMF-2KM is a compact, hot-pluggable module that delivers 1 Gbps data transmission over multimode fiber for short-range network links. Designed for installation in switches, routers and media converters that accept standard SFP modules, this transceiver supports typical LAN, wiring closet and campus interconnects with an approximate reach of 2 km. The module provides a straightforward fiber extension solution where copper cabling is impractical or where fiber isolation and distance are required.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers a reliable multimode fiber connection with a 1 Gbps transfer rate and a nominal reach of 2 km. Its hot-pluggable SFP form factor enables tool-free insertion and removal, minimizing downtime during upgrades or maintenance. The small, standardized design ensures compatibility with a wide range of network equipment that supports SFP modules, while fiber transmission reduces electromagnetic interference and provides electrical isolation between devices.

Suitable for

• Short-range fiber links within LANs and building-to-building connections
• Fiber uplinks in wiring closets and distribution rooms
• Interconnects between switches, routers and media converters supporting SFP
• Environments requiring electrical isolation or low EMI communication

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Maximum reach: approximately 2 km over multimode fiber
• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable), hot-pluggable
• Typical application: short-range network interconnects and uplinks

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an empty SFP port on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it locks in place. Connect multimode fiber patch cords with the appropriate connector type to the transceiver and secure any required cable management. The host device should automatically recognise the module; verify link status and speed in the device management interface. To remove the module, follow the host equipment procedure for hot-removal and gently extract the transceiver by the housing.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber of appropriate grade and matched connectors to achieve the specified reach; verify end-to-end link loss and perform testing after installation. Avoid excessive bending of fiber cables and protect transceiver ports from dust with dust caps when not in use. Confirm firmware and hardware compatibility with the host device vendor documentation before deployment.
