Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO 1100-0525 1000Base-SX 850nm

CBO 1100-0525 is a fiber optic SFP transceiver that supports 1000Base-SX operation at an 850 nm wavelength. The module is intended for Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber, providing a compact hot-swappable solution for switches, routers and other networking equipment. It enables short-range fiber connections, port upgrades to 1 Gbps and interoperable connectivity in data center and enterprise environments.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a small-form-factor design that fits into standard SFP slots and supports hot swapping for easy field replacement without powering down equipment. Operating at 850 nm for multimode fiber, it delivers reliable short-range performance compatible with common Gigabit Ethernet hardware. Low power consumption and straightforward interoperability with industry-standard SFP interfaces simplify deployment and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Short-range Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber within data centers
• Upgrading switch or router ports to 1 Gbps capacity
• Interconnecting network equipment in enterprise LANs and server rooms
• Redundant fiber links and short-haul optical connections

Key specifications

• Form factor: Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP)
• Data rate: 1 Gbps (1000Base-SX)
• Wavelength: 850 nm
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Connector type: Duplex LC compatible
• Hot-swappable: Yes
• Typical range: Short-reach multimode links (depends on fiber type and modal conditions)
• Power consumption: Low (device designed for energy-efficient operation)

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or media converter, ensuring the module locks into place. Connect duplex multimode fiber with LC connectors to the transceiver ports, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the network equipment as required for 1000Base-SX operation; most managed devices will auto-negotiate the link. Replace or remove the module while the host device is powered on if hot-swap support is required, following standard electrostatic discharge precautions.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your switch or router vendor and confirm multimode fiber specifications (OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4) to estimate achievable link distances. Use clean LC connectors and proper fiber handling to maintain signal integrity, and consult equipment documentation for any platform-specific configuration or firmware requirements.
