Fiber optic transceiver CBO AFBR-5710APZ 850 nm multimode, up to 550 m

The BlueOptics Fiber optic transceiver CBO AFBR-5710APZ 850 nm multimode, up to 550 m is a single-channel SFP-style module designed for short-reach multimode fiber links. Operating at a wavelength of 850 nm, it supports data transmission in local area networks and short interconnects, providing a balance of reach and performance for switches, servers and OEM equipment that require multimode connectivity. The module accepts standard multimode fiber connectors and is intended for installation in compatible transceiver slots to establish reliable optical links up to 550 metres.

Advantages

This transceiver offers compact single-channel design and compatibility with common SFP ports, enabling straightforward integration into existing network hardware. Its operation at 850 nm is optimized for multimode fiber, delivering stable optical performance for typical LAN and data centre short-reach scenarios. The module’s reach of up to 550 m on appropriate multimode fiber gives flexibility for campus and building-level connections without the need for more complex optics.

Suitable for

• Short-reach multimode connections within offices, data centres and campus environments
• Upgrading switches and servers to support 850 nm multimode links
• OEM applications requiring single-channel SFP multimode transceivers
• Interconnects between distribution and access layer network equipment

Key specifications

• Optical wavelength: 850 nm
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Maximum reach: up to 550 m (dependent on fiber type and installation conditions)
• Form factor: Single-channel SFP-style transceiver
• Connector compatibility: standard multimode fiber connectors
• Intended use: short-reach LAN and interconnect applications

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible SFP port on a switch, server or other network device following the vendor’s hot-swap and handling instructions. Connect a multimode fiber patch cable with the appropriate connector type and ensure proper fiber polarity. After physical installation, verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces and configure interface settings as required by the network, such as speed and duplex. Ensure ambient conditions and fiber quality meet the module’s operating requirements to achieve the specified reach.

Recommendations

Use certified multimode fiber and quality patch cords to maximize performance and approach the stated 550 m reach; verify connector cleanliness before mating and follow ESD precautions when handling the transceiver.
