• Upgrading switches or media converters to 850 nm multimode optical ports
• Server uplinks requiring multimode fiber connectivity

Key specifications

• Wavelength: 850 nm
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Maximum reach: Up to 550 m
• Module type: Compact fiber optic transceiver form factor compatible with standard transceiver slots
• Functionality: Optical transmit and receive for data links

How to use

Insert the transceiver into a compatible SFP/slot on a switch, media converter or server port following the device manufacturer’s insertion procedure. Connect multimode fiber patch cords with appropriate connectors to the transmit and receive ports. Verify link status through the host device interface and ensure duplex, speed and any required link settings match the network configuration. For optimal performance, use multimode fiber and connectors rated for 850 nm transmission and maintain proper cable routing to avoid bends or stress on the fiber.

Recommendations

Use this 850 nm multimode transceiver for short-range links where multimode fiber is deployed. Confirm compatibility with the host device and maintain clean fiber endfaces to reduce signal loss. For distances approaching the maximum reach, verify channel budget and fiber grade (e.g., OM3/OM4) to ensure reliable operation.
