Fiber optic transceiver CBO AFCT-5710ALZ 1.25 Gbps 850 nm multimode

The BlueOptics CBO AFCT-5710ALZ fiber optic transceiver supports a 1.25 Gbps data rate over multimode fiber at an 850 nm wavelength. Built in an SFP form factor, the module is intended for short-range optical links in environments such as enterprise LANs, data centers and storage networks. The transceiver offers hot-pluggable installation and interoperable optical connectivity that enables straightforward integration into compatible network switches and media converters.

Advantages

The transceiver provides standardized SFP connectivity, allowing flexible use in a wide range of networking equipment. Its 850 nm multimode design is optimized for short-reach links, offering stable 1.25 Gbps performance and low power consumption for typical access and aggregation scenarios. Hot-pluggability simplifies maintenance and replacement without interrupting other system components.

Suitable for

• Short-range Ethernet links in enterprise LANs
• Server and switch uplinks in data centers
• Storage area network connections over multimode fiber
• Media converters and optical patch panels for campus networks

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Data rate: 1.25 Gbps
• Wavelength: 850 nm
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber
• Reach: short-range multimode links (typical distances depend on fiber grade)
• Connector type: standard SFP optical interface
• Installation: hot-pluggable

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or media converter until it locks in place, then connect the multimode fiber cable using the appropriate LC-style connector and ensure correct fiber polarity. The device is hot-pluggable, so it can be installed or replaced while the host remains powered on; observe electrostatic discharge precautions during handling. Configure the host port for the required link speed and duplex settings if necessary, and verify link status and optical diagnostics through the network equipment management interface.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber with the correct modal bandwidth (OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4) for your required link length and follow manufacturer guidance for maximum reach. Verify compatibility with the host equipment's SFP slot and firmware, and avoid bending or stressing fiber cables near the transceiver to maintain optical performance.
