Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO MGB-ALB10 1000Base-SX 850nm

CBO MGB-ALB10 1000Base-SX 850nm is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber. Compliant with the 1000Base-SX standard and operating at a wavelength of 850 nm, the module provides short-range optical connectivity suitable for network switches, routers and other equipment that require reliable multimode fiber links. Its compact form factor supports straightforward installation and replacement in compatible SFP ports while maintaining interoperable 1000Base-SX performance.

Advantages

The transceiver offers standardized 1000Base-SX compatibility and consistent optical performance at 850 nm for multimode fiber. Its small form factor enables easy hot-swap installation in SFP slots and simplifies upgrades or maintenance of existing network hardware. The module is intended to provide cost-effective short-range connectivity with predictable link characteristics, reducing the need for custom cabling or specialized hardware.

Suitable for

• Short-range gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber in data centers and server rooms
• Interconnects between switches and routers within campus networks
• Network equipment upgrades or replacements where 1000Base-SX is required

Key specifications

• Standards compliance: 1000Base-SX gigabit Ethernet
• Operating wavelength: 850 nm
• Fiber type: multimode fiber (MMF)
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Typical application range: short-range multimode links

How to use

Install the module into an available SFP port on compatible network equipment until it clicks into place and the host recognizes the transceiver. Connect multimode fiber patch cables to the module's optical connector and ensure correct polarity and secure connections. Verify link status and speed on the host device and, if necessary, adjust interface settings to enable 1000 Mbps operation. For replacement, remove the existing SFP module while the port is powered down or follow hot-swap procedures supported by the host device.

Recommendations

Use OM1/OM2/OM3 multimode fiber appropriate for short-range 1000Base-SX links and adhere to recommended maximum distances for each fiber type. Keep optical connectors clean and capped when not in use to maintain signal quality. Confirm compatibility with the host device and review link diagnostics after installation to ensure stable operation.
