Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO MGB-TLA40 1000Base-SX 850nm

CBO MGB-TLA40 1000Base-SX 850nm is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for short-range Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fiber. The module supports 1 Gbps data rates using an 850 nm wavelength and is compatible with equipment that accepts standard 1000Base-SX SFP transceivers. It offers hot-pluggable operation, enabling straightforward installation, replacement or network expansion in switches, routers and media converters without powering down connected devices.

Advantages

The transceiver provides reliable 1 Gbps connectivity for short-distance multimode fiber links and adheres to standard 1000Base-SX optical parameters. Its hot-pluggable design reduces downtime during upgrades or maintenance. The 850 nm wavelength and multimode compatibility make it suitable for typical campus, data center and enterprise horizontal cabling where short-reach fiber is used. Built to industry form-factor and electrical/optical specifications, it offers predictable interoperability with compliant network hardware.

Suitable for

• Short-range Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber
• Upgrading or repairing switches, routers and media converters
• Data center patching and campus backbone segments
• Temporary fiber links and lab or test environments

Key specifications

• Standard: 1000Base-SX for Gigabit Ethernet
• Wavelength: 850 nm
• Supported fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Data rate: 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Form factor: Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP), hot-pluggable
• Typical application: Short-reach optical links

How to use

Insert the SFP module into a compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered according to the vendor’s guidance for hot-pluggable modules. Connect the multimode fiber cable with appropriate LC connectors to the transceiver port, ensuring correct fiber type and polarity. Verify link status indicators on the host device and confirm negotiated speed of 1 Gbps. For replacement, remove the existing module carefully and insert the new module without forcing; observe ESD precautions when handling the device.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber with suitable core diameter and quality for 850 nm transmission and keep fiber connectors clean to maintain optimal link performance. Ensure the host device supports 1000Base-SX SFP modules and follow manufacturer instructions for firmware or compatibility lists if available.
