Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO OPT-0050 1000Base-SX 850nm SFP

CBO OPT-0050 1000Base-SX 850nm SFP is a compact fiber optic transceiver designed for Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fiber. It supports 1000Base-SX operation at 850 nm and provides standard-compliant data transmission for network switches, routers and servers. The module is hot-pluggable and intended for short-range links within data centers, server rooms and enterprise LAN environments where multimode fiber cabling is used.

Advantages

The transceiver offers reliable Gigabit connectivity with low power consumption and compatibility with standard SFP ports. Its hot-pluggable design enables maintenance and upgrades without powering down equipment. Optimized for multimode fiber, the module provides stable transmission over short distances and is suitable for mixed-vendor environments thanks to adherence to Ethernet and SFP specifications.

Suitable for

• Short-range connections in data centers and server racks
• Access and distribution layers in enterprise LANs
• Interconnecting switches, routers and servers with multimode fiber
• Upgrading existing equipment to Gigabit Ethernet over multimode cabling

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP form factor, hot-pluggable
• Data rate: 1 Gbps (1000Base-SX)
• Wavelength: 850 nm
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Typical reach: short-range links (multimode-dependent)
• Power consumption: low-power SFP class
• Connector: LC duplex

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP port on a switch, router or server while the host device is powered on, ensuring the module seats firmly. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cables to the module and verify correct transmit/receive orientation. After installation, check link status and diagnostics via the host device interface. For removal, disconnect fiber cables and gently pull the transceiver from the SFP slot using the release mechanism if present.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode fiber and LC duplex patch cords to achieve expected reach and signal integrity. Ensure that the host device supports 1000Base-SX modules and that transceiver firmware or port settings permit third-party SFP modules if applicable. For best results, follow standard fiber handling practices: keep connectors clean, avoid tight bends in fiber, and verify link parameters after installation.
