Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO SFPGSX2 850nm multimode up to 550m

CBO SFPGSX2 850nm multimode up to 550m is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for short-range multimode links. Operating at a wavelength of 850 nm, the module supports optical transmission and reception over multimode fiber with a maximum reach of approximately 550 meters. It is compatible with network equipment that accepts standard SFP multimode transceivers and is intended for use in data communication environments such as access networks, campus backbones and short interconnects between switches, routers and media converters.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a compact SFP form factor that simplifies installation and hot-swap replacement in compatible ports. With an 850 nm VCSEL-based optical interface optimized for multimode fiber, it offers reliable short-range optical links and predictable reach up to 550 m under recommended fiber conditions. The module supports standard SFP electrical and mechanical interfaces to ensure interoperability with many networking devices used in enterprise and service provider networks.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode fiber links within buildings or between nearby equipment racks
• Connections between switches, routers and media converters in campus and data center access layers
• Replacement or upgrade of existing 850 nm SFP multimode transceivers

Key specifications

• Optical wavelength: 850 nm
• Fiber type: multimode fiber (MMF)
• Maximum reach: up to 550 meters (dependent on fiber type and optical loss)
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Optical interface: multimode VCSEL transmitter and photodiode receiver
• Data rates: compatible with standard SFP data-rate ranges used in short-range links
• Connector type: duplex LC (typical for multimode SFP modules)

How to use

Insert the SFP module into a compatible SFP port on a switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect duplex multimode fiber cables with LC connectors to the module's optical ports, ensuring correct transmit-to-receive alignment. After physical installation the host device should recognize the transceiver and negotiate the appropriate link parameters. Verify link status and signal quality using the host device management interface and perform end-to-end testing to confirm expected reach and performance for the chosen multimode fiber.

Recommendations

Use the transceiver with multimode fiber that meets industry standards (for example OM1, OM2, OM3 or OM4 as applicable) and keep fiber connectors clean to maintain optimal optical performance. Check the host device compatibility list for supported SFP modules and confirm that fiber attenuation and connector loss are within acceptable limits for links approaching the maximum 550 m reach.
