Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO SFPGZX70-w 1000Base-SX 850nm

BlueOptics Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO SFPGZX70-w 1000Base-SX 850nm is a single-mode small form-factor transceiver module designed for Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fiber. It operates at 850 nm and supports 1000Base-SX links for short-range connections. The module is intended for use with compatible network switches and servers to establish reliable fiber links in LANs, data centers and enterprise network segments, providing a standard plug-in interface for quick installation and replacement.

Advantages

The transceiver offers industry-standard SFP form factor compatibility and supports hot-plug installation for minimal service interruption. Its 850 nm wavelength and 1000Base-SX operation are optimized for multimode fiber runs at short distances, delivering predictable performance for gigabit links. The module is built for interoperable use across compliant networking equipment and provides a compact, low-power solution for upgrading or expanding fiber connectivity.

Suitable for

• Short-range Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber in local area networks
• Interconnecting switches and servers within data centers and equipment rooms
• Enterprise network uplinks and horizontal cabling where 850 nm multimode optics are specified

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP (small form-factor pluggable) transceiver
• Data rate: 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) — 1000Base-SX
• Wavelength: 850 nm optimized for multimode fiber
• Cable type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Typical reach: Short-range multimode links (see system planning for exact distances)
• Power consumption: Low-power SFP class module
• Mounting: Hot-pluggable into compatible SFP ports on network equipment

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or server port while the host device is powered on or off according to the equipment vendor's guidelines. Connect multimode fiber patch cords with the correct connector type to the transceiver optical port, ensuring proper polarity and secure connections. Configure the host network interface for 1000Base-SX operation if required; most managed switches will detect the module and negotiate link parameters automatically. Monitor link status LEDs or management interfaces to verify a stable gigabit connection.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use certified multimode fiber and patch cords, verify compatibility with the host device vendor's supported optics list if required, and follow fiber handling best practices such as keeping connectors clean and using dust caps when not connected.
