SFP Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO AFBR-5701LZ 850nm 550m

The SFP Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO AFBR-5701LZ 850nm 550m is a compact 1G short-range multimode transceiver designed for reliable data links in LANs, server rooms and network closets. It uses an 850 nm VCSEL light source and supports transmission distances up to 550 meters over appropriate multimode fiber. The SFP form factor allows hot-plug installation into compatible switches, routers and media converters, providing a space-saving interface for upgrading or expanding fiber connectivity without powering down equipment.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver delivers stable optical performance for short-range multimode links while maintaining low power consumption in a small, standardized package. Hot-pluggable operation simplifies installation and replacement. The module is compatible with a wide range of SFP ports and is suitable for dense network environments where compact, interchangeable optics reduce downtime and simplify maintenance.

Suitable for

• Upgrading switch or router ports to fiber in enterprise LANs
• Connecting servers to top-of-rack or aggregation switches
• Fiber links in wiring closets, data centers and campus buildings
• Media converters and fiber patch-panel connections for short-range links

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (hot-pluggable)
• Wavelength: 850 nm (VCSEL)
• Maximum transmission distance: up to 550 m over multimode fiber
• Data rate: 1 Gbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet / Fiber Channel compatibility depends on host device)
• Fiber type: multimode fiber (MMF)
• Connector type: duplex LC compatible
• Operating environment: typical indoor networking and data center conditions

How to use

Insert the SFP module into a compatible SFP port on a switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place; no tools are required. Connect the duplex multimode LC fiber patch cable to the module, ensuring correct TX/RX orientation. The host device should recognize the module and configure the port according to its firmware and network settings. For removal, disengage any retaining latch and pull the module straight out while the device is powered on, if supported.

Recommendations

Use OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber for best reach and signal margin up to the specified 550 m; verify link length and port settings before deployment. Keep optical interfaces covered when not connected to avoid contamination, and clean connectors following industry-recommended procedures to maintain signal quality.
