SFP Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO AFCT-5710APZ 1000Base-SX 850nm

The SFP Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO AFCT-5710APZ 1000Base-SX 850nm is a compact, hot-pluggable SFP module designed for Gigabit Ethernet transmission over multimode fiber. Operating at a wavelength of 850 nm, this transceiver implements the 1000Base-SX standard and is intended for short-reach optical links in data centers, enterprise networks and campus environments. The standardized SFP form factor enables easy installation into compatible switches, routers and media converters where space and modularity are important.

Advantages

This BlueOptics transceiver offers hot-pluggable convenience and a small SFP footprint that supports flexible port upgrades without shutting down the host device. The 850 nm short-wavelength design is optimized for multimode fiber, providing reliable Gigabit connectivity over short distances. Compatibility with common networking equipment and adherence to 1000Base-SX specifications make it straightforward to integrate into existing fiber infrastructure while keeping power consumption and heat generation low.

Suitable for

• Short-reach Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber in data centers
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections inside wiring closets
• Media converters and modular network devices that accept SFP transceivers
• Enterprise and campus network uplinks where multimode fiber is deployed

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP (small form-factor pluggable), hot-pluggable
• Data rate: 1 Gbps (1000Base-SX)
• Operating wavelength: 850 nm
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Typical reach: short-reach links suitable for multimode deployments
• Power consumption: low power design suitable for dense installations
• Compliance: conforms to IEEE 802.3z/1000Base-SX optical interface standards

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an available SFP slot on a powered network device while observing ESD precautions. After seating the module, connect a compatible multimode fiber patch cable to the optical port and verify link synchronization and LED status on the host device. If necessary, configure the host interface for Gigabit operation and confirm that duplex and speed settings match the network requirements. For removal, disable the interface if required by the host, disconnect the fiber cable, and gently extract the transceiver from the SFP slot.

Recommendations

Use OM1/OM2/OM3 multimode fiber as appropriate for the required reach and ensure clean fiber connectors to maintain signal quality. Keep spare dust caps on unused transceivers and ports, and follow manufacturer guidance for operating temperature and handling to ensure reliable long-term operation.
