SFP fiber optic transceiver CBO AFCT-5710PZ 1000Base-SX 850nm multimode

The CBO AFCT-5710PZ 1000Base-SX 850nm multimode SFP fiber optic transceiver from BlueOptics is a hot-pluggable module designed for short-range Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber. It uses an LC duplex interface and transmits at a wavelength of 850 nm, making it suitable for typical LAN environments where reliable, low-latency uplinks between switches, routers and servers are required. The module conforms to SFP form factor dimensions and electrical/optical characteristics used in network equipment that supports 1000Base-SX operation.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers hot-pluggable installation to minimize downtime during maintenance or upgrades and supports standard 1000Base-SX optical signalling for broad interoperability with network hardware. The LC duplex connector provides stable duplex communication, while the optimized 850 nm multimode transmission ensures energy-efficient short-range performance. The compact SFP design allows flexible port density in switches and servers and helps maintain predictable link behaviour in LAN topologies.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet uplinks in enterprise and data center LANs
• Short-range multimode fiber connections between switches and routers
• Server uplinks where LC duplex interfaces are required
• Network equipment replacements or capacity expansion using SFP ports

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Data rate: 1 Gbit/s (1000Base-SX)
• Wavelength: 850 nm
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Connector: Duplex LC
• Range: short-range multimode links (typical distances depend on fiber type and modal bandwidth)
• Hot-pluggable: yes

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP port on a switch, router or network interface card while the host device is powered according to the equipment manufacturer's hot-plug guidelines. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cables to the transceiver's LC sockets, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status and speed through the network device management interface; the module operates as a standard 1000Base-SX optical port once the link is established. Follow the host device documentation for any required configuration or diagnostic procedures.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber with appropriate modal bandwidth to achieve expected link distances and test links after installation. Keep LC connector endfaces clean and protected when not in use, and follow static-sensitive handling and insertion/removal best practices to avoid damage to the module and host port.
