SFP fiber optic transceiver CBO AFCT-5715APZ 155 Mbps, 850 nm

CBO AFCT-5715APZ is an SFP fiber optic transceiver that supports a 155 Mbps data rate over an 850 nm wavelength. Intended for short-range multimode fiber connections, this compact SFP module provides hot-pluggable interoperability for switches, routers and media converters used in Ethernet and telecom environments. The module is suitable for integrating or restoring fiber links where space and compatibility with standard SFP ports are required.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a compact, hot-swappable SFP form factor that simplifies installation and maintenance without powering down equipment. It uses an 850 nm wavelength optimized for short-distance multimode fiber, enabling reliable data transmission at 155 Mbps. Compatibility with standard SFP ports ensures broad interoperability with network switches, routers and media converters. Its compact design reduces rack space and allows straightforward replacement or upgrade of fiber interfaces.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode fiber links in LAN and campus networks
• Connecting switches, routers and media converters with SFP ports
• Network upgrades, repairs and capacity expansions
• Telecom equipment requiring 155 Mbps optical interfaces

Key specifications

• Form factor: Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP)
• Data rate: 155 Mbps
• Wavelength: 850 nm
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (short-range)
• Connector type: Standard SFP optical interface
• Hot-pluggable: Yes

How to use

Install the transceiver into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect the multimode fiber patch cable (with matching connector type) to the module and ensure correct fiber polarity. After insertion, verify link status and data transmission via the host device's management interface or indicator LEDs. To remove, power down any affected ports if required by the host device, press the release mechanism and gently pull the module from the slot.

Recommendations

Use OM1/OM2/OM3 multimode fiber for short-distance links and keep connectors clean to maintain signal quality. Verify device compatibility with the SFP form factor and 155 Mbps link speed before installation. Handle the transceiver by its housing and avoid touching the optical interface; use protective dust caps when the module is not connected.
