SFP fiber optic transceiver CBO AFCT-5760ANPZ 850nm multimode, up to 550 m

CBO AFCT-5760ANPZ is an SFP fiber optic transceiver designed for short-range multimode links at a wavelength of 850 nm. The module provides a compact, hot-pluggable interface compatible with 1G Ethernet and other SFP-capable network equipment. With a reach of up to 550 m over multimode fiber, it enables reliable optical connections between switches, routers and servers in campus networks, data centers and enterprise environments.

Advantages

The transceiver offers hot-pluggable installation for minimal downtime and easy upgrades. Its multimode 850 nm optical interface supports short-reach links up to 550 m, allowing flexible placement of equipment within buildings or across nearby facilities. The compact SFP form factor reduces space requirements in populated switch ports and supports standard SFP-compatible network interfaces for broad interoperability.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between switches and aggregation points in campus networks
• Inter-rack or inter-room links in data centers
• Server uplinks to access switches within enterprise wiring closets
• Optical connections in office buildings and educational institutions

Key specifications

• Wavelength: 850 nm multimode
• Maximum reach: up to 550 m over multimode fiber
• Form factor: SFP (hot-pluggable)
• Supported data rate: 1 G (Gigabit Ethernet compatible)
• Connector type: duplex LC (typical for multimode SFPs)
• Optical type: multimode fiber interface
• Operating environment: indoor networking, structured cabling

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an SFP socket on a compatible switch, router or server while the host device is powered on or following the vendor's hot-swap guidance. Connect duplex multimode fiber with LC connectors, ensuring correct transmit-to-receive orientation. Verify link status and speed on the host device's management interface and monitor optical power or error counters if available. For initial setup, confirm the fiber type and patching distances do not exceed the specified 550 m reach.

Recommendations

Use OM2/OM3/OM4 multimode fiber according to installed cabling standards and keep patch cables and connectors clean to maintain optical performance. Match the transceiver's wavelength and multimode type at both ends of the link. For longer distances or single-mode applications, select an appropriate single-mode transceiver instead.
