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

The BlueOptics SFP fiber optic transceiver AFCT-5760ATLZ is a compact short-range module designed for multimode fiber links at a wavelength of 850 nm. It supports optical transmission distances up to 550 m and is compatible with standard SFP ports, allowing direct integration into switches, routers and media converters. The module is hot-swappable, enabling fast replacement or upgrades without powering down the host device and is intended for local area networks and data center interconnects where reliable short-reach optical connectivity is required.

Advantages

The transceiver offers straightforward installation via a standard SFP form factor and hot-swap capability, reducing downtime during maintenance. Its 850 nm VCSEL-based optical interface is optimized for multimode fiber, delivering predictable link performance up to the specified 550 m range. The compact design and industry-standard electrical interface ensure compatibility with a wide range of network equipment supporting SFP modules.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode fiber links inside enterprise LANs
• Data center rack-to-rack or shelf-to-shelf connections
• Fiber connections for switches, routers and media converters with SFP ports
• Upgrades or replacements of existing SFP-based optical links

Key specifications

• Optical wavelength: 850 nm optimized for multimode fiber
• Maximum transmission distance: up to 550 m over multimode fiber
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Fiber type: multimode
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Interface: electrical SFP host edge compatible
• Hot-pluggable design for in-service replacement

How to use

Insert the transceiver into a compatible SFP port on the network device until it clicks into place, then secure the fiber cables using LC duplex connectors. Ensure the multimode fiber and patch cords meet the required specifications for 850 nm operation and the intended distance. After installation, verify link status indicators on both the transceiver-host device and the remote endpoint. To replace the module, power-down is typically not required; depress the latch and pull the module straight out, then insert the new module following the same procedure.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode fiber and clean LC connectors to maintain signal integrity. Observe manufacturer guidelines for operating temperature and handling, and avoid bending fiber beyond its minimum bend radius. For reliable performance at longer multimode distances, confirm the fiber type (OM3/OM4) and channel loss budget match the 550 m requirement.
