SFP Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO SFP-1G-MMF-2KM — 1 Gbps, Multimode, 2 km

The BlueOptics CBO SFP-1G-MMF-2KM is a compact SFP fiber optic transceiver that supports 1 Gbps data transmission over multimode fiber up to 2 km. Designed for installation in standard SFP ports on switches, routers and other network equipment, this hot-pluggable module enables reliable short-reach fiber links for enterprise networks and data center interconnects. The module follows common SFP form-factor conventions to ensure compatibility with a wide range of networking devices that accept small form-factor pluggable transceivers.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a stable 1 Gbps link over multimode fiber for short to medium distances, offering low-latency, predictable performance for network uplinks and server connections. Its hot-pluggable design allows quick replacements or upgrades without shutting down the host device. The compact SFP form factor saves space in patch panels and chassis-based systems and simplifies inventory management when deploying fiber connections across racks and closets.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch uplinks in enterprise and campus networks
• Switch-to-switch links within data centers and wiring closets
• Fiber access to distribution panels and patch panels
• Redundant short-reach links for network segmentation and failover

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps (full duplex)
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Maximum link distance: up to 2 km over MMF
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable), hot-pluggable
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Typical application: Short-reach fiber links for enterprise and data center environments

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or network device until it latches. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cables between devices, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Once powered and connected, verify link status via the host device interface and adjust port configuration for speed and duplex if required. For replacement or upgrade, remove the module by releasing the latch and sliding it out, then insert the new transceiver while the device remains powered if the host supports hot-swap.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode fiber and LC duplex connectors to ensure optimal performance. Verify compatibility with the host device vendor if the switch or router enforces vendor checks. Maintain clean connector end-faces and use dust caps when transceivers are not in use. For distances near the 2 km limit, check fiber type and modal bandwidth to ensure reliable signal integrity.
