SFP fiber transceiver CBO SFP-1G-MMF-2KM 1 Gbps multimode 2 km

The CBO SFP-1G-MMF-2KM is a compact SFP fiber transceiver by BlueOptics that delivers 1 Gbps data transfer over multimode fiber for distances up to 2 km. Designed to fit SFP ports on switches and routers, this module enables short-range backbone and access links in data centers, campus networks and enterprise environments. The standardized SFP form factor and hot-pluggable design simplify installation, replacement and network upgrades while maintaining compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment.

Advantages

This multimode SFP transceiver offers reliable 1 Gbps connectivity with low power consumption and a small footprint. Its hot-swap capability allows field replacement without powering down equipment, reducing downtime during maintenance. Compliance with common SFP mechanical and optical parameters ensures broad interoperability, while the support for multimode fiber makes it suitable for cost-effective short-range links.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and routers over multimode fiber within data centers
• Establishing campus network links between buildings or floors
• Replacing or upgrading existing SFP modules in enterprise access switches
• Short-range backbone or aggregation links up to 2 km

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Maximum reach: Up to 2 km
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Interface: Duplex optical
• Hot-pluggable: Yes
• Typical application: Short-range backbone and access links

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on a switch or router until it clicks into place. Connect the multimode fiber patch cable to the duplex optical interface, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status using the host device LEDs or management interface. For field replacement, remove the module by releasing the latch and pulling the transceiver straight out, then insert the replacement module; no power down is required for hot-swap capable systems.

Recommendations

Use certified multimode fiber patch cables and maintain clean connector endfaces to ensure optimal signal quality. Confirm host device compatibility and any vendor interoperability notes before deployment. For runs approaching the 2 km limit, verify link budget and consider optical attenuation and connector losses. Store unused modules in anti-static packaging and avoid exposing optical ports to dust.
