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 from BlueOptics that supports 1 Gbps data transmission over multimode fiber up to 2 km. Designed for hot-pluggable installation in switches, routers and media converters, the module provides a simple way to create short-range optical links in enterprise networks, data centers and campus environments. It is compatible with standard SFP ports and intended for straightforward deployment where reliable multimode connections are required.

Advantages

This multimode SFP transceiver delivers a stable 1 Gbps link over distances up to 2 km with low power consumption and hot-pluggable convenience. Its compact SFP form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment and allows fast replacement or upgrades without powering down devices. The module is engineered for predictable optical performance and easy interoperability with standard multimode fiber cabling.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and routers within buildings or across nearby campus sites
• Linking media converters and network appliances to fiber backbones
• Short-range fiber uplinks in data centers and wiring closets
• Extending network segments where copper cabling is impractical or exceeds distance limits

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps
• Fiber type: multimode fiber (MMF)
• Maximum reach: up to 2 km over multimode fiber
• Form factor: SFP (hot-pluggable)
• Connector type: duplex LC compatible
• Typical power consumption: low (device-specific values vary by implementation)
• Operating temperature range: industrial and commercial variants may differ — consult equipment documentation

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an empty SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered on or according to the vendor’s hot-swap guidance. Attach duplex multimode LC fiber patch cables to the module’s connectors, observing proper TX/RX orientation. Configure the host port for the desired network settings (speed, duplex, VLANs) through the device’s management interface. Monitor link status and optical diagnostics via the host equipment to confirm a stable connection.

Recommendations

Use quality multimode fiber and LC patch cords with appropriate attenuation specifications to achieve the stated 2 km reach. For reliable operation, follow the host device vendor’s guidance on supported transceivers and keep fiber connectors clean to minimize insertion loss. When deploying in mixed vendor environments, verify compatibility and interoperability in a test environment before large-scale rollout.
