SFP Transceiver CBO 1100-0144 Fiber Optic 1000Base-SX

SFP Transceiver CBO 1100-0144 Fiber Optic 1000Base-SX is a hot-swappable small form-factor pluggable module designed for gigabit Ethernet transmission over multimode fiber. The module supports 1000Base-SX short-range optical links, enabling high-speed uplinks and interconnections between switches, routers and other network devices. Compatible with SFP ports, it is intended for deployment in data centers, enterprise LANs and industrial network environments where reliable short-distance fiber connectivity is required.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a compact SFP form factor with hot-swap capability for easy installation and replacement without powering down equipment. It is optimized for multimode fiber and short-reach gigabit links, providing stable throughput and low-latency connectivity. The unit is manufactured to industry optical standards ensuring interoperability with a wide range of network devices and supports robust physical link integrity suitable for rack-mounted and distributed network setups.

Suitable for

• Short-range gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber (data center patching)
• Switch-to-switch or switch-to-router uplinks within enterprise LANs
• Network equipment interconnects in telecommunications and industrial sites
• Fiber-based server uplinks and access layer connections

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP (hot-swappable)
• Data rate: 1 Gbps (1000Base-SX)
• Media: Multimode fiber
• Typical reach: short-range multimode distances (dependant on fibre type and transceiver class)
• Wavelength: multimode-optimized optical wavelength (shortwave)
• Protocol compatibility: Gigabit Ethernet

How to use

Insert the SFP module into an available SFP port on a compatible switch or router until it clicks into place, taking standard electrostatic discharge precautions. Connect multimode fiber patch cords with appropriate LC connectors to the module’s optical ports, ensuring correct polarity and clean fiber endfaces. Configure network interfaces on the host device as required for 1000Base-SX operation; the transceiver operates transparently at the physical layer and typically requires no special drivers.

Recommendations

Ensure fiber connectors are clean and undamaged before insertion to maintain signal quality. Match the multimode fiber type (e.g., OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4) and patching practices to the intended reach. Use proper bend radii and secure cable management in racks or conduits to prevent attenuation. For mixed-vendor environments, verify interoperability with device vendor documentation and, if needed, test link performance after installation.
