SFP Transceiver CBO AFCT-5701LZ 1000Base-LX Fiber Optic 1310nm

The BlueOptics SFP Transceiver CBO AFCT-5701LZ 1000Base-LX Fiber Optic 1310nm is a compact gigabit SFP module designed for single-mode fiber links. It supports 1000Base-LX operation at a wavelength of 1310 nm, providing optical connectivity for switches, routers and media converters. The small form-factor pluggable design allows hot-plug installation and straightforward upgrades for long-distance Ethernet connections.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers compatibility with standard 1000Base-LX interfaces and low power consumption suitable for rack-mounted and edge devices. Its single-mode 1310 nm transmission enables reliable data transport over extended distances. The compact SFP form factor simplifies inventory and network design by enabling tool-free insertion and replacement without powering down network equipment.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and routers
• Long-distance fiber links in campus and metropolitan networks
• Interfacing media converters to single-mode fiber
• Server room and data center fiber connections requiring 1310 nm optics

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an available SFP port on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect the single-mode LC duplex fiber patch cable to the module’s optical ports, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the network device for 1000Base-LX operation if required by the host equipment. Monitor link status via the device management interface or LEDs to verify successful optical connection.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC duplex fiber with appropriate polarity and ensure fiber connectors are clean before installation to maintain signal quality. Match the transceiver’s wavelength and link budget to the fiber span and any inline components. For best results in data center or telecom environments, follow manufacturer guidelines for ESD protection and operating temperature ranges.
