SFP transceiver CBO AFCT-5705LZ 1000Base-LX 1310 nm single-mode

CBO AFCT-5705LZ is an SFP optical transceiver designed for 1000Base-LX operation at 1310 nm over single-mode fiber. The module provides gigabit Ethernet connectivity for switches, routers and media converters, enabling long-reach links and stable uplink/baseline connections in campus, data center and enterprise networks. It follows common SFP form-factor standards to ensure compatibility with equipment that supports hot-swappable small form-factor pluggable modules.

Advantages

The transceiver offers reliable single-mode fiber performance with 1310 nm wavelength for extended reach and low dispersion losses. Its SFP form factor supports hot-swapping and straightforward installation in compatible ports, minimizing downtime during upgrades or replacements. The module is compliant with 1000Base-LX signaling, giving predictable interoperability with standard gigabit Ethernet devices and media converters used in backbone and uplink scenarios.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and routers over single-mode fiber
• Long-distance connections in campus and metropolitan area networks
• Media converters and network appliances requiring 1000Base-LX SFP modules
• Backbone links where standardized, hot-swappable fiber interfaces are needed

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Data rate: 1.25 Gbps (1000Base)
• Wavelength: 1310 nm
• Fiber type: Single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Typical application: 1000Base-LX gigabit Ethernet
• Form factor: Hot-swappable SFP transceiver

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or media converter while the device is powered on or during maintenance windows according to the host equipment manual. Connect a single-mode fiber patch cable to the transceiver’s fiber connector, observing proper polarity and connector type. After physical installation, verify link status in the host device’s management interface and confirm negotiated speed and duplex. Follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the module and keep protective caps on the fiber connector when not in use.

Recommendations

Use single-mode patch cables with appropriate connectors and maintain clean fiber endfaces to ensure signal quality. Verify compatibility with the host device’s SFP specifications and firmware; if the host enforces vendor checks, consult the equipment documentation for supported module lists. For long-distance links, plan for optical loss budget and, if necessary, use amplifiers or dispersion-compensating equipment as part of the link design.
