SFP transceiver CBO AFCT-5705LZ 1000Base-SX 850nm multimode fiber

The BlueOptics CBO AFCT-5705LZ is a compact SFP transceiver module designed for 1000Base-SX Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fiber at an 850 nm wavelength. It provides a hot-pluggable interface in the standard SFP form factor for switches, routers and servers, enabling quick field replacement and reliable short-range fiber links. The module supports typical multimode fiber applications such as data center connections, access networks and enterprise LAN backbones where short-range optical transmission is required.

Advantages

The module delivers reliable 1 Gbps optical connectivity with low power consumption and industry-standard SFP compatibility for straightforward deployment. Hot-pluggable operation allows insertion and removal without powering down equipment, and the 850 nm design is optimized for multimode fiber to achieve short-reach performance. Compact size and standard electrical/optical interfaces simplify upgrades and replacements in existing network hardware.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode fiber links in data centers
• Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and server connections
• Enterprise LAN aggregation and access switches

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP (small form-factor pluggable), hot-pluggable
• Data rate: 1 Gbps (1000Base-SX)
• Operating wavelength: 850 nm
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Typical reach: short-range multimode links (application dependent)
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Power consumption: low (typical for SFP transceivers)

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or server while the host device is powered on to use the hot-pluggable capability. Connect duplex LC multimode fiber patch cables to the transceiver ports, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the network device as necessary for 1000Base-SX operation; many systems auto-negotiate the link speed and duplex. Monitor link status via the host device LEDs or management interface to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

Use high-quality OM3/OM4 multimode fiber for improved short-range performance and maintain clean LC connectors to reduce insertion loss. Verify compatibility with the host device SFP slot and confirm firmware or vendor restrictions if applicable. For reliable links, avoid tight bends in fiber cables and observe manufacturer guidelines for operating temperature and handling.
