SFP Transceiver CBO AFCT-5705PZ 1000Base-SX 850nm Fiber Optic

CBO AFCT-5705PZ 1000Base-SX 850nm Fiber Optic SFP transceiver is a compact, hot-pluggable module designed for short-reach Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber. It provides a standardized interface for switches, routers and network interface cards, enabling straightforward installation or replacement of fiber endpoints in data centers, campus networks and enterprise environments. The module operates at an 850 nm wavelength and supports 1000Base-SX signaling for reliable gigabit connectivity on multimode fiber runs.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers a small form-factor and hot-pluggable convenience, reducing maintenance downtime during upgrades or replacements. Its 850 nm multimode design is optimized for short-range links, offering stable performance in typical data center and campus cabling scenarios. Compatibility with standard SFP slots ensures broad interoperability with network equipment from multiple vendors while keeping power consumption and heat generation low.

Suitable for

• Short-range Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber in data centers
• Campus network backbone and building-to-building connections
• Upgrading or replacing SFP modules in switches, routers and NICs
• Enterprise network edge and aggregation switches

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Data rate: 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Wavelength: 850 nm
• Media: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Range: short-range operation (typical for 1000Base-SX over MMF)
• Interface: LC duplex connector
• Hot-pluggable: Yes
• Power consumption: low (suitable for rack deployments)

How to use

Install the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or network interface card until it clicks into place. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cables to the transceiver’s connector, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. After insertion and cabling, verify link status and network configuration on the host device; the module is hot-pluggable so it can be inserted or removed without powering down equipment. Ensure fiber connectors and ports are clean before making the connection to maintain signal quality.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use high-quality multimode fiber and LC duplex patch cords, keep connectors clean with appropriate cleaning tools, and verify that the fiber type and modal bandwidth meet the distance requirements of 1000Base-SX. Check compatibility with the network equipment vendor’s SFP listings if vendor locking is a concern.
