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

The BlueOptics SFP Transceiver CBO AFCT-5705PZ Fiber Optic 1000Base-SX 850nm is a hot-pluggable small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module engineered for short-range Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fiber. It operates at 850 nm wavelength and supports 1000Base-SX links, providing a standard optical interface for interconnecting switches, routers and other network equipment in data centers and enterprise LANs. The compact SFP form factor enables flexible port upgrades and easy replacement without powering down connected devices.

Advantages

This transceiver offers compatibility with standard SFP slots and supports reliable short-distance fiber connectivity with low power consumption. The 850 nm multimode optic is optimized for cost-effective intra-building links and horizontal cabling runs. Hot-pluggability simplifies maintenance and upgrades, while the module’s design conforms to typical industrial and networking environments for stable operation in rack-mounted and distributed equipment.

Suitable for

• Short-range Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber
• Interconnects between switches and routers within data centers
• Enterprise LAN uplinks and aggregation ports
• Server-to-switch connections in rack environments

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP (small form-factor pluggable) module, hot-pluggable
• Standard: 1000Base-SX for Gigabit Ethernet
• Wavelength: 850 nm for multimode fiber
• Optical medium: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Typical reach: short-range links suitable for intra-building distances (dependent on fiber type and link budget)
• Connector type: Duplex LC compatible
• Power consumption: low-power design suitable for dense installations

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on the network device until it seats securely; ensure the device is compatible with 1000Base-SX optical modules. Connect duplex LC multimode fiber patch cords to the module’s optical ports, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status via the host device’s LEDs or management interface and configure the network port for Gigabit operation as required. For removal, power down the port if recommended by the device manufacturer or follow hot-swap procedures and gently pull the module from the slot.

Recommendations

Use OM2/OM3/OM4 multimode fiber and quality duplex LC patch cords for optimal performance. Keep dust caps on when the transceiver is not connected and follow ESD precautions during handling. Confirm compatibility with the host device and verify firmware or vendor interoperability notes when integrating into managed networks.
