SFP transceiver CBO AFCT-5710ALZ 1000Base-SX 850nm

CBO AFCT-5710ALZ 1000Base-SX 850nm is an SFP transceiver module designed for short-range multimode fiber gigabit Ethernet links. The transceiver supports 1000Base-SX operation at an 850 nm wavelength and fits into standard SFP ports on switches, routers and media converters. Its hot-pluggable, compact form factor allows straightforward installation or replacement without powering down equipment, making it suitable for network upgrades, redundancy or port expansion in enterprise and industrial environments.

Advantages

The SFP transceiver provides reliable gigabit connectivity over multimode fiber with low power consumption and stable optical performance at 850 nm. Its hot-pluggable design minimizes downtime during installation or maintenance. The compact SFP form factor ensures broad compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment that accepts SFP modules. The module is intended for short-range links, delivering a cost-effective solution for backbone connections within buildings, data center racks and campus networks.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode fiber connections inside buildings and between adjacent telecommunications rooms
• Upgrading copper ports to gigabit fiber on switches and routers
• Connecting servers, storage arrays and media converters within data centers
• Providing redundant fiber links for network resiliency

Key specifications

• Standards: 1000Base-SX gigabit Ethernet
• Optical wavelength: 850 nm
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Fiber type: multimode fiber (MMF)
• Typical reach: short-range multimode distances (dependent on fiber grade and link budget)
• Hot-pluggable: yes

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 multimode fiber patch cable with the appropriate connectors (typically LC) to the transceiver’s optical interface, ensuring correct polarity. Verify link status on the network device and configure the port for gigabit operation if required by the equipment. To remove the module, disengage the fiber connector, unlock the SFP latch and pull the transceiver straight out while observing ESD precautions.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode fiber and maintain clean connector endfaces to ensure optimal optical performance. Confirm compatibility with the host device’s SFP acceptance and configure port settings as necessary. For longer distances or single-mode requirements, select a transceiver designed for the appropriate wavelength and fiber type.
