SFP Transceiver CBO AFCT-5710APZ Fiber Optic 1000Base-SX 850nm

CBO AFCT-5710APZ is an SFP fiber optic transceiver that supports 1000Base-SX operation at a wavelength of 850 nm. Designed for multimode fiber links, this small form-factor pluggable module provides gigabit Ethernet connectivity for network switches, servers and storage systems. The hot-swappable SFP design allows straightforward integration into standard SFP ports for short-reach data transmission over multimode cables.

Advantages

The module offers reliable gigabit performance for short-reach links with low power consumption and a compact form factor. Compliance with SFP physical standards enables hot-plug installation and easy replacement without powering down equipment. Built for multimode fiber, the transceiver provides stable optical transmission at 850 nm and is suitable for dense rack deployments where space and energy efficiency matter.

Suitable for

• Short-reach gigabit Ethernet connections in data centers
• Inter-switch links using multimode fiber (MMF)
• Server and storage system uplinks
• Campus and enterprise network segments requiring 1000Base-SX

Key specifications

• Form factor: Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP)
• Protocol: 1000Base-SX (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Wavelength: 850 nm
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Reach: short-range links over multimode cable (typical distances depend on fiber grade)
• Hot-swappable: yes
• Connector: LC duplex

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible SFP port on a switch, server or storage device until it clicks into place. Connect an LC duplex multimode fiber cable terminated to the appropriate ports and verify link activity through device LEDs or management interfaces. If replacing an existing module, remove the old SFP while the host is powered as supported by the device, then insert the new module. Confirm link negotiation at 1 Gbps in the host system and check optical settings if required.

Recommendations

Use OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4 multimode fiber according to required reach; ensure clean LC connectors and follow manufacturer guidelines for handling optical modules. Keep spare dust caps when the transceiver is not in use, and verify compatibility with the host device's supported SFP modules and firmware for reliable operation.
