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

The CBO AFCT-5710LZ 1000Base-SX 850nm Fiber Optic SFP Transceiver is a hot-pluggable module intended for short-range Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber. It complies with standard SFP electrical and optical interfaces and is compatible with network switches, routers and media converters that accept SFP modules. The transceiver operates at 850 nm and supports 1000Base-SX signalling, providing a compact solution for short-reach fiber connections commonly found in data centers, enterprise server rooms and campus networks.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers a compact, hot-swappable design that simplifies installation and replacement without powering down equipment. Its 850 nm VCSEL-based optical interface is optimized for multimode fiber performance at Gigabit speeds, delivering low latency and stable link characteristics for short-distance links. Standardized electrical and optical pinouts ensure broad compatibility with SFP-capable network hardware that follows industry specifications.

Suitable for

• Short-range Gigabit Ethernet connections over multimode fiber inside data centers
• Inter-switch and switch-to-server links within enterprise racks and server rooms
• Campus backbone segments and building-to-building fiber runs over multimode cable
• Media converter installations converting copper Ethernet to fiber

Key specifications

• Form factor: Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP), hot-pluggable
• Data rate: 1.25 Gbit/s (1000Base-SX)
• Optical wavelength: 850 nm
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Typical reach: short-reach distances over multimode fiber (application dependent)
• Power consumption: low-power SFP class (nominal module consumption varies by vendor)
• Interface: standard SFP electrical and optical interface for network equipment

How to use

Ensure the target device supports SFP modules and 1000Base-SX operation over multimode fiber before installation. Handle the transceiver by the housing, avoiding contact with the optical ports; keep dust caps in place until ready to connect. Insert the module into the SFP slot until it seats and the device indicates link presence. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Monitor link and speed indicators on the host device and verify end-to-end connectivity using standard network testing tools.

Recommendations

For reliable short-reach performance, use compatible multimode fiber types and quality LC patch cords, observe maximum recommended link lengths for 850 nm VCSEL optics, and maintain clean connector endfaces. When replacing modules, power-down is generally not required due to the hot-pluggable SFP design, but follow your network equipment vendor guidelines for module compatibility and firmware requirements.
