SFP transceiver CBO AFCT-5715ALZ 1000Base-SX fiber optic

The BlueOptics SFP transceiver CBO AFCT-5715ALZ 1000Base-SX fiber optic is a hot-pluggable module designed for gigabit Ethernet transmission over multimode fiber. It supports short-range links in LANs, server rooms and data centers, offering a compact interface for switches, routers and network interface cards. The module follows the 1000Base-SX standard to provide reliable 1 Gbps connectivity for typical short-distance optical connections.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver provides ease of maintenance with a hot-pluggable design that allows module replacement without powering down network equipment. It is optimized for multimode fiber environments and supports standardized gigabit Ethernet signaling for interoperability with a wide range of networking devices. The compact SFP form factor saves space in dense chassis and allows flexible port configuration for upgrades or repairs.

Suitable for

• Short-reach gigabit Ethernet links in campus LANs
• Interconnects between switches in server rooms and racks
• Fiber uplinks for routers and access switches
• Data center top-of-rack connections over multimode fiber

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Standard: 1000Base-SX (Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fiber)
• Wavelength: multimode-optimized optical wavelength (short wavelength, typically 850 nm)
• Data rate: 1 Gbps (gigabit Ethernet)
• Cable type: multimode fiber (MMF)
• Connector type: LC duplex compatible
• Form factor: hot-pluggable SFP module

How to use

Install the transceiver into an SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or network interface card until it latches. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module, ensuring correct transmit and receive orientation. Verify link status via the device’s LEDs or management interface. For safe handling, avoid touching the fiber endfaces and replace protective dust caps only when connecting. When removing the module, gently press the release mechanism and pull the transceiver straight out.

Recommendations

Use this module with appropriate multimode fiber types (OM1, OM2, OM3 or OM4) and maintain clean fiber endfaces to ensure reliable performance. Confirm device compatibility and supported link distances in equipment documentation before deployment. Store unused modules in dust-free packaging and observe ESD precautions when handling.
