SFP Transceiver CBO AFCT-5760LZ 1000Base-SX 850nm Multimode Fiber

The BlueOptics SFP Transceiver AFCT-5760LZ is a compact, hot-pluggable module designed for 1000Base-SX gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber at an operating wavelength of 850 nm. It provides short-range optical connectivity suitable for interconnecting switches, servers and other network devices in data center and enterprise environments. The transceiver supports standard SFP form factor installation, enabling straightforward insertion and replacement without powering down network equipment.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers compatibility with standard gigabit Ethernet ports and a compact hot-pluggable design that simplifies upgrades and maintenance. Its 850 nm multimode operation delivers reliable short-range performance with low power consumption and predictable optical characteristics. The device is engineered for stable optical links in dense rack environments and supports common monitoring and diagnostic workflows when used with compatible network hardware.

Suitable for

• Short-range gigabit Ethernet connections over multimode fiber within data centers
• Linking switches, servers and storage appliances in enterprise networks
• Network equipment upgrades or replacements requiring SFP modules
• Patch-panel to switch or cross-connect applications in wiring closets

Key specifications

• Protocol: 1000Base-SX (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Wavelength: 850 nm for multimode fiber
• Optical interface: LC connector (multimode)
• Form factor: Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP), hot-pluggable
• Typical reach: short-range multimode links (depends on fiber type and link budget)
• Power consumption: low-power design suitable for high-density deployments

How to use

Install the transceiver by inserting it into a compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or network interface card until it clicks into place. Connect multimode fiber cables with LC connectors to the transceiver ports, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. After insertion, confirm link status using the host device management interface or indicator LEDs. To remove the module, power down the port if recommended by the equipment vendor, unlock the SFP latch and pull the transceiver straight out. Follow the network equipment manufacturer’s instructions for safe hot-plug procedures if power-down is not required.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber (OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4) appropriate for the required link distance and ensure connectors are clean to maintain signal integrity. Verify compatibility with your switch or router vendor and check optical budget calculations for reliable operation. Store spare modules in anti-static packaging and avoid touching optical interfaces; use dust caps when ports are unused.
