SFP transceiver CBO AFCT-5760NPZ 850nm multimode fiber, max 550 m

SFP transceiver CBO AFCT-5760NPZ 850nm multimode fiber, max 550 m is a compact optical module for short-range multimode fiber links. It operates at a wavelength of 850 nm and is intended for insertion into standard SFP ports on switches, routers and media converters to provide reliable optical connectivity for local network uplinks and device interconnection within campus and enterprise environments.

Advantages

The transceiver supports multimode fiber and enables data transport over distances up to 550 meters, offering a practical solution for short-reach fiber segments. Its SFP form factor ensures hot-pluggable installation and compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment that accepts SFP modules. The module provides optical link capability without requiring changes to existing switch or converter hardware, simplifying upgrades from copper to fiber where needed.

Suitable for

• Short-range uplinks between access and distribution switches within buildings or across nearby buildings
• Connecting media converters to extend network segments over multimode fiber
• Interconnecting network devices in campus, data center edge or enterprise wiring closets

Key specifications

• Optical wavelength: 850 nm
• Fiber type: multimode fiber (MMF)
• Maximum reach: up to 550 meters (on appropriate multimode fiber)
• Form factor: SFP (hot-pluggable)
• Interface: optical duplex connector (compatible with standard multimode patch cables)
• Typical application: short-reach Ethernet or fiber links in local networks

How to use

Install the SFP transceiver into an available SFP slot on a switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered according to the equipment manual for hot-pluggable modules. Connect multimode fiber patch cables to the transceiver’s optical ports, observing correct fiber polarity and connector type. Verify link status LEDs on the host device and confirm link parameters in the device management interface. Ensure the connected fiber and patch cords meet multimode specifications appropriate for 850 nm operation and the intended reach.

Recommendations

To achieve reliable performance, use OM2/OM3/OM4 multimode fiber rated for 850 nm and follow vendor guidelines for maximum distance and insertion loss. Keep fiber connectors clean and inspect them before connection. Match transceiver settings and network speeds between endpoints and monitor link status after installation.
