SFP transceiver CBO SFP-SX-LC1-BO 125 Mbit/s 850 nm LC multimode

CBO SFP-SX-LC1-BO is an SFP form-factor fiber optic transceiver designed for short-range multimode fiber connections. The module operates at an 850 nm wavelength and supports a data rate of 125 Mbit/s, providing a simple fiber uplink solution for compatible network equipment such as switches, routers and media converters. Its LC duplex connector and small form-factor make it suitable for compact ports and straightforward hot-swappable replacement in systems that accept standard SFP modules.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers a standardized SFP interface with multimode support and an LC duplex connector, offering reliable short-distance optical transmission at 850 nm and a fixed 125 Mbit/s data rate. Its small form factor and compatibility with common network devices allow quick installation and removal without disrupting system operation. Designed for predictable performance in local networks, the module reduces the need for copper cabling in uplinks and supports fibre-based noise immunity and signal integrity.

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Operational wavelength: 850 nm
• Data rate: 125 Mbit/s
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Typical application range: short-range multimode links (local area networks)

How to use

Install the module into an SFP-compatible port on switches, routers or media converters while the host device follows manufacturer hot-swap guidance; ensure compatible multimode fiber cabling with LC duplex connectors is used and that transmit and receive channels are correctly crossed. After insertion, verify link status on the host device and confirm correct data transmission rates and optical signal levels via network management tools or device LEDs. Remove the module by powering down the port or following the equipment vendor's hot-swap instructions to avoid mechanical damage.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber patch cords rated for the target link distance and maintain clean LC connector endfaces to minimise insertion loss. Verify that the host equipment supports SFP modules with 850 nm multimode optics at the specified data rate before deployment. For longer runs or single-mode environments select appropriate transceivers designed for those conditions.
