SFP transceiver CBO SRX-SFP-1GE-SX-ET-BO, 1 Gbit/s, LC connector, SX multimode, 550 m

The SFP transceiver CBO SRX-SFP-1GE-SX-ET-BO is a compact fiber module that provides 1 Gbit/s bidirectional connectivity for short-range multimode applications. With an LC connector and SX multimode optics, it supports links up to 550 m and is intended for insertion into standard SFP ports of switches, routers and fiber interface cards. The module offers hot-plug capability for straightforward installation and replacement without powering down the host device.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver delivers gigabit performance over multimode fiber with predictable reach up to 550 m using SX optics. The LC connector ensures wide compatibility with common multimode patch cables and patch panels. The module’s hot-pluggable design simplifies maintenance and fast network upgrades, while its compliance with standard SFP form-factor dimensions enables interoperability with a broad range of networking equipment.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode uplinks between switches and routers
• Server-to-switch connections in data centers and wiring closets
• Redundant fiber links for network availability and failover
• Upgrading copper ports to gigabit fiber interfaces

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbit/s
• Optical type: SX multimode
• Connector: LC duplex
• Maximum link distance: up to 550 m (multimode fiber)
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Hot-pluggable: yes

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an empty SFP port on a powered network device, ensuring the module clicks into place. Connect an LC duplex multimode fiber cable between this transceiver and the remote multimode transceiver, observing proper Tx/Rx orientation. After physical connection, verify link status via the host device’s port indicators or management interface and configure interface settings (speed, duplex, VLANs, or trunking) as required by your network design.

Recommendations

Use OM2/OM3/OM4 multimode fiber of suitable grade to achieve the specified reach, avoid sharp bends or excessive cable tension, and keep connectors clean. For environments requiring vendor compatibility validation, test interoperability with target switch or router models before large-scale deployment.
