SFP28 Transceiver CBO AFBR-8CER01Z 100G 1m — optical module for 100 Gigabit Ethernet

SFP28 Transceiver CBO AFBR-8CER01Z 100G 1m is a 100 Gigabit optical module designed for short-reach links in data center and enterprise networks. The module fits SFP28 ports and provides a fixed 1-meter fiber connection for high-speed uplinks, server interconnects and switch-to-switch cross-connects. It supports hot-plug installation, allowing straightforward replacement or upgrade without powering down equipment.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers native 100G throughput with low insertion loss and is engineered for predictable signal performance in dense network environments. Its compact SFP28 form factor saves space in populated line cards and chassis, while the 1 m cable simplifies routing on server racks and inside patch panels. Compatibility with standard SFP28 interfaces ensures interoperability with a wide range of switches, routers and servers that accept SFP28 optical modules.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 100 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and spine/leaf fabrics
• Server to top-of-rack switch connections in data center racks
• Cross-connects within aggregation and distribution panels
• High-density patch-panel environments where space and cable management are critical

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP28 form factor for 100G Ethernet ports
• Reach: 1 meter fixed optical cable for short-range connections
• Data rate: 100 Gigabit per second
• Cable type: factory-terminated optical fiber pigtail (1 m)
• Installation: hot-pluggable module

How to use

Insert the SFP28 transceiver into a compatible SFP28 port until it clicks into place, taking care to align the module correctly with the port. Connect the 1 m optical pigtail to the corresponding fiber connector or patch panel input. After installation, verify link status on the connected devices and confirm that the interface negotiates at 100G. For removal, disengage any latch mechanism and gently pull the module straight out.

Recommendations

Handle the optical connector ends with clean hands and keep protective dust caps in place until connection to avoid contamination. Ensure connected equipment supports SFP28 optical modules and configure the interface for 100G operation following vendor guidance. Avoid excessive bending of the short fiber cable and maintain proper airflow in rack installations to preserve signal integrity and module lifespan.
