Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics AFBR-5715ALZ-BO 850 nm SFP

The BlueOptics AFBR-5715ALZ-BO is a fiber optic SFP transceiver designed for 1000Base-SX applications. Operating at a wavelength of 850 nm, this SFP module uses an LC duplex interface for multi-mode fiber links and supports typical short-range Ethernet and optical networking requirements. The module is lightweight (approximately 20 g), RoHS compliant and manufactured to MSA-compatible form-factor and electrical specifications for interoperability with CE- and FC-class systems.

Advantages

This transceiver provides 850 nm transmit and receive capability suitable for multi-mode fiber up to typical short-range distances. Its SFP form factor ensures hot-pluggable installation in compatible switches, routers and storage devices. The LC duplex connector enables simultaneous transmit and receive channels over separate fibers. RoHS compliance and adherence to MSA mechanical and electrical specifications support broad compatibility and environmental standards.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Short-range gigabit Ethernet links over multi-mode fiber (1000Base-SX)
• Interconnects between switches, routers and patch panels in data centers
• Fiber connections for storage area networks and server uplinks
• Replacement or upgrade of SFP ports that accept MSA-compliant 1000Base-SX modules

How to use

Install the BlueOptics AFBR-5715ALZ-BO into an available SFP slot on a compatible network device while the device is powered on or off according to the host equipment manual; the SFP form factor supports hot-pluggable operation where supported. Connect LC duplex fiber patch cords to the module ensuring correct transmit/receive alignment and use appropriate multi-mode fiber (OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4) for the intended distance. Verify link status on the host device and, where available, enable or check digital diagnostics features in the host to monitor optical parameters.

Recommendations

Use this module with MSA-compliant hosts that list support for 1000Base-SX SFP transceivers. For best performance, pair the transceiver with matching multi-mode patch cords, keep connectors clean, and follow the host vendor’s guidelines for supported third-party modules. Verify that the host device supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) if real-time optical parameter reporting is required.
