SFP transceiver BlueOptics BO05C856S5D MGBIC-LC01-G 1000BASE-SX 850nm

The BlueOptics BO05C856S5D MGBIC-LC01-G is a hot-swappable SFP transceiver designed for short-range Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber. Operating at an 850 nm wavelength and supporting the 1000BASE-SX standard, this module fits standard SFP ports and uses an LC duplex connector. It is intended for reliable fiber uplinks in data centers, enterprise networks and point-to-point links between switches or from switches to servers.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers hot-swappable installation for minimal downtime and easy replacement. Its compliance with 1000BASE-SX ensures interoperability with equipment supporting Gigabit multimode fiber optics. The LC connector and compact SFP form factor allow high-density port installations while maintaining reliable signal transmission at 850 nm. The module is suitable for environments requiring predictable short-range performance and compatibility with standard SFP sockets.

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or network device until it clicks into place; no tools are required. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Ensure the connected equipment is configured for 1000BASE-SX operation and verify link status through device indicators or management interfaces. To remove the module, disengage any retention mechanism and pull the transceiver straight out while the device is powered down or as directed by the host equipment's hot-swap guidelines.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber of the appropriate grade (for example OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4 as supported by your network) and LC duplex patch cords to achieve the specified short-range performance. Keep dust caps on connectors when the module is not in use and follow ESD precautions during handling. Verify compatibility with the host device and confirm firmware or vendor interoperability notes if the network environment includes equipment from multiple manufacturers.
