Optický SFP transceiver CBO SFP-SX-LC2 850nm 550m

CBO SFP-SX-LC2 850nm 550m is a fiber optic SFP transceiver designed for short-range multimode fiber connections. Operating at a wavelength of 850 nm, it supports optical links up to 550 meters over multimode fiber and uses an LC duplex connector in the SFP form factor. The module is intended for easy hot-swap installation in compatible switches, routers and optical equipment and provides a straightforward option for upgrading network ports to optical connectivity.

Advantages

The transceiver offers plug-and-play compatibility with standard SFP ports and supports hot-swapping to minimize downtime during maintenance or upgrades. Its 850 nm VCSEL-based transmission is optimized for short-reach multimode fiber links, delivering stable performance for data center uplinks, campus and enterprise networks. The LC duplex interface ensures compact cabling and wide compatibility with multimode fiber patch panels and pre-terminated cables.

Suitable for

• Short-distance multimode fiber links in data centers
• Campus and enterprise network uplinks
• Upgrading switch or router ports from copper to optical
• Patch panels and fiber distribution frames using LC connectors

Key specifications

• Wavelength: 850 nm
• Maximum reach: up to 550 meters on multimode fiber
• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Transmission type: Optical (short-range)

How to use

Install the transceiver by inserting it into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or optical device until it clicks into place. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module's LC connector, ensuring correct polarity. The module supports hot-swap operation, so it can be installed or removed without powering down the host device, but follow the host equipment vendor's procedures for port activation and monitoring. After insertion, verify link status and optical signal levels using the network device interface or management tools.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber for optimal performance at the specified reach, maintain clean LC connectors to avoid signal loss, and follow proper ESD handling and insertion/removal procedures to protect the transceiver and host ports.
