SFP transceiver BlueOptics BO05C856S5D 1000BASE-SX 850 nm

The BlueOptics BO05C856S5D SFP transceiver is a compact, hot-swappable module that supports 1000BASE-SX operation at an 850 nm wavelength. Intended for multimode fiber applications, it enables gigabit Ethernet links over short distances and is suitable for installation in standard SFP ports of switches, routers and other network equipment. The module's form factor and optical characteristics are designed to provide reliable short-range connectivity in datacenters, enterprise LANs and telecom access points.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers a small form factor for space-efficient port expansion and hot-swappable installation that minimizes downtime during maintenance. Operating at 850 nm for 1000BASE-SX, it is optimized for multimode fiber links and provides predictable signal behaviour for short-range gigabit connections. The module meets typical interoperability expectations for industry-standard SFP ports, simplifying integration with existing network hardware.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on the network device while the device is powered on or as recommended by the equipment vendor to enable hot-swappable operation. Connect multimode fiber patch cords with appropriate LC connectors to the transceiver ports. Verify link status and speed on the host device and configure port settings as required by the network design. For best results, match the transceiver to the multimode fiber specifications (core size and modal bandwidth) used in your infrastructure.

Recommendations

Use this transceiver for short-distance multimode fiber runs and ensure fiber connectors are clean before connection. Confirm compatibility with your switch or router vendor's SFP port, and select multimode patch cords and fiber infrastructure that meet the required core diameter and modal bandwidth for 850 nm operation.
