SFP transceiver BlueOptics BO05C856S5D 1000BASE-SX 850nm

The BlueOptics BO05C856S5D 1000BASE-SX 850nm SFP transceiver is a hot-pluggable Small Form-Factor Pluggable module designed for gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber. It supports 1000BASE-SX operation at an 850 nm wavelength and is intended for short-range optical connections. The transceiver fits standard SFP ports on network switches, routers and servers and provides a compact, modular way to add fiber connectivity to existing copper or fiber systems.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver provides standardized 1000BASE-SX performance with an 850 nm VCSEL light source optimized for multimode fiber. Its hot-pluggable design enables installation or replacement without powering down equipment, and its SFP form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of networking hardware. The module is suitable for short-distance links where multimode fiber is used and helps maintain consistent gigabit throughput.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP port on the network switch, router or server until it clicks into place, then secure the cable using the LC duplex connector. Verify link status through the device management interface or LED indicators. To remove, gently pull the release latch and slide the module out. Follow the host equipment manufacturer’s guidance for supported SFP modules and any necessary configuration steps, such as enabling the port or setting link speed to 1 Gbps.

Recommendations

Use appropriate multimode fiber (OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4) and verify maximum reach for the chosen fiber grade. Ensure proper fiber handling and clean connectors before insertion to avoid signal loss. Avoid inserting or removing the transceiver while exposed to strong dust or humidity and store spare modules in protective packaging when not in use.
