Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO MGB-L70 1000Base-SX 850nm SFP

The BlueOptics Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO MGB-L70 1000Base-SX 850nm SFP is a compact SFP module engineered for short-range Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber. It operates at a wavelength of 850 nm and conforms to the 1000Base-SX standard, providing hot-pluggable compatibility with standard SFP ports on switches, servers and media converters. The module is intended for reliable short-distance optical connectivity in campus networks, data centers and enterprise environments where multimode fiber is deployed.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a standard SFP form factor for easy installation and replacement without powering down equipment. Operating at 850 nm, it supports gigabit throughput over multimode fiber for efficient short-range data transport. Its compact design and industry-standard electrical and optical interfaces ensure broad interoperability with networking hardware that accepts SFP modules.

Suitable for

• Short-distance Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber
• Connections between switches, servers and media converters within a building or campus
• Upgrading ports on compatible network devices that support SFP 1000Base-SX modules

Key specifications

• Standard: 1000Base-SX gigabit Ethernet
• Wavelength: 850 nm
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable), hot-pluggable
• Fiber type: multimode fiber (MMF)
• Typical application: short-range optical links (local and campus networks)

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP port on the network device until it seats securely; follow the device manufacturer’s guidance for latch or release mechanisms. Connect the multimode fiber patch cable with the appropriate connector type to the transceiver’s optical interface, ensuring correct polarity and clean fiber end-faces. After connection, verify link status and speed through the network device management interface or port LEDs. For safe removal, disable the port if required by the device and use the module’s release mechanism to extract the transceiver.

Usage recommendations

Use multimode fiber rated for the intended distance and maintain clean connector end-faces to prevent signal loss. Verify that the host device supports 1000Base-SX SFP modules and consult the device compatibility list if available. Avoid exposure to electrostatic discharge during handling and follow standard ESD precautions when installing or removing the module.
