Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO MGB-TSX 1000Base-SX 850nm

CBO MGB-TSX 1000Base-SX 850nm is a fiber optic transceiver designed for short-range Gigabit Ethernet connections over multimode fiber. It supports 1000Base-SX standards and operates at an 850 nm wavelength to deliver reliable data transmission between switches, routers and media converters. The module offers hot-pluggable, compact SFP form factor compatibility and is intended for straightforward integration into existing network equipment to extend or upgrade local area networks.

Advantages

The transceiver provides stable Gigabit performance for multimode fiber links with a wavelength optimized for short distances. Its SFP form factor ensures wide compatibility with standard network ports and enables simple, plug-and-play installation without system downtime. Built for interoperability, the module reduces the need for specialized cabling or adapters and supports efficient data transfer in campus, office and data center environments.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode fiber connections within buildings and between equipment racks
• Upgrading switches and routers to Gigabit fiber links
• Media converters and patch panel interfaces in local networks
• Campus and office networks requiring reliable short-distance fiber links

Key specifications

• Standard: 1000Base-SX (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Wavelength: 850 nm for multimode fiber
• Form factor: Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP)
• Typical link range: designed for short-distance multimode fiber runs
• Connector type: LC duplex compatible
• Data rate: 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet)

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered on or off, observing electrostatic discharge precautions. Connect duplex multimode fiber with LC connectors to the transceiver, ensuring correct transmit/receive alignment. The module typically negotiates link parameters automatically with the connected device; verify link LEDs or device management interfaces to confirm established connectivity. For best results, use appropriate multimode fiber type and compliant patch cords.

Usage recommendations

Use the transceiver with multimode fiber rated for short-range Gigabit links and maintain clean connectors to avoid optical loss. Verify compatibility with the network equipment vendor's supported SFP list where possible. For extended life, avoid excessive bending of fiber cables and operate within recommended temperature ranges of the host device.
