SFP Fiber Transceiver PULSAR 17232 1000Base-SX 850nm Multimode

The SFP Fiber Transceiver PULSAR 17232 1000Base-SX 850nm Multimode is a compact, hot-pluggable optical module engineered for Gigabit Ethernet connections over multimode fiber. Operating at 850 nm and complying with 1000Base-SX signaling, this transceiver enables short-range optical links commonly used in data centers, server rooms and enterprise network closets. The module’s small form factor makes it compatible with standard SFP ports on switches, routers and network interface cards, facilitating simple upgrades and flexible deployment without interrupting operations.

Advantages

This PULSAR SFP transceiver offers reliable short-range optical performance with straightforward installation and hot-swap capability. Its compact SFP form factor reduces space requirements in dense networking equipment while providing stable Gigabit throughput over multimode fiber. The module is designed to maintain consistent optical signal integrity at 850 nm and to integrate with common network hardware supporting SFP interfaces.

Suitable for

• Short-distance Gigabit Ethernet links within data centers and server rooms
• Connections between switches, routers and network interface cards in enterprise networks
• Upgrades from copper to fiber for improved electromagnetic immunity and reduced cable bulk
• Patch-panel and fiber backbone segments using multimode fiber (MMF)

Key specifications

• Interface: Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP)
• Standard: 1000Base-SX (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Wavelength: 850 nm
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Range: optimized for short-range links (typical multimode distances)
• Hot-pluggable: yes

How to use

Insert the transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or server until it latches, then connect the multimode fiber cable using the appropriate LC connector. Ensure the device supporting the transceiver is powered and configured for 1000 Mbps operation if required. Verify link status through the host device’s indicators or management interface and perform basic testing to confirm optical signal and data throughput. For removal, power down the host port if recommended by the equipment vendor, depress the release mechanism and gently extract the module.

Usage recommendations

Use multimode fiber with appropriate attenuation and patching practices, keep optical connectors clean, and follow equipment vendor guidance for SFP compatibility and port configuration to ensure reliable 1000Base-SX operation at 850 nm.
