Transceptor CBO GMLC2-SX+ fibra óptica 1000Base-SX 850nm

CBO GMLC2-SX+ is a fiber optic transceiver designed for 1000Base-SX operation at 850 nm. This SFP-sized module supports gigabit short-range links over multimode fiber (MMF) and provides standard-compliant connectivity for switches, routers and media converters that accept SFP/SFP+ interfaces. The module is intended to enable or restore 1 Gbps connections across campus, wiring closets or data center patching environments where multimode fiber is used.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a compact SFP form factor that simplifies hot-swap installation and reduces space requirements in dense equipment racks. Support for 850 nm multimode optics ensures compatibility with common MMF cabling and patch panels. The module follows industry signaling and electrical specifications for 1000Base-SX, providing predictable interoperability with standard network equipment. Plug-and-play operation allows quick deployment without manual configuration.

Suitable for

• Establishing or restoring 1 Gbps links between switches and routers over multimode fiber
• Short-range connections within office floors, campus buildings and data center racks
• Integration with media converters, fiber switch uplinks and patch panels
• Network maintenance, spare parts stocking and emergency replacement of faulty transceivers

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps (1000Base-SX)
• Optical wavelength: 850 nm
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Typical reach: short-range multimode links (dependant on fiber grade and link budget)
• Connector type: LC duplex

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an SFP/SFP+ slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect both ends of an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable to the transceiver ports, ensuring correct Tx/Rx orientation. After physical installation the device should be detected by the host equipment and negotiate a 1 Gbps link automatically. Verify link status and optical signal levels using the host device management interface or local LEDs. For removal, power down the port if required by the equipment documentation, then press the release mechanism and gently pull the module out.

Recommendations

Use OM1/OM2/OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber consistent with your required reach and link budget. Keep fiber connectors clean and use dust caps when transceivers are not in use. Match the transceiver’s wavelength and connector type when replacing modules, and consult the network equipment vendor’s compatibility list if vendor-specific restrictions apply.
