Transceptor SFP CBO 0231A562-BO 1000 Mbit/s LC SX hasta 550 m

The BlueOptics SFP transceiver 1000 Mbit/s LC SX up to 550 m is a compact, hot-pluggable fiber optic module intended for gigabit network links. It uses an LC duplex connector and SX (shortwave) transmission to support distances up to 550 metres, allowing upgrades or additions to switches, routers and media converters without replacing existing chassis. The module is suitable for short-range multimode fiber connections where a reliable 1 Gbit/s uplink or extension is required.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver provides a compact form factor and hot-pluggable operation for fast installation and minimal downtime. Its LC duplex interface ensures compatibility with common multimode fiber patch cords, and SX shortwave design supports economical short-range links up to 550 m. The module offers a standardized electrical and optical interface for straightforward integration into network equipment that accepts SFP modules, enabling flexible deployment and easy replacement.

Suitable for

• Gigabit uplinks between switches and routers within a building or campus
• Short-distance fiber extensions for data center or wiring closet connections
• Media converters and fiber ports on network appliances requiring SX multimode links
• Replacing or upgrading existing SFP ports to support 1 Gbit/s fiber links

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 000 Mbit/s (1 Gbit/s)
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Optical mode: SX (shortwave) for multimode fiber links
• Maximum reach: up to 550 metres (multimode)
• Form factor: SFP (hot-pluggable)
• Typical applications: switch/router uplinks, media converters, fiber port upgrades

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered on or according to the device manufacturer's hot-plug guidelines. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module's optical ports, observing correct transmitter/receiver orientation. After insertion, verify link status and speed through the host device management interface and confirm that fiber type and length are within the specified range for SX operation.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber patch cords and connectors rated for SX shortwave operation and keep connector end-faces clean to maintain optical performance. Verify compatibility with the host equipment's supported SFP modules and consult equipment documentation when mixing fiber types or when operating near the maximum reach.
