Glasvezel-SFP-transceiver CBO SFP-5-BO (losse module, SFP-formfactor)

The Fiber Optic SFP Transceiver CBO SFP-5-BO (single-module, SFP form factor) is a hot-pluggable optical module designed to provide fiber connectivity for network equipment with SFP ports. It implements a single optical channel for transmit and receive functions in a compact SFP housing, enabling integration with switches and routers that support standard SFP interfaces. Typical installations include data center uplinks, campus backbone links and point-to-point fiber segments where a reliable single-module SFP solution is required.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP module offers a compact SFP form factor for easy hot-swap installation without powering down equipment, reducing maintenance windows. The single-module design provides a straightforward transmit-and-receive optical interface compatible with standard SFP ports, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of network hardware. Its fiber optic construction supports stable optical links with low signal loss and predictable performance over the intended reach.

Suitable for

• Data center uplink connections between switches and aggregation devices
• Campus and enterprise backbone fiber links
• Point-to-point fiber segments for access or distribution layers
• Upgrading switches and routers with SFP fiber interfaces

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Function: single optical transceiver module for transmit and receive
• Interface type: fiber optic connection (SFP port compatible)
• Hot-pluggable: supports insertion and removal without powering down host device
• Typical applications: uplinks, backbone and point-to-point fiber links

How to use

Install the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on the switch or router until it clicks into place, ensuring correct orientation. Connect an appropriate fiber patch cable to the module’s optical connector and link the other end to the corresponding transceiver or fiber interface. Configure the host device’s port settings as required (speed, duplex, and optical settings) and verify link status through device management tools. To remove, power down the port if recommended by the device documentation, disengage any retention mechanism and gently pull the module from the slot.

Recommendations

Use matching fiber types and connectors (single-mode or multimode as specified by the network design), maintain clean optical connectors to avoid signal loss, and follow the host equipment vendor’s guidelines for supported SFP modules to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
