SFP-transceiver BlueOptics BO05C856S5D 1000BASE-SX 850 nm

The BlueOptics BO05C856S5D is a compact SFP transceiver module designed for 1000BASE-SX operation at 850 nm. Intended for use in Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber, this hot-pluggable unit fits standard SFP ports on switches, routers and network modules. Its short-range optical interface makes it suitable for data center patching, server-to-switch connections and campus backbone segments where reliable multimode fiber connectivity is required.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a standardized SFP form factor and hot-pluggable installation for fast replacement and upgrades without powering down equipment. Operating at 850 nm, it supports multimode fiber links over typical short distances with low power consumption and stable signal transmission. The module is compatible with devices that adhere to 1000BASE-SX specifications, simplifying interoperability in mixed-vendor environments.

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an available SFP port on the network device until it seats firmly and the latch engages. Connect a duplex multimode fiber cable with LC connectors between transceiver and remote port. Verify link status and speed through the host device management interface; the module supports automatic negotiation per 1000BASE-SX. For removal, power down the port if required by the equipment procedure, disengage the latch and pull the module out by the housing.

Recommendations

Store and handle the transceiver in a dry, electrostatic-safe environment. Use appropriate multimode fiber patch cables and ensure connectors are clean to maintain signal quality. Confirm device compatibility with 1000BASE-SX SFP modules and follow the host equipment vendor guidelines for insertion and removal to avoid damage.
