Modulo ricetrasmettitore in fibra ottica BlueOptics AFBR-5710ALZ-BO SFP LC alluminio

The BlueOptics AFBR-5710ALZ-BO SFP LC Aluminium is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for 1000Base-SX optical links. It uses an SFP interface with an LC duplex connector and an aluminium housing, and it supports multimode fiber transmission with matched 850 nm transmitter and receiver wavelengths. The module weighs approximately 20 g and follows MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) form-factor standards for hot-pluggable use in switches, routers and storage equipment that accept compatible SFP transceivers.

Advantages

This BlueOptics transceiver offers compatibility with systems that support the AFBR-5710ALZ form factor and provides optical transmission for up to gigabit speeds. Its aluminium enclosure provides mechanical protection and thermal stability while the LC duplex interface enables simultaneous transmit and receive on two fibers. The module is suitable for multimode fiber links and is designed and tested to meet MSA requirements for interoperability and predictable behaviour in network hardware.

Suitable for

• 1 Gbps Ethernet links over multimode fiber (1000Base-SX)
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems supporting SFP
• Fiber backbone segments and patch panel connections using LC duplex
• Environments requiring hot-pluggable optical modules for maintenance and upgrades

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Wavelength: 850 nm (transmitter and receiver)
• Supported protocol: 1000Base-SX (up to 1.25 Gbit/s)
• Transmission medium: Multimode fiber
• Housing material: Aluminium
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Hot-pluggable MSA-compliant module

How to use

Install the module into an appropriate SFP port on a switch, router or other network device while the device is powered on or as recommended by the equipment vendor for hot-pluggable modules. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module ensuring correct transmit-to-receive orientation. Verify that the host device recognises the module and that link LEDs or management interfaces report an active connection. If digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) is available and supported by the host, use the device management tools to check optical parameters such as Tx/Rx power and temperature.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber for optimal reach and performance with 1000Base-SX links, and route and protect fibers to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress. Confirm host device compatibility with AFBR-5710ALZ form-factor SFP modules before installation and keep firmware or device software up to date to ensure proper recognition and DDM support.
