Ricetrasmettitore SFP BlueOptics AFBR-5718APZ 1250 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics AFBR-5718APZ is a single‑mode SFP transceiver module designed for 1.25 Gbit/s optical links over multimode fiber at a wavelength of 850 nm. Housed in a metal case with a silver finish, the module operates from a 3.3 V supply and weighs approximately 20 g. It implements the 1000Base‑SX optical standard with an LC duplex connector (SFP form factor) and supports data transmission up to 550 metres over suitable multimode fiber.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP transceiver provides a compact, industry‑standard SFP form factor that fits common switch, router and storage system ports. The metal housing offers mechanical stability and thermal dissipation, while the module’s 850 nm transmit and receive design supports established 1000Base‑SX Ethernet and related protocols. The unit’s compliance with MSA sizing and functional characteristics ensures broad compatibility with network equipment that supports standard 1.25 Gbit/s SFP modules.

Suitable for

• Short‑reach Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage arrays within data centres or campus networks
• Replacing or expanding existing 1000Base‑SX SFP ports

Key specifications

• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Wavelength: 850 nm
• Maximum transmission distance: up to 550 m (multimode fiber, depending on fiber type and link conditions)
• Connector / form factor: SFP (LC duplex compatible)
• Supply voltage: 3.3 V
• Housing material and colour: metal, silver
• Weight: 0.02 kg

How to use

Install the BlueOptics AFBR-5718APZ into any standard SFP slot following the host equipment manufacturer’s hot‑swap and handling guidelines. Ensure proper fibre type and LC duplex cabling for 850 nm multimode operation and verify that the link partner is configured for 1000Base‑SX operation. Observe electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the transceiver and keep the dust caps on the connector until ready for use. After insertion, confirm link status and negotiate speed using the switch or router management interface.

Recommendations

Use this module with compatible multimode fibre (OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4 as applicable) and LC duplex patch cables, and verify compatibility with the host device software. For consistent performance, avoid sharp bends in fibre runs, maintain clean connectors, and follow the equipment vendor’s recommended firmware and compatibility lists.
