HP J4858A 1000BASE-SX SFP Transceiver

This HP J4858A compatible SFP transceiver delivers 1 Gbps connectivity over multi-mode fibre at 850nm wavelength. It targets network engineers and system integrators who need reliable short-range links for Gigabit Ethernet switches and routers in campus or data-centre environments.

Upgrade From Copper Or Longer-Reach Optics

The module replaces copper uplinks or older 100 Mbps fibre interfaces where 550 metre reach over OM2 multi-mode fibre is required. The jump is justified when existing infrastructure uses LC duplex cabling and the link budget fits within the 1000BASE-SX standard without needing single-mode distance.

550 Metre Multi-Mode Capacity And Headroom

The transceiver comfortably handles full-duplex Gigabit traffic across 550 metres of OM2 fibre with standard LC connectors. Headroom diminishes on higher-bandwidth OM3 or OM4 plant where modal dispersion is lower but the 850nm VCSEL source and receiver sensitivity remain the limiting factors for reach.

Questions about this item

Will the LC duplex connector on this SFP mate with my OM2 patch cables?

Yes, the module uses a standard LC duplex interface that plugs directly into OM2 multi-mode patch cords for 1000BASE-SX links.

After inserting the transceiver, why does the Link/Activity LED stay dark even though the switch port shows up?

The most common mistake is crossing the Tx and Rx fibres; swap the two LC ferrules at one end so each transmitter faces the opposite receiver.

How often should I clean the LC ferrules on this 850 nm module to keep the 550 m reach?

Inspect and clean both ferrules with a dry click cleaner every time you disconnect or at least once per year in permanent installations.
