CBO Transceiver SFP-1G-EX Fiber Optic 1G — SFP module for 1 Gigabit connections

The CBO Transceiver SFP-1G-EX Fiber Optic 1G is a BlueOptics SFP module engineered for 1 Gigabit fiber network links. This SFP-form-factor transceiver allows hot-plug installation into compatible switches and routers, providing a straightforward option for upgrading copper ports to fiber or extending existing fiber backbones. It supports standard 1G data rates and is intended for reliable long-distance or campus backbone connections where stable optical performance is required.

Advantages

This fiber optic SFP module offers compact SFP form factor compatibility, hot-swappable installation, and support for standard 1 Gigabit throughput. It is designed for optical links that require consistent data transmission over longer distances compared with copper cabling. The product delivers predictable optical performance for network backbone or aggregation layers while maintaining a simple, interchangeable module design for easy inventory management.

Suitable for

• Long-distance fiber links between buildings or data centers
• Campus network backbones and aggregation switches
• Upgrading switch/router ports from copper to single-mode fiber
• Redundant or diverse-path optical links for increased reliability

Key specifications

• Form factor: Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP)
• Data rate: 1 Gigabit per second (1 Gbps)
• Medium: Fiber optic connection (single-mode)
• Interface: LC connector compatible
• Optical class: Extended reach design suitable for long-distance links
• Hot-pluggable: Yes

How to use

Insert the SFP-1G-EX module into a compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or media converter while the device is powered on or off, observing proper electrostatic discharge precautions. Connect single-mode fiber patch cables with LC connectors to the transceiver ports, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation and secure connections. Configure the network device to recognize the fiber interface and adjust speed/duplex or link settings if required by your equipment. Monitor link status and optical indicators on the host device to confirm a stable connection.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber with appropriate LC patch cables and maintain proper connector cleanliness to preserve optical performance. Verify compatibility with the host device’s supported SFP modules and consult the switch/router documentation for any required configuration or compatibility notes before deployment.
