Fiber optic SFP module CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-EE-BO 1.25 Gbit/s LC 160 km

Compact fiber optic SFP transceiver designed for long-distance single-mode links. The CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-EE-BO supports a 1.25 Gbit/s data rate and uses an LC duplex connector. With a hot-pluggable small form-factor design, it is intended for integration into switches, routers and media converters to extend optical links up to 160 km.

Advantages

This SFP module provides a stable optical connection over extended distances while occupying minimal space in network equipment. The hot-pluggable design enables easy replacement or upgrades without powering down devices. Compatibility with common SFP slots and the LC interface simplifies installation in existing network infrastructures. Built for single-mode operation, the transceiver supports backbone and metro applications that require long reach and consistent performance.

Suitable for

• Long-distance point-to-point fiber links up to 160 km
• Backbone and metro network extensions
• Switches, routers and media converters with SFP ports
• Network environments requiring single-mode optical connections

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1.25 Gbit/s
• Optical mode: single-mode fiber
• Maximum reach: up to 160 km
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable), hot-pluggable
• Typical use: long-reach optical transmission for telecom and enterprise networks

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect single-mode fiber cables with LC duplex connectors to the module, ensuring correct transmit/receive alignment. After physical installation, verify link status and optical parameters via your device management interface. Replace or hot-swap modules as needed following standard electrostatic discharge precautions and vendor instructions.

Recommendations

Use certified single-mode fiber with appropriate attenuation characteristics for long-distance runs, monitor optical power levels to ensure reliable operation, and maintain clean LC connector endfaces to prevent signal loss. When deploying in critical links, verify compatibility with your host device and consider performing a loopback or optical power test after installation.
