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

SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-HU-BO is a single-mode fiber optic SFP transceiver from BlueOptics that supports a 1.25 Gbit/s data rate with an LC duplex connector and a maximum reach of up to 160 km. The module is intended for long-distance links in telecom and enterprise networks, providing a compact hot-pluggable interface for gigabit connectivity between switches, routers and media converters. It uses single-mode optics optimized for backbone, metro and district links where extended reach and stable performance are required.

Advantages

The transceiver offers stable 1.25 Gbit/s throughput with single-mode transmission over long distances, minimizing the need for intermediate repeaters. Its LC connector and SFP form factor support easy installation and compatibility with a wide range of network equipment that accepts SFP modules. The module’s design focuses on low power consumption and reliable optical performance, which contributes to lower operational costs for long-haul connections and simplified network planning.

Suitable for

• Long-distance trunk and backbone links between central offices or data centers
• Metro and inter-building connections across city districts
• Gigabit uplinks between switches, routers and media converters
• Telecom access and aggregation layers requiring single-mode optics

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1.25 Gbit/s
• Fiber type: single-mode
• Connector: LC duplex
• Maximum reach: up to 160 km
• Form factor: SFP (hot-pluggable)
• Transmission: long-haul single-mode optical link

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or media converter while the device is powered on or as directed by the equipment manufacturer. Connect single-mode fiber using LC duplex patch cords, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status via device LEDs or management interface and configure network settings such as speed and duplex according to the connected equipment. Ensure that the fiber link attenuation and connector cleanliness are within acceptable limits for reliable performance.

Recommendations

For optimal long-distance performance, use single-mode fiber cabling with appropriate attenuation budget for 160 km links, keep connectors clean and protected, and verify that end equipment supports the SFP module specifications. If intermediate amplification or dispersion compensation is required, plan those elements in advance to maintain signal quality over extended routes.
