Fiber optic SFP module CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-IB-BO 1250 Mbit/s LC, single-mode, 160 km

CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-IB-BO is a fiber optic SFP transceiver module that supports a data rate of 1250 Mbit/s and uses an LC connector for single-mode fiber. Engineered for single-mode links up to 160 km, this module enables long-distance Ethernet or telecom connections between switches, routers and optical equipment that accept standard SFP modules. The module provides a compact, hot-pluggable interface for adding optical uplinks to network devices and extending backbone connectivity over long spans.

Advantages

The module combines long reach capability with a standard SFP form factor, allowing easy installation into compatible ports without altering existing equipment. Its single-mode LC interface and 1250 Mbit/s transmission rate offer reliable optical performance for point-to-point links. The compact design supports hot swap deployment and reduces the need for separate media converters, simplifying network upgrades and extensions.

Suitable for

• Long-distance Ethernet uplinks between data centers and central offices
• Telecom links and metro network trunk connections
• Fiber extension for switches, routers and optical line equipment with SFP ports
• Redundant or backup optical paths requiring single-mode reach up to 160 km

Key specifications

• Interface: LC connector for single-mode fiber
• Data rate: 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbit/s)
• Reach: up to 160 km over single-mode fiber
• Form factor: SFP (hot-pluggable)
• Transmission type: optical single-mode, long wavelength (ZX-class)

How to use

Install the module into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or optical device while the host is powered on or off according to the equipment guidelines. Connect a single-mode LC patch cable between the module and the remote transceiver, ensuring correct polarity and proper fiber handling to avoid bending or contamination. Configure the device port as required by your network (speed, duplex and optical settings) and verify link status and error counters through the host management interface.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use single-mode fiber with appropriate attenuation characteristics, keep LC connector end faces clean, and verify that the remote transceiver matches the transmit/receive wavelength class and optical budget for 160 km links. Observe ESD precautions when handling the module and consult device documentation for compatibility lists and SFP slot power limits.
