Fiber optic SFP module CBO SMC1GSFP-LX-BO 1000 Mbit/s LC up to 10000 m

The BlueOptics CBO SMC1GSFP-LX-BO is a fiber optic SFP transceiver module that supports a 1000 Mbit/s (1 Gbps) data rate with an LC duplex connector and a single-mode reach of up to 10,000 m. Compact and hot-pluggable, this SFP module is designed for Gigabit Ethernet links and is suitable for use in switches, routers and media converters where a reliable long-distance uplink or network extension is required. The module follows standard SFP mechanical and electrical specifications for straightforward integration into compatible fiber equipment.

Advantages

The module offers a balanced combination of compact size, low power consumption and hot-swap capability, enabling maintenance or upgrades without interrupting device operation. With single-mode transmission and an LC connector it provides stable long-reach links up to 10 km, supporting backbone connections and point-to-point links. Compatibility with common Gigabit Ethernet equipment simplifies deployment across multi-vendor environments.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and routers over single-mode fiber
• Long-distance point-to-point connections within campus or metropolitan networks
• Media converters and small form-factor network devices requiring 1 Gbps fiber ports
• Network extensions where copper cabling is impractical or unavailable

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1000 Mbit/s (1 Gbps)
• Fiber type: single-mode
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Maximum reach: up to 10,000 m (10 km)
• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Hot-pluggable: yes
• Application: Gigabit Ethernet and compatible fiber-based links

How to use

Insert the SFP module into an empty SFP slot on the switch, router or media converter until it latches; the device should recognize the transceiver automatically if the equipment supports standard SFP modules. Connect single-mode LC duplex fiber patch cords to the module’s LC ports, observing proper transmit/receive alignment. After connection, verify link status and speed through the network device management interface and perform any required link configuration such as VLANs or port settings. To remove the module, power down the port if recommended by the device manufacturer or use the hot-swap capability to pull the module while the host device is running, following safe handling procedures for fiber optics.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber cabling with appropriate attenuation and connector cleanliness to achieve the advertised reach. Avoid sharp bends and protect fiber connectors from dust; inspect and clean LC endfaces before insertion. Confirm firmware or compatibility notes for host devices when integrating into mixed-vendor environments to ensure full feature support.
