Fiber optic SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-EX — 1 Gbps single‑mode, extended range

CBO SFP-1G-EX is a fiber optic SFP transceiver by BlueOptics that supports 1 Gbps full-duplex data transmission over single‑mode fiber. Designed for extended range links, this module is compatible with standard SFP slots and provides a compact solution for establishing long-reach optical connections between switches, routers and media converters in enterprise and industrial networks.

Advantages

The module delivers reliable gigabit connectivity with low power consumption and stable optical performance across extended distances. Its standard SFP form factor ensures broad compatibility with network equipment that accepts SFP transceivers. Constructed for single‑mode fiber, the transceiver supports long-reach link budgets suitable for backbone connections and dispersed site interlinks while maintaining signal integrity.

Suitable for

• Long-distance gigabit links between switches and routers
• Inter-site connections in enterprise and campus networks
• Integration with media converters and SFP-enabled industrial equipment
• Optical backbone segments and data center uplinks requiring extended reach

Key specifications

• Interface: Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP)
• Data rate: 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet/1G Fibre Channel compatible)
• Fiber type: Single‑mode fiber
• Range class: Extended range (long-reach single‑mode links)
• Wavelength: Typical single‑mode optical wavelength (suitable for long-distance transmission)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Duplex mode: Full-duplex optical transmission
• Power consumption: Low-power SFP class (typical for single‑module operation)

How to use

Insert the CBO SFP-1G-EX module into an SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect the single‑mode fiber using LC duplex connectors, ensuring correct transmit/receive alignment. After insertion, verify link status via the host device's interface and configure network parameters such as speed and duplex if required. Observe standard ESD precautions and handle the module by its housing to avoid contaminating the optical interfaces.

Recommendations

For reliable long-distance operation, use single‑mode fiber with appropriate attenuation and connector quality; keep optical ports capped when not in use and perform periodic inspection and cleaning of LC connectors. Match the transceiver's optical specifications to the fiber plant and check link budgets for margin. Use supported SFP firmware or compatibility lists from the host equipment vendor when available.
