Fiber optic SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-EX (1 Gbps, single‑mode, extended reach)

The Fiber optic SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-EX (1 Gbps, single‑mode, extended reach) is a compact hot‑pluggable module designed to provide 1 Gbps Ethernet connectivity over single‑mode fiber for extended distances. It is compatible with standard SFP slots on switches, routers and media converters, enabling long-distance uplinks and point-to-point fiber links. The transceiver supports reliable long‑reach transmission for telecom, campus, industrial and enterprise network segments where single‑mode fiber is used.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver delivers a stable 1 Gbps data rate with low power consumption and hot‑swappable convenience, allowing network upgrades without powering down equipment. Its extended reach design supports long-distance links over single‑mode fiber, reducing the need for intermediate repeaters. The module’s compact SFP form factor ensures broad compatibility with networking hardware from a variety of vendors and simplifies integration into existing infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Long‑distance Ethernet uplinks between buildings or campus sites
• Telecom access and metro edge connections
• Industrial Ethernet links requiring extended fiber reach
• Fiber uplinks between switches and routers in enterprise networks
• Point‑to‑point single‑mode fiber installations

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Fiber type: single‑mode
• Reach: extended distance design for long‑reach links
• Form factor: SFP (small form‑factor pluggable), hot‑pluggable
• Interface: optical duplex connector (compatible with LC systems)
• Power consumption: low profile suitable for rack devices (typical values depend on host)
• Operating temperature: designed for standard telecom and industrial ambient ranges

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an empty SFP port on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect the single‑mode fiber cable with the appropriate LC duplex connector to the module’s optical interface, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the host device for the required link speed and duplex settings if manual configuration is needed, otherwise allow automatic negotiation. Monitor link status LEDs on the host device to verify successful operation.

Recommendations

When installing, ensure clean fiber connectors and use dust caps until connections are made. Verify fiber type and polarity before powering the link. For best performance over extended distances, use quality single‑mode fiber and adhere to the host equipment’s supported distance and wavelength specifications.
