Fiber optic SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-EX 1 Gbps single‑mode module

CBO SFP-1G-EX is a fiber optic SFP transceiver module that supports 1 Gbps data rate over single‑mode fiber. Intended for installation in switches, routers and media converters, this compact hot‑pluggable module enables long‑reach Ethernet connections for network extension and backbone links. The form factor and electrical interface conform to industry SFP standards, allowing interoperability between compatible networking equipment.

Advantages

The module delivers 1 Gbps throughput with single‑mode optics suited to long‑distance links, offering a small, hot‑swappable form factor that simplifies equipment maintenance and upgrades. Its standard SFP footprint supports broad compatibility with network devices from multiple vendors, while low power consumption helps reduce operational costs in dense deployments.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet networks over single‑mode fiber
• Backbone and aggregation links between switches and routers
• Interconnecting media converters and optical line equipment
• Replacing or adding SFP ports in telecommunication racks and server rooms

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Fiber type: single‑mode (SMF)
• Interface: SFP (Small Form‑Factor Pluggable), hot‑pluggable
• Typical reach: designed for long‑reach single‑mode links (depends on fiber and link budget)
• Optical connector: LC duplex compatible
• Power consumption: low power design suitable for dense port configurations

How to use

Insert the CBO SFP-1G-EX module into an empty SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered on or off, following the host manufacturer’s hot‑swap guidelines. Connect single‑mode LC duplex fiber patch cables to the module’s optical ports, ensuring correct transmit/receive alignment. After installation, verify link status and configure the host device’s port settings for 1 Gbps operation and the required duplex or auto‑negotiation options.

Recommendations

Use single‑mode fiber and LC duplex patch cords that meet industry standards, check transceiver compatibility lists for the host device if available, and maintain clean optical connectors to ensure reliable performance. For long links, verify fiber attenuation and perform optical power and end‑to‑end testing to confirm link margin.
