Fiber optic SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-EX compatible module, 1G single‑mode, long‑reach

BlueOptics CBO SFP-1G-EX compatible module is a fiber optic SFP transceiver designed for 1 Gbps single‑mode, long‑reach connections. The compact, hot‑swappable module fits standard SFP ports on switches, routers and media converters and enables extension of network links over single‑mode fiber for backbone, uplink or remote site connectivity. The module is compatible with a range of networking equipment that accepts third‑party SFP transceivers and is intended for installations requiring stable 1G fiber links over extended distances.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver provides reliable single‑mode transmission at 1 Gbps with long‑reach capability in a small form factor. Its hot‑swappable design allows insertion and removal without powering down equipment, reducing maintenance windows. Compatibility with standard SFP ports simplifies deployment across switches, routers and media converters. The module delivers predictable optical performance for point‑to‑point fiber links and backbone applications where single‑mode reach is required.

Suitable for

• Extending uplinks between switches and routers over single‑mode fiber
• Establishing long‑reach point‑to‑point links for backbone connectivity
• Connecting remote cabinets, buildings or data closets in campus networks
• Replacing or adding SFP ports in media converters and industrial switches

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps (gigabit Ethernet)
• Fiber type: single‑mode fiber (SMF)
• Form factor: SFP (small form‑factor pluggable)
• Reach: long‑reach single‑mode distances suitable for extended links (typical long‑reach optical class)
• Connector: LC duplex interface
• Hot‑swappable: yes

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Attach LC duplex single‑mode fiber patch cables to the module, ensuring correct TX/RX orientation. Verify link indicators on the host device to confirm an active connection and check device interface settings to ensure 1 Gbps operation. For removal, disengage the module latch and pull the module out while the host device remains powered if hot‑swap is supported.

Recommendations

Use appropriate single‑mode fiber cabling and maintain clean fiber connectors to achieve reliable long‑reach performance. Confirm compatibility with the host device’s SFP compatibility list and configure the interface speed and duplex as required. Avoid exposure to electrostatic discharge when handling the transceiver and store unused modules with protective dust caps installed.
