Fiber optic SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-LH 1 Gbps long-haul module

The BlueOptics Fiber optic SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-LH is a single-port SFP module for 1 Gbps long-haul optical connections. Designed for use in switches, routers and media converters with standard SFP slots, this module supports single-mode fiber links to deliver extended reach between buildings or along network backbones. The transceiver provides a compact SFP form factor and is intended for reliable optical transmission on long-reach point-to-point links.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers 1 Gbps data rate in a standard small form-factor pluggable package compatible with common network equipment. It is optimized for long-haul single-mode fiber, enabling extended link distances without intermediate conversion. The module’s compact SFP design allows hot-pluggable installation and easy replacement or upgrade of optical ports on switches, routers and media converters. Its design focuses on consistent optical performance and stable data delivery for backbone and inter-building connections.

Suitable for

• Long-reach single-mode fiber links between network switches and routers
• Inter-building connectivity across campus or business sites
• Network backbone segments requiring 1 Gbps optical links
• Media converters and optical uplinks in rack-mounted equipment

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps (nominal)
• Optical type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Link reach: designed for long-haul/extended-reach single-mode connections
• Connector type: standard LC optical connector

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect a single-mode fiber cable with LC connectors to the transmit and receive ports, observing correct polarity. Ensure the host device is powered and configured for a 1 Gbps optical interface; the link should negotiate automatically if the equipment supports auto-negotiation. Use vendor or equipment diagnostics to verify optical power levels and link status after installation.

Recommendations

Handle the optical ports and fiber connectors carefully to avoid contamination; keep dust caps on unused ports and clean connectors before mating. Verify compatibility with the host device’s SFP slot and supported optical parameters. For long-haul links, plan for proper fiber attenuation and consider using optical amplifiers or additional cabling infrastructure only if required by link budget calculations.
