Fiber Optic SFP Transceiver CBO SFP-1G-LX 1G 1310nm

CBO SFP-1G-LX is a fiber optic SFP transceiver module that supports a 1 Gbps data rate over single-mode fiber using a 1310 nm wavelength. The module is designed as a compact, hot-pluggable interface for network switches, routers and media converters, enabling long-distance fiber links and uplink connections. It is intended to replace failed modules or add fiber connectivity where copper is impractical, offering a standardized SFP form factor for easy integration into existing networking equipment.

Advantages

The transceiver provides reliable single-mode performance at 1310 nm and supports gigabit Ethernet speeds for point-to-point and uplink links. Its hot-pluggable SFP form factor simplifies maintenance and upgrades without powering down devices. The compact design reduces space requirements in dense chassis installations while maintaining compatibility with common SFP slots. This module is suitable for long-distance links where single-mode fiber is required, providing stable throughput and predictable optical characteristics.

Suitable for

• Uplink connections between switches and routers over single-mode fiber
• Long-distance point-to-point fiber links in campus and metropolitan networks
• Replacing failed or incompatible SFP modules in existing equipment
• Integrating fiber connectivity into switches, routers and media converters

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps (gigabit Ethernet)
• Wavelength: 1310 nm
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Form factor: SFP (hot-pluggable)
• Typical application: long-distance uplinks and point-to-point links
• Connector type: standard SFP optical interface (LC-compatible)

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered according to the device vendor's guidelines. Connect single-mode fiber patch cables with LC-style connectors to the transceiver's optical interface, ensuring correct transmit and receive alignment. Configure the host port for 1 Gbps operation if needed; many devices negotiate speed automatically. Monitor link status through the host device's management interface and observe optical power and diagnostics where supported.

Recommendations

Use clean single-mode fiber and inspect connectors before mating to avoid signal loss. Follow the host equipment manufacturer's compatibility list and firmware recommendations when installing third-party SFP modules. For long-distance links, verify fiber attenuation and budget calculations to ensure sufficient margin for reliable operation.
