Fiber Optic SFP Transceiver CBO SFP-1G-LX-20KM — 1G, 20 km

CBO SFP-1G-LX-20KM is a compact fiber optic SFP transceiver that supports 1 Gbps data rate and a transmission reach of up to 20 km over single‑mode fiber. The module provides a hot‑pluggable interface compatible with common Gigabit Ethernet ports on switches, routers and media converters, enabling extended point‑to‑point links without requiring bulky optics or additional power supplies.

Advantages

The transceiver offers low power consumption, a small SFP form factor for easy installation and hot‑swap capability to minimize downtime. Designed for single‑mode links, it provides stable 1 Gbps performance over long distances and is compatible with standard LC connectors. Its compact design simplifies deployment in rackmount and distributed network environments.

Suitable for

• Extending Gigabit Ethernet connections between buildings or across a campus
• Connecting switches and routers in data center or wiring closet installations
• Upgrading copper links to fiber for improved distance and EMI immunity
• Use with media converters to integrate legacy equipment into fiber networks

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Transmission distance: up to 20 km over single‑mode fiber
• Fiber type: single‑mode
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Form factor: SFP (hot‑pluggable)
• Wavelength: typical long‑reach optical wavelength (LX)
• Power consumption: low, suitable for standard SFP ports

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP port on your switch, router or media converter until it latches, then connect the single‑mode fiber cable with LC connectors. Ensure both ends use matching transceiver types and that the link parameters (speed/duplex) are set to support 1 Gbps. After insertion the device should be recognized by the host equipment and the optical link established; verify link/activity LEDs and host interface status. To remove, press the latch and pull the module straight out while the host port is inactive or safely shut down if required by the equipment manual.

Recommendations

Handle the fiber connectors and transceiver with care to avoid contamination; clean connectors before mating and use dust caps when the module is not connected. Match single‑mode fiber types and maintain recommended bend radii for optimal signal performance. Check host compatibility lists if the network device enforces vendor checks for SFP modules.
