Fiber Optic SFP Transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX 1 Gbps, single-mode, up to 80 km

CBO SFP-1G-ZX is a single-mode fiber optic SFP transceiver that supports a 1 Gbps data rate and optical reach up to 80 km. Intended for insertion into SFP-compatible network equipment, this module provides a long-distance optical uplink for backbone connections and telecom links. The compact SFP form factor enables hot-pluggable deployment in switches, routers and media converters requiring single-mode transmission over extended distances.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers stable 1 Gbps performance for single-mode fiber networks and supports long-reach links up to 80 km, reducing the need for intermediate repeaters or amplifiers. Its SFP form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of SFP slots and allows hot-swap maintenance without powering down connected devices. The module is engineered for consistent optical output and sensitivity to maintain link integrity in access, aggregation and metro networks.

Suitable for

• Long-distance uplinks between buildings and data centres
• Backbone connections in campus and metropolitan networks
• Telecom links requiring single-mode fiber over extended distances
• Upgrading switches and routers with SFP ports for optical connectivity

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet/optical)
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Maximum reach: up to 80 km (dependent on fiber quality and link budget)
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable), hot-pluggable
• Connector type: standard duplex fiber connector (LC)
• Application: uplink, backbone and telecom single-mode links

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an available SFP port on a compatible switch, router or optical interface until it seats and latches. Connect single-mode fiber cables using compatible duplex LC connectors, respecting transmit and receive orientation. Verify link LEDs and device interface statistics to confirm the optical connection and negotiate the 1 Gbps data rate. When replacing or installing modules, follow ESD-safe procedures and consult the host device documentation for any vendor-specific compatibility notes.

Recommendations

For reliable long-distance performance, use single-mode fiber with appropriate attenuation and ensure connectors are clean and properly matched. Check the link budget and account for splice and connector losses when planning an 80 km link. If negotiating compatibility with specific network equipment, refer to the device vendor’s supported transceiver list and firmware notes.
