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

The BlueOptics Fiber Optic SFP Transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX is a single-mode SFP module that supports 1 Gbps data rate and optical links up to 80 km. Intended for installation in SFP slots of switches, routers and optical transport equipment, the module offers a compact, hot‑swappable solution for extending networks and creating long-distance uplinks. The transceiver uses single-mode optics to maintain signal integrity over extended distances and is suitable for telecom and enterprise environments requiring stable fiber connectivity.

Advantages

The SFP-1G-ZX provides 1 Gbps throughput with a reach of up to 80 km on single‑mode fiber, enabling long-distance connections without additional inline equipment. Its compact SFP form factor allows easy insertion into standard SFP ports and supports hot swapping to minimize network downtime. The module is designed for compatibility with a wide range of network devices that accept standard SFP optics and offers consistent optical performance for backbone links and point-to-point connections.

Suitable for

• Long-distance uplinks between switches or routers
• Metro and inter-building fiber connections
• Telecom and carrier access links
• Enterprise backbone and data center interconnects

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps
• Fiber type: single‑mode
• Maximum reach: up to 80 km
• Form factor: SFP (small form‑factor pluggable)
• Optical interface: LC connector
• Compatibility: standard SFP slots in network switches, routers and optical equipment

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an available SFP slot on the network device until it clicks into place. Connect a single‑mode fiber cable with LC connectors to the transceiver’s optical port, observing correct transmitter and receiver alignment. Configure the network device port for 1 Gbps operation if required by the equipment. Verify link status and optical parameters via the device management interface to ensure the connection is established and operating within expected power and distance ranges.

Recommendations

Use certified single‑mode fiber (OS1/OS2) and LC connectors for best results. Keep optical connectors clean and protected when not in use to prevent signal loss. Match transceiver specifications with device port settings and monitor optical power levels when deploying links near the maximum distance to ensure reliable performance.
