Fiber optic SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-AR-BO 1.25 Gbit/s LC 160 km

The Fiber optic SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-AR-BO is a single‑mode SFP module that delivers 1.25 Gbit/s data transmission over LC fiber connectors with a maximum reach of up to 160 km. Designed for long‑distance Ethernet and WAN links, this transceiver fits standard SFP ports and enables optical uplinks between switches, routers and media converters. Compatible with single‑fibre infrastructures, it is intended for deployments where stable, long‑reach connectivity and straightforward hot‑swap installation are required.

Advantages

This transceiver offers long-distance connectivity with low power consumption and stable data throughput at 1.25 Gbit/s. Its LC connector and single‑mode design allow for extended reach up to 160 km without intermediate signal regeneration. The module supports standard SFP form factor installation for easy integration into network equipment and straightforward maintenance through hot‑swappable operation. Its design supports carrier and enterprise network environments where predictable optical performance and compatibility with common networking hardware are necessary.

Suitable for

• Long‑distance Ethernet links between buildings or data centres
• WAN optical uplinks for routers and switches
• Metro and access network segments requiring single‑mode connections
• Interconnecting media converters and optical aggregation equipment

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1.25 Gbit/s (SFP, optical)
• Optical mode: Single‑mode fiber
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Maximum reach: up to 160 km (single‑mode)
• Form factor: SFP (hot‑swappable)
• Typical power consumption: low (suitable for rack and edge devices)

How to use

Insert the SFP module into an available SFP slot on the network device until it clicks into place, then connect single‑mode LC fiber patch cables between the transceiver and the remote device. Ensure correct TX/RX orientation and adhere to proper fiber handling—avoid sharp bends and protect connectors from contamination. Configure the network equipment for the desired link parameters and verify optical link status LED indicators or management interfaces to confirm successful synchronization and signal integrity.

Recommendations

For reliable long‑reach performance, use single‑mode fiber with appropriate attenuation budget and perform end‑to‑end optical power measurements during installation. Clean LC connectors before mating, verify connector polarity, and monitor link quality via device management to detect degradation. When deploying in carrier or critical enterprise environments, plan for spare modules and documented fiber routes to reduce downtime during maintenance.
