Fiber optic SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-GM-BO 1.25 Gbps LC single‑mode ZX 160 km

CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-GM-BO is a fiber optic SFP transceiver module that supports a 1.25 Gbps (1250 Mbit/s) data rate and uses an LC connector for single-mode ZX transmission up to 160 km. The module is intended for long-reach optical links and provides a hot-swappable compact form factor for insertion into SFP slots on switches, routers and optical equipment. It is compatible with systems that require ZX wavelength optics and enables plug-and-play integration for WAN, metro and carrier infrastructure.

Advantages

The transceiver offers long-distance transmission capability up to 160 km over single-mode fiber, allowing network designers to extend links without intermediate regeneration. Its 1.25 Gbps data rate and LC connector ensure compatibility with standard gigabit single-mode ports. The compact SFP form factor supports hot swapping, minimizing downtime during installation or replacement. The module’s ZX wavelength design fits environments that require specific optical wavelength planning for carrier and metro networks.

Suitable for

• Long-reach WAN and inter-city links
• Metro and carrier optical networks
• Optical uplinks between switches and routers
• Equipment requiring ZX wavelength single-mode connectivity

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1.25 Gbps (1250 Mbit/s)
• Fiber type: Single-mode fiber
• Connector: LC duplex
• Transmission mode: ZX (long wavelength for extended reach)
• Maximum link distance: up to 160 km (dependent on fiber and link budget)
• Form factor: SFP hot-swappable module

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP port on your network device while the device is powered on or off, following the equipment manufacturer’s guidance. Connect single-mode LC fiber patch cables to the module’s transmit and receive ports, taking care to match TX to RX. Verify that the host device recognizes the module and configure port settings as required for a 1.25 Gbps link and ZX wavelength operation. Observe standard fiber handling precautions to avoid contamination of connectors and to maintain optical performance.

Recommendations

Use certified single-mode fiber with appropriate attenuation and dispersion characteristics for long-reach links, and perform optical power and link budget calculations when planning distances up to 160 km. Keep fiber connectors clean and secure, and consult the host equipment compatibility list before deployment to ensure proper operation.
