Fiber Optic SFP Transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX 1G 80km

The BlueOptics Fiber Optic SFP Transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX 1G 80km is a single-mode small form-factor pluggable module designed for 1 Gbps links over long distances. It supports hot-pluggable insertion into SFP ports on switches, routers and media converters and is intended for optical uplinks where a reach of up to 80 km is required. The transceiver provides a single-channel optical interface for simplex fiber connections and is suitable for metropolitan and wide-area network segments where single-mode fiber is deployed.

Advantages

The module delivers stable 1 Gbps performance over long single-mode fiber runs up to 80 km and supports hot-swap operation to simplify maintenance and installation. Its compact SFP form factor enables compatibility with a wide range of network devices that accept SFP transceivers. The design minimizes power consumption and offers predictable optical characteristics for reliable link establishment and diagnostics.

Suitable for

• Long-distance uplinks between switches and routers
• Connections between data centers or server rooms within metro and regional networks
• Optical links for media converters and industrial network equipment
• WAN or MAN interconnects over single-mode fiber

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps (SFP 1G)
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber
• Maximum reach: up to 80 km (depending on fiber quality and link budget)
• Connector type: LC duplex (optical interface)
• Form factor: SFP (hot-pluggable)
• Operating wavelength: typical long-wavelength (ZX class) suitable for extended reach
• Power consumption: low-power SFP class (exact power draw depends on host device)

How to use

Install the transceiver by inserting it into an available SFP slot on compatible network equipment until it clicks into place. Connect an LC-terminated single-mode fiber patch cable to the module, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status on the host device and configure interface parameters such as speed and duplex if required. For removal, power down the interface if recommended by the equipment vendor, press the release tab and pull the module straight out to avoid damaging the slot.

Recommendations

Ensure fiber cleanliness by inspecting and, if necessary, cleaning LC connectors before mating. Match the transceiver’s reach and wavelength class to the installed fiber and link budget. Use compatible SFP-supporting equipment and check vendor compatibility notes for optimal operation. Store unused modules in protective packaging to prevent dust and physical damage.
