Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO 1100-0133-BO — single-module media converter for optical links

CBO 1100-0133-BO is a fiber optic transceiver designed as a single-module media converter for optical links. It converts electrical Ethernet signals to optical signals and vice versa, enabling integration of copper-based devices into fiber infrastructures. The unit is intended to extend network reach, connect switches or devices over fiber and improve link reliability in industrial and commercial environments. The compact single-module design supports straightforward installation in media-converter chassis and simplifies deployment in point-to-point or multi-segment fiber links.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a reliable optical interface to replace or supplement copper cabling, reducing electromagnetic interference and enabling longer transmission distances. Its single-module form factor offers easy insertion into compatible housings and minimizes space requirements. The device supports stable signal conversion without altering network architecture, contributing to predictable behaviour in mixed copper–fiber setups. Compatibility with standard fiber networking equipment ensures flexible use across existing infrastructures.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet connections over fiber to increase link distance
• Connecting network switches, routers or industrial devices via optical cabling
• Replacing copper links in environments with high electromagnetic interference
• Integrating legacy copper-based equipment into fiber backbone networks

Key specifications

• Form factor: single-module fiber optic media converter/transceiver
• Signal conversion: electrical Ethernet to optical and optical to electrical
• Application: point-to-point fiber links and media-converter chassis integration
• Environment: suitable for industrial and commercial network deployments
• Primary benefit: extends transmission distance and improves link reliability

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible media-converter chassis or slot designed for single-module units. Connect the electrical Ethernet port on the host device to the copper interface of the chassis or converter, then attach the appropriate optical fiber cable to the transceiver's optical port following the correct connector type and fiber type for your link. Verify network settings and link status LEDs, then test connectivity and throughput. Follow standard safety procedures for fiber handling, including proper connector cleaning and avoiding sharp bends in the fiber cable.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, match the transceiver to the correct fiber type (single-mode or multi-mode), connector style and link budget of your network. Use certified fiber patch cords and keep optical connectors clean to prevent signal degradation. Place the unit in ventilated enclosures and avoid exposure to extreme temperatures outside manufacturer specifications. When integrating into industrial networks, verify grounding and surge protection on both copper and fiber sides where applicable.
