Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO MGB-LB20 1000Base-LX 1310nm

CBO MGB-LB20 1000Base-LX 1310nm is a single-mode fiber optic transceiver module compatible with gigabit Ethernet links. It converts electrical signals to optical signals and vice versa, enabling 1 Gbps data transmission over extended distances using 1310 nm wavelength. The compact SFP-sized form factor is intended for use in switches, routers and media converters to provide reliable fiber uplinks in access and distribution networks.

Advantages

The transceiver supports 1000Base-LX operation at 1310 nm, offering stable gigabit performance on single-mode fiber. Its small form factor simplifies installation in SFP slots and reduces space requirements in network equipment. The module is designed for interoperability with standard Ethernet devices and provides a cost-effective solution for extending copper networks via fiber links.

Suitable for

• Uplink connections between switches and routers over single-mode fiber
• Fiber connections in access, distribution and campus networks
• Integration into media converters to bridge copper and fiber segments
• Long-distance point-to-point links requiring 1 Gbps throughput

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP form factor for hot-pluggable installation
• Data rate: 1 Gbps (1000Base-LX)
• Wavelength: 1310 nm for single-mode fiber transmission
• Optical fiber type: Single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Typical reach: Designed for extended-distance links on single-mode fiber
• Connector type: Standard LC duplex optical connector

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect the single-mode LC duplex fiber patch cable to the module, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the network device to recognize the 1000Base-LX link and verify link status and speed through device management interfaces. Follow standard fiber handling procedures to avoid damage to the optical interfaces.

Recommendations

Handle the transceiver by its housing, keep dust caps on unused connectors, and avoid touching the optical endfaces. Use appropriate single-mode patch cords and verify polarity. Check device compatibility and firmware requirements before deployment to ensure reliable 1 Gbps operation over single-mode fiber.
