Fiber optic transceiver CBO SFP-1G-EX 1G SFP module for single-mode long-distance links

The BlueOptics Fiber optic transceiver CBO SFP-1G-EX is a 1 Gbit/s SFP module designed for single-mode long-distance links. Built for compatibility with standard SFP ports, this compact transceiver provides a gigabit uplink or backbone interface suitable for switches and routers in enterprise, data center, campus, and ISP environments. The module supports single-mode fiber to carry traffic over extended distances while maintaining a small form factor for easy installation in SFP cages.

Advantages

This 1G SFP transceiver offers predictable performance for long-reach single-mode connections while maintaining compatibility with industry-standard SFP sockets. Its compact SFP form factor saves port space in networking equipment and simplifies upgrades to fiber-based uplinks. The module is intended to deliver stable data throughput suitable for backbone and uplink roles, reducing the need for additional hardware changes when converting copper uplinks to fiber.

Suitable for

• Enterprise switches and routers requiring single-mode fiber uplinks
• Data center aggregation and server connectivity over long distances
• Campus network backbone links between buildings
• Internet service provider (ISP) access and backbone segments

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbit/s
• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Fiber type: single-mode
• Link type: long-distance (single-mode long-reach)
• Interface: LC optical connector
• Typical application: uplink, backbone, aggregation

How to use

Install the transceiver by inserting the SFP module into a compatible SFP port on the switch or router until it clicks into place. Connect single-mode fiber patch cords with LC connectors to the module, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Ensure the network device recognizes the module and configure the interface for 1 Gbit/s operation if necessary. Verify link status and perform basic tests such as ping or throughput measurements to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

Handle the transceiver with care to avoid contamination of optical interfaces; keep protective dust caps on until connection and clean fiber connectors before mating. Use single-mode fiber with appropriate attenuation and testing for long-distance runs. Confirm compatibility with the host device and firmware, and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for ESD protection during installation.
