Fiber SFP module CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-MT-BO 1.25 Gbit/s LC single-mode 160 km

CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-MT-BO is a single-port fiber SFP transceiver supporting a 1.25 Gbit/s data rate with an LC connector for single-mode fiber. The module is designed for long-distance links with a transmission reach up to 160 km and fits standard SFP slots for hot-pluggable installation. It is intended to extend fiber connectivity in metro, carrier and backbone networks while maintaining compatibility with common network equipment that accepts SFP form-factor modules.

Advantages

The module offers a long optical reach up to 160 km over single-mode fiber, enabling point-to-point links without intermediate amplification in many deployments. Its standard SFP form factor and hot-pluggable design simplify installation and replacement without powering down devices. The LC duplex interface provides a compact connection compatible with common fiber patch panels and transceiver cages. The module supports a 1.25 Gbit/s data rate, suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and similar serial optical interfaces.

Suitable for

• Long-distance point-to-point fiber links
• Metro and carrier network segments
• Backbone and aggregation connections between sites
• Upgrading copper links to single-mode fiber

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1.25 Gbit/s
• Fiber type: single-mode
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Maximum transmission distance: up to 160 km
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Optical interface: 1.25 G serial optical

How to use

Insert the transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on network equipment while the device is powered according to the equipment manufacturer's guidance for hot-pluggable modules. Connect single-mode LC duplex fiber patch cables to the module, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the connected network ports for the appropriate optical interface and link speed (1.25 Gbit/s) in your switch, router or optical equipment management interface. Verify link status and diagnostics via the host device to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

Use certified single-mode fiber (SMF) and LC connectors in good condition to achieve the specified reach. For runs approaching the maximum distance, confirm link budget and consider dispersion, splice and connector losses. Match the module's optical wavelength and power characteristics with the remote transceiver and follow ESD precautions when handling the module. Refer to the host equipment documentation for SFP compatibility notes before installation.
