Optical SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-NA-BO 1.25 Gbps LC single-mode 160 km

The Optical SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-NA-BO is a single-port, hot-pluggable module designed for long-distance single-mode fiber links. It supports a 1.25 Gbps data rate over LC-terminated fiber and is engineered for ZX wavelength systems with an effective reach of up to 160 km. The transceiver fits standard SFP slots and is intended for use in Ethernet uplinks, WAN connections and fiber backbone links where extended range and reliable optical performance are required.

Advantages

This optical SFP transceiver delivers a consistent 1.25 Gbps throughput while maintaining long-range reach to 160 km, allowing network operators to bridge distant sites without additional regeneration. Its LC single-mode interface and ZX-compatible wavelength provide interoperability with common long-haul equipment. The hot-pluggable SFP form factor simplifies installation and replacement without shutting down host hardware, and the module is designed to meet typical telecom and enterprise deployment expectations for signal stability and physical compatibility.

Suitable for

• Long-distance Ethernet uplinks between data centers or sites
• Backbone fiber links in telecommunications networks
• ISP trunk and aggregation connections
• Enterprise campus links requiring extended reach

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1.25 Gbps
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Maximum reach: up to 160 km
• Wavelength family: ZX-compatible long-reach wavelength
• Form factor: SFP (hot-pluggable)

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible SFP port on switches, routers or media converters that support 1.25 Gbps optical modules. Connect LC-terminated single-mode fiber cables to the module, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status and optical parameters through the host device management interface. For initial deployment, confirm that remote equipment supports ZX-compatible wavelengths and that fiber attenuation and dispersion budgets are within allowable limits for 160 km links.

Recommendations

Use clean LC connectors and follow standard fiber handling practices to avoid contamination and insertion loss. For runs approaching the 160 km maximum, plan for realistic link budget checks and consider using optical amplification or regeneration if margins are tight. Ensure the host device firmware or operating system recognizes third-party SFP modules if compatibility settings are required.
