SFP 1G Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO SFP-1G-EX — single-port 1 Gbps, EX module

CBO SFP-1G-EX is a compact single-port SFP fiber optic transceiver that supports a 1 Gbps data rate in a hot-pluggable module. It is designed to provide optical uplink and device interface connectivity for switches, routers and media converters. The module is intended for short- to medium-distance fiber links where SFP 1G EX compatibility is required, offering a standard form factor for easy installation in compatible equipment.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers reliable 1 Gbps performance in a space-saving SFP package and supports hot-swap installation without powering down the host device. It is compatible with common network equipment that accepts SFP 1G EX modules, simplifying network upgrades and maintenance. The compact design reduces rack and port space requirements while maintaining stable optical connectivity for uplinks and device interfaces.

Suitable for

• Establishing fiber uplinks between switches and routers
• Connecting media converters to fiber infrastructure
• Replacing or expanding SFP 1G EX ports in enterprise and data center environments
• Short- to medium-distance fiber links within campus and building networks

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable), single-port
• Optical interface type: single-mode or multimode as required by EX profile (verify host compatibility)
• Connector: LC duplex (optical)
• Hot-pluggable: yes
• Typical application: fiber uplinks and device interfaces for switches, routers and media converters

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an empty SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it latches. Connect the appropriate LC fiber patch cable to the module’s optical port, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. After installation, verify link status and network configuration on the host device. For removal, unlock the latch mechanism and pull the module straight out while the host device is powered according to vendor guidance.

Recommendations

Ensure the transceiver type and optical profile match the host device’s supported SFP 1G EX specifications and the installed fiber type. Use clean LC connectors and follow standard fiber handling procedures to maintain link quality. Verify link distance and fiber type compatibility before deployment.
