SFP fiber module CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-QL-BO 1.25 Gbps 160 km LC single-mode

CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-QL-BO is a single-mode SFP fiber optic transceiver that supports a 1.25 Gbps data rate and uses an LC duplex connector. Engineered for long-reach optical links up to 160 km, this module provides a stable physical layer interface for network uplinks, metro connections and point-to-point links. The transceiver is compatible with equipment that accepts standard SFP form-factor modules and implements optical interfaces for single-mode fibers.

Advantages

The module offers long-distance optical transmission up to 160 km with a 1.25 Gbps line rate while maintaining the compact SFP form factor. Its LC connector and single-mode design minimize insertion loss and support interoperability with standard fiber cabling. The device is suitable for installation in switches, routers and other networking devices with SFP ports, delivering a plug-and-play optical interface without requiring changes to existing hardware.

Suitable for

• Long-distance network uplinks between data centers or buildings
• Metro and access networks requiring single-mode optical links
• Point-to-point fiber connections up to 160 km
• Replacing or upgrading SFP optics in switches and routers

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Data rate: 1.25 Gbps
• Fiber type: single-mode
• Maximum reach: up to 160 km
• Connector: LC duplex
• Wavelength: nominal long-range (ZX class)
• Tx/Rx interface: optical
• Operating environment: typical commercial temperature range suitable for rack-mounted network equipment

How to use

Insert the SFP module into an available SFP slot on a switch, router or optical equipment while the host device is powered according to the manufacturer's hot-swap guidance. Connect LC patch cords to the module's transmit and receive ports, observing correct polarity and using single-mode fiber for links up to 160 km. After physical installation, verify the link status on the host device, adjust any required port settings (speed, duplex, or administrative state) and monitor optical levels where supported.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode fiber cable and LC connectors, keep transceiver dust caps in place when not connected, and verify compatibility with the host device. For long-reach links, plan for proper fiber attenuation budget, use inline amplifiers or dispersion compensation only when specified by the network design, and perform optical power and BER testing after installation.
