SFP Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO SFP-1G-EX 1 Gbps for Extended Reach

The BlueOptics CBO SFP-1G-EX 1 Gbps SFP fiber optic transceiver is a compact module designed for extended-reach single‑mode fiber links. It provides 1 Gbps connectivity in a standard SFP form factor, enabling reliable optical connections between switches, routers and media converters. The module supports hot‑plug installation and is intended for network extensions, CCTV over fiber and long-distance backbone links where stable optical performance and compatibility with common SFP ports are required.

Advantages

This SFP module offers extended-reach performance in a small SFP package compatible with standard network equipment. It delivers stable single‑mode optical transmission at gigabit speed with low power consumption and straightforward hot‑swap capability. The product is designed to integrate into existing fiber infrastructures without the need for special adapters, providing predictable optical levels and interoperability with common networking devices.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet connections between buildings or campus sites
• CCTV and surveillance video transport over fiber
• Long-distance backbone links between core and distribution switches
• Media converters and fiber-enabled access equipment

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Fiber type: Single‑mode fiber (SMF)
• Form factor: Standard SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Optical reach: Extended-reach class suitable for long-distance links
• Connector: LC duplex optical connector
• Interface: Hot-pluggable electrical SFP interface
• Power consumption: Low-power operation suitable for rack and edge equipment

How to use

Insert the module into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or media converter until it latches. Connect the single‑mode fiber with LC duplex connectors and ensure transmit and receive fibers are correctly oriented. After physical installation, verify link status and speed through the device management interface or status LEDs. The transceiver supports hot‑swap, so it can be inserted or removed while the host device is powered on, following standard handling precautions for electrostatic discharge.

Recommendations

Ensure fiber connectors are clean and inspect patch cords before insertion to maintain optical performance. Match fiber type and connector polarity, and verify wavelength and power budget for your planned link distance. Use compatible SFP ports and check device documentation for any vendor compatibility notes.
