SFP Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO SFP-1G-EX 1G

CBO SFP-1G-EX 1G is a single‑module SFP fiber optic transceiver from BlueOptics designed for insertion into standard SFP slots of switches, routers and media converters. The module supports 1 Gbps data rates and is intended for optical uplinks and long‑distance fiber connections where a compact, hot‑pluggable fiber interface is required. It enables conversion of copper interfaces to single‑mode fiber links and is suitable for upgrading or replacing existing SFP ports to extend network reach.

Advantages

The transceiver provides stable 1 Gbps throughput with low power consumption and a compact SFP form factor that supports hot‑swap installation without powering down equipment. It is designed for single‑mode fiber links to deliver longer reach than typical multimode modules. The module follows common SFP interface standards to ensure broad compatibility with network devices that accept standard SFP transceivers.

Suitable for

• Creating optical uplinks between switches and routers
• Long‑distance single‑mode fiber connections and campus backbone links
• Replacing or upgrading SFP ports to add fiber connectivity
• Integration into media converters or fiber patch panels supporting SFP

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps (gigabit Ethernet)
• Form factor: SFP (small form‑factor pluggable)
• Optical type: single‑mode fiber (SMF)
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Operation: hot‑pluggable module for standard SFP slots
• Typical use: optical uplinks and long‑reach fiber links

How to use

Insert the CBO SFP-1G-EX 1G module into an available standard SFP slot on the network device until it clicks into place, then connect LC duplex fiber patch cables to the module and the remote endpoint. Ensure the fibers are correctly aligned for transmit and receive. The device should recognize the module and negotiate a 1 Gbps link if the connected equipment and fiber link parameters match. If required, configure the switch or router interface settings through the device management interface to enable the optical port.

Recommendations

Use single‑mode fiber with appropriate attenuation and proper LC connectors. Verify link budget and distance limitations for the module and select compatible transceiver types on both ends. Keep the optical interfaces capped when not connected and handle the module by the housing to avoid contaminating the fiber connectors.
