SFP Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO SFP-1G-EX 1G single‑mode

The BlueOptics CBO SFP-1G-EX is a compact SFP fiber optic transceiver that delivers 1 Gbit/s data transmission over single‑mode fiber. Designed for installation in standard SFP slots of switches, routers and media converters, this module supports long‑reach fiber links for uplinks, backbone connections and point‑to‑point links. The unit is hot‑pluggable and intended for straightforward replacement or expansion of existing fiber infrastructure to achieve reliable gigabit connectivity.

Advantages

This single‑mode SFP transceiver offers a combination of long transmission reach and small form factor suitable for dense network deployments. It supports industry‑standard SFP interfaces allowing interoperability with a wide range of networking equipment. The hot‑swap capability simplifies installation and maintenance without powering down devices. Built for stable optical performance, the module reduces the need for additional media converters in fiber uplink scenarios.

Suitable for

• Gigabit uplinks between switches and routers over single‑mode fiber
• Long‑reach point‑to‑point fiber links within campus and enterprise networks
• Expansion or replacement of SFP fiber ports for redundancy or capacity upgrades
• Fiber backbone connections requiring 1 Gbit/s throughput

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Fiber type: single‑mode fiber
• Form factor: SFP (Small Form‑factor Pluggable)
• Optical interface: LC connector
• Hot‑pluggable: yes
• Typical use: uplinks, long‑reach and backbone links

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it seats firmly. Connect a single‑mode fiber patch cable with LC connectors to the module, observing transmit/receive orientation. Ensure the network device recognizes the module and configure the port for 1 Gbit/s operation if necessary. For replacement, power‑down is generally not required due to hot‑swap capability; follow the host device documentation for any platform‑specific procedures.

Recommendations

Use quality single‑mode fiber cables and keep LC connectors clean to maintain optimal signal integrity. Verify compatibility with the host equipment and check link parameters after installation. For extended distances, confirm link budget and, where applicable, use suitable fiber types and splice quality to meet required reach.
