SFP fiber transceiver CBO SFP-1G-EX — 1 Gbps multimode/long‑reach optical module

The SFP fiber transceiver CBO SFP-1G-EX is a hot‑swappable small form‑factor pluggable optical module that provides a 1 Gbps fiber interface for network equipment with SFP ports. Designed for multimode and long‑reach fiber links, this module delivers an optical uplink option for switches, routers and media converters, enabling straightforward integration into existing infrastructure without powering down devices. The transceiver supports standard SFP form factor dimensions and is intended for enterprise and service provider environments that require reliable fiber connectivity and predictable link performance.

Advantages

This SFP module offers plug‑and‑play installation with hot‑swap capability, allowing rapid deployment and replacement without service interruption. It supports 1 Gbps data rates and is compatible with a wide range of SFP‑enabled network devices, enabling flexible use across access, distribution and aggregation layers. The optical design provides stable signal transmission over multimode/long‑reach fiber while maintaining compact size and low power consumption, which simplifies rack planning and reduces operational overhead.

Suitable for

• Adding fiber uplinks to switches and routers in campus and branch networks
• Connecting media converters for fiber-to-copper transitions
• Extending network segments between buildings or across data center cabinets
• Service provider access links and last‑mile fiber connectivity

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP small form‑factor pluggable
• Data rate: 1 Gbps (full duplex)
• Fiber type: multimode / long‑reach compatible optical link
• Wavelength range: compatible with standardized gigabit optical wavelengths
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Power consumption: low power SFP class module
• Operating environment: designed for enterprise and ISP network environments

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect the LC duplex fiber patch cord to the transceiver, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. The module is hot‑swappable, so it can be installed or removed while the device remains powered on; allow the host device to detect and negotiate link settings automatically. Verify link status and speed through the device management interface and monitor for optical signal indicators or alarms as supported by the host equipment.

Recommendations

Use quality LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords and ensure proper end‑face cleanliness to maintain optimal optical performance. Verify compatibility with the host device’s SFP specifications and firmware recommendations before deployment. For longer distances or specialized fiber routes, confirm that cable type and link budget meet the required reach and attenuation parameters.
