SFP fiber transceiver CBO SFP-1G-EX for 1 Gbps single‑mode links

The SFP fiber transceiver CBO SFP-1G-EX is a compact single‑mode module designed for 1 Gbps Ethernet links. It fits SFP slots and is compatible with Arista-equivalent SFP ports, enabling extension of fiber connections between switches, routers and media converters. The module is intended for links that require small form-factor plug-in transceivers for data center uplinks, campus backbones and long-distance fiber runs.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP provides a compact, hot-pluggable solution for single‑mode 1 Gbps connections. It supports easy installation into compatible SFP ports and simplifies fiber link deployment without the need for bulky equipment. The module is suitable for extending network reach and interconnecting devices across existing single‑mode fiber infrastructure, making it practical for environments that demand reliable point-to-point fiber connectivity.

Suitable for

• 1 Gbps single‑mode fiber uplinks between switches and routers
• Data center uplink and aggregation links
• Campus backbone and inter-building connections
• Long-distance fiber runs using single‑mode cable
• Integration with media converters and SFP-enabled network devices

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Data rate: 1 Gbps Ethernet
• Fiber type: single‑mode
• Compatibility: Arista-equivalent SFP ports and SFP-enabled devices
• Application: point-to-point fiber links, uplinks and backbone connections

How to use

Install the transceiver into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter with the device powered on or off as supported by the host. Connect single‑mode fiber patch cables to the transceiver’s optical interface following correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status and configure the network interface on the host device as required for 1 Gbps operation. For optimal operation, follow the host device’s guidelines for SFP modules and check link diagnostics through the network equipment management interface.

Recommendations

Ensure the fiber connectors are clean before insertion and use appropriate single‑mode cable types matched to the transceiver. Confirm compatibility with the host device’s SFP port firmware and follow standard electrostatic discharge precautions when handling the module.
