SFP Fiber Transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX 1 Gbps single-mode, 80 km

CBO SFP-1G-ZX is a BlueOptics SFP fiber optic transceiver module that provides 1 Gbps full-duplex transmission over single-mode fiber with a reach of up to 80 km. The module is intended for installation in devices with SFP ports such as switches, routers and media converters and is suitable for long-haul links in telecom networks, ISP backhaul and campus connectivity. It implements a standard SFP form factor and optical interface for straightforward integration into existing fiber infrastructures.

Advantages

The transceiver supports single-mode operation and extended reach up to 80 km, enabling long-distance point-to-point connections without intermediate regeneration. Its SFP compact form factor allows hot-pluggable installation into standard SFP slots, minimizing downtime during replacement or upgrades. The module offers stable 1 Gbps throughput with low power consumption and compatibility with a wide range of network equipment that accepts SFP optical modules.

Suitable for

• Telecom backbone and metro links requiring long-reach fiber connectivity
• ISP aggregation and backhaul between central offices and remote sites
• Campus and enterprise point-to-point fiber connections over single-mode fiber
• Interconnection of switches and routers across data center floors or buildings

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps (full-duplex)
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Maximum reach: up to 80 km (depending on fiber and link budget)
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable), hot-pluggable
• Optical wavelength: long-wavelength (typical for ZX-class transceivers)
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Power consumption: low-power design suitable for slot-limited devices

How to use

Insert the CBO SFP-1G-ZX module into a compatible SFP port on a switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered on or off according to the host manual. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cables to the transceiver’s optical ports, observing correct transmit/receive alignment. Verify link status in the host device and configure interface settings (speed/duplex or auto-negotiation) as required. Monitor signal levels and link quality through the host device management interface.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber with appropriate link budget and low-loss connectors to achieve the specified 80 km reach. Ensure end equipment supports standard SFP optics and check optical power and sensitivity specifications in the host documentation when planning long-distance links. Avoid bending or stressing fiber near connectors and follow ESD precautions when handling the transceiver.
