SFP Fiber Transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM 1.25Gbps Single-Mode 160 km

CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM is a single-mode SFP fiber transceiver that supports a 1.25 Gbps data rate and an optical reach of up to 160 km. The module is designed for long-distance fiber links and fits into standard SFP ports on switches, routers and media converters. It provides optical transmission for network environments that require extended reach while maintaining compatibility with common SFP interfaces and single-mode fiber infrastructure.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a compact SFP form factor for hot-pluggable installation, low power consumption suitable for dense equipment racks, and support for 1.25 Gbps gigabit links over single-mode fiber to 160 km. It delivers stable long-range optical connectivity compatible with standard SFP ports, enabling straightforward replacement or upgrade of existing modules without requiring hardware changes to the host device.

Suitable for

• Long-distance links between data centers or buildings
• ISP backbone and metropolitan aggregation links
• Campus backbone and telecom aggregation
• Fiber links for switches, routers and media converters requiring extended reach

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Data rate: 1.25 Gbps
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Maximum reach: up to 160 km
• Wavelength: typical long-range wavelength (ZX class)
• Optical interface: LC connector
• Transmission mode: full-duplex serial optical link
• Hot-pluggable: yes

How to use

Insert the SFP module into an available SFP port on a compatible network device until it seats firmly and the retention latch engages. Connect single-mode fiber with LC connectors to the module transmit and receive ports, observing correct polarity. After physical installation, verify link status on the host device and configure interface settings (speed, duplex and transceiver monitoring if supported) according to the network design. For safe handling, avoid touching the optical connector endfaces and replace dust caps when the module is not connected.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber with proper attenuation and dispersion characteristics for long-reach links and perform link testing after installation. Ensure the host device supports SFP optical modules and set appropriate interface parameters. Store unused modules in protective packaging to prevent contamination of optical surfaces.
