SFP fiber transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM for 1 Gbps single-mode link, 160 km range

CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM is a hot-pluggable SFP fiber optic transceiver module for 1 Gbps single-mode links with a transmission range of up to 160 km. The module uses a standard LC connector and complies with common SFP form-factor dimensions, enabling straightforward installation in SFP ports on switches, routers and optical transport equipment. It is designed for long-distance data transport in metro, carrier and enterprise backhaul environments and supports simple replacement or upgrade of existing SFP interfaces without changing the host hardware.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a compact, hot-swappable design that simplifies maintenance and upgrades. It provides long-reach single-mode connectivity with stable 1 Gbps performance over extended distances, reducing the need for intermediate regeneration. The standard LC interface ensures broad compatibility with patch cords and optical equipment, while the module’s form factor supports easy integration into diverse network devices.

Suitable for

• Long-haul fiber links between sites and data centers
• Metro and carrier aggregation links
• Enterprise WAN and backhaul connections
• Replacement or upgrade of existing SFP ports

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps
• Fiber type: Single-mode
• Maximum link distance: up to 160 km
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Form factor: SFP (hot-pluggable)
• Typical application: long-reach transport, metro and carrier networks

How to use

Install the transceiver by inserting it into a compatible SFP port on your network device while the host is powered on or powered off, following the device manufacturer's guidance for hot-pluggable modules. Attach a single-mode LC duplex patch cable to the module, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the connected equipment to operate at 1 Gbps and verify link status using the device management interface or LED indicators. For best results, ensure fiber end-face cleanliness and proper cable routing to avoid bends beyond specified bend radius.

Usošanas ieteikumi

Store and handle the transceiver in a clean, dry environment and keep protective caps on connectors when not in use. Verify compatibility with the host device and perform link tests after installation. For long-distance links, confirm fiber attenuation and plan for appropriate optical budgeting to maintain reliable performance over the full 160 km range.
