SFP module CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-IX-BO 1.25 Gbps single-mode LC 160 km

CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-IX-BO is a single-port SFP optical transceiver that supports a 1.25 Gbps data rate for long-distance fiber links up to 160 km over single-mode fiber. The module uses an LC duplex connector and ZX-class wavelength to provide extended reach for uplinks between switches, routers and optical transport equipment. It is intended for use in devices with SFP slots and complies with common SFP form-factor dimensions and electrical interface standards for compatibility with a wide range of network hardware.

Advantages

The transceiver provides long-reach single-mode connectivity at gigabit speed, offering a compact hot-pluggable form factor that simplifies installation and maintenance. With an LC connector and ZX wavelength class it enables extended-distance links without additional inline equipment. The module’s standardized electrical and optical interfaces ensure interoperability with many enterprise and carrier-grade switches and routers.

Suitable for

• Long-distance backbone and metro links over single-mode fiber
• Data centre uplinks and inter-rack connections requiring extended reach
• Campus and multi-building network interconnects
• Telecom access and aggregation where 1 Gbps fiber ports are used

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1.25 Gbps
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Maximum reach: up to 160 km
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Wavelength class: ZX (long-reach)
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Optical interface: single-fiber transmit/receive over duplex LC

How to use

Install the SFP module into a compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or optical transceiver chassis while the host device is powered according to the equipment manufacturer’s instructions for hot-plug modules. Connect single-mode fiber patch cords with LC duplex connectors to the transmit and receive ports, observing correct polarity. Configure the host interface for 1 Gbps operation if required and verify link status through the device management interface. Handle the module by its housing, keep dust caps on unused ports and avoid touching the optical endfaces when installing.

Recommendations

Use clean single-mode fiber with appropriate launch power and receiver sensitivity margins, verify fiber path attenuation before deployment, and follow standard optical safety and ESD handling procedures. For reliable 160 km links consider appropriate amplification or dispersion management only when required by link loss or fiber characteristics, and confirm compatibility with the host equipment before installation.
