SFP optical transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-PA-BO 1.25 Gbps single-mode LC 160 km

CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-PA-BO is an SFP optical transceiver module for 1.25 Gbps Ethernet over single-mode fiber. It supports LC connector interface and is designed for long-distance links up to 160 km, making it suitable for network aggregation, metro and carrier connections. The module follows the industry-standard SFP form factor and supports hot-pluggable installation for minimal service interruption when deployed in switches, routers or media converters.

Advantages

The transceiver offers long-reach transmission up to 160 km over single-mode fiber with stable optical performance and low power consumption. Its SFP form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment that accepts small form-factor pluggable modules. Hot-pluggable capability simplifies upgrades and replacements without powering down the host device. The LC connector supports compact duplex fiber connections and reliable mating for demanding backbone and access deployments.

Suitable for

• Long-distance Ethernet links between network sites
• Metro and carrier network aggregation
• Backbone connectivity in campus or ISP networks
• Linking switches, routers and media converters over single-mode fiber

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1.25 Gbps
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Maximum reach: up to 160 km
• Connector: LC duplex
• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Wavelength: typical long-wavelength (suitable for extended reach)
• Hot-pluggable: yes

How to use

Insert the SFP optical transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place, taking care to observe correct orientation. Connect single-mode LC duplex fiber patch cords to the module, ensuring transmit and receive fibers are correctly crossed where required. After physical installation, verify link status and interface configuration on the host device; configure link speed and duplex if the device requires manual settings. Use standard housekeeping procedures for electrostatic discharge (ESD) and dust protection when handling the module.

Recommendations

Install and remove the transceiver with the host device powered according to the equipment manual if hot-swap is not supported by the system. Keep protective dust caps on the LC connector when not in use, and perform periodic optical power and link-quality checks for critical long-distance connections.
