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

CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-PT-BO is an SFP optical transceiver module that supports a 1.25 Gbps data rate and uses an LC connector for single-mode fiber. Engineered for long-reach optical links, this module enables reliable point-to-point connectivity up to 160 km and is compatible with a wide range of switches, routers and media converters that accept SFP form-factor modules. The transceiver is intended for telecom and enterprise networks that require stable, low-latency fiber connections over extended distances.

Advantages

The module delivers long-distance transmission up to 160 km while maintaining a standard 1.25 Gbps data interface. Its single-mode LC interface minimizes insertion loss and supports interoperability with standard single-mode fiber infrastructure. The small form factor SFP design allows hot-pluggable installation and easy replacement without powering down network equipment, supporting flexible deployment and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Long-haul fiber links between sites and data centers
• Telecom backbone and metropolitan area network segments
• Enterprise campus interconnections requiring extended reach
• Media converters and network devices needing single-mode SFP modules

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1.25 Gbps
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Fiber type: single-mode
• Maximum link distance: up to 160 km
• Form factor: SFP (hot-pluggable)
• Wavelength: typical long-reach optical wavelength suitable for extended distances

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect single-mode fiber cables to the LC connector pair, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status using the device LEDs or management interface and configure interface settings in the host device as required for 1.25 Gbps operation. Handle the module with care, using protective dust caps when connectors are not mated and avoiding exposure to electrostatic discharge.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use single-mode fiber rated for long-distance transmission and verify that end-to-end optical budgets meet the module's reach requirements. Clean LC connectors before mating and follow equipment vendor guidance for SFP compatibility and firmware requirements.
