SFP Transceiver CBO SFP-1G-EX 1G Fiber Optic Module for Extended Reach

The CBO SFP-1G-EX 1G Fiber Optic Module for Extended Reach is a single-mode SFP transceiver designed to deliver 1 Gigabit Ethernet over longer optical distances. Intended for insertion into SFP-compatible switches, routers and media converters, this BlueOptics module supports hot-swappable installation and standard SFP form-factor interoperability to extend optical links in enterprise backbones, ISP interconnects and campus networks.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver provides reliable single-mode fiber transmission with a 1G data rate and extended reach performance. Its standard SFP form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of network devices that accept SFP modules, and hot-pluggable operation allows replacement or upgrade without powering down equipment. The module’s design focuses on stable optical performance and straightforward deployment in point-to-point links.

Suitable for

• Enterprise backbone fiber links
• ISP and carrier interconnects requiring longer optical reach
• Campus and multi-building connectivity
• Switch-to-switch or router-to-router uplinks over single-mode fiber
• Upgrading or expanding networks with SFP-capable equipment

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gigabit per second (1G)
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Form factor: SFP (hot-pluggable)
• Wavelength: typical long-range optical wavelength for extended reach (single-mode)
• Link distance: designed for extended reach single-mode links (long-distance optical connections)
• Connector type: LC-compatible optical interface

How to use

Install the SFP module into any compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or media converter by inserting until it clicks; secure the module according to the host device instructions. Connect a single-mode fiber cable with LC connectors to the module’s optical ports, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. The module supports hot-swappable insertion and removal, but follow the network equipment manufacturer’s guidance for handling and ESD precautions. After physical installation, verify link status and speed on the host device and configure network settings as required.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber with appropriate attenuation and distance planning for extended links, and verify compatibility with the host device’s SFP port. Follow ESD precautions during handling, avoid sharp bends in the fiber, and keep connector endfaces clean to maintain optical performance.
