SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-EX compatible, fiber optic 1 Gbps, single‑mode, extended‑range

The BlueOptics-compatible SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-EX is a hot-pluggable module for 1 Gbps fiber optic links, designed for single-mode extended-range applications. It fits standard SFP ports on switches, routers and media converters to provide reliable long-distance connectivity for Ethernet and telecom networks. The compact SFP form factor simplifies installation and allows straightforward replacement or upgrade of existing SFP ports without changes to the host device.

Advantages

This single-mode extended-range SFP transceiver supports 1 Gbps data rates and a hot-pluggable design for fast installation and maintenance. The module is compatible with standard SFP ports and enables long-distance fiber connections with stable optical performance. Its compact form factor and standard interface make it suitable for retrofitting or expanding network infrastructure while minimizing downtime.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections over single-mode fiber for campus and metropolitan links
• Telecom and carrier access networks requiring extended reach
• Replacing or upgrading SFP ports on switches, routers and media converters
• Point-to-point fiber links between buildings or equipment rooms

Key specifications

• Transmission rate: 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Optical mode: single-mode fiber
• Range: extended reach for long-distance links
• Form factor: SFP (hot-pluggable)
• Interface: LC connector
• Application: Ethernet and telecom networks
• Power consumption: low-power SFP class

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect a single-mode fiber cable with LC connectors to the transceiver, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the host device for a 1 Gbps link if required by the operating system or network equipment. Use standard network diagnostics to verify link status and optical levels after installation.

Recommendations

For reliable long-distance performance, use single-mode fiber with appropriate attenuation and ensure clean, undamaged LC connectors. Verify optical power budget and link budget for the intended span. When replacing modules, power down the host only if required by the device vendor; otherwise use hot-plug procedures. Keep spare transceivers on hand for critical links to reduce downtime.
