SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-EX Fiber optic 1G single-port module

CBO SFP-1G-EX Fiber optic 1G single-port module is a compact, hot-pluggable SFP transceiver designed for 1 Gbps fiber links. Intended for use in network switches, routers and media converters, this BlueOptics module supports single-port fiber connectivity for short and extended reach applications. The module provides a standardized electrical and optical interface that simplifies installation, reduces downtime and enables reliable data transmission over optical links.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a small form factor with hot-swap capability, allowing replacement or addition without powering down equipment. It supports 1 Gbps line rate and is compatible with common SFP slots, facilitating integration into existing network hardware. The optical interface ensures stable signal integrity and low latency for uplink and interconnect applications. Built to industry interoperability standards, the module helps maintain predictable performance across multi-vendor environments.

Suitable for

• Uplink connections between switches and routers
• Fiber links in enterprise and data center access layers
• Media converters and optical network extenders
• Network equipment repairs and spare inventory

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable), single-port
• Optical medium: single-mode or multimode fiber (refer to specific transceiver variant for exact fiber type)
• Reach: supports short- and extended-reach fiber connections depending on wavelength and fiber type
• Interface: hot-pluggable LC or compatible optical connector (module designed for standard SFP slots)
• Usage environment: designed for installation in network switches, routers and media converters

How to use

Install the SFP transceiver into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered on or following the vendor's hot-swap guidelines. Connect the appropriate LC fiber patch cable to the module's optical interface, ensuring correct fiber type and connector polarity. Verify link status through the host device management interface and monitor for proper signal and data throughput. For removal, follow standard hot-unplug procedures recommended by the network device manufacturer.

Recommendations

Use fiber cable and patch panels that match the transceiver's fiber type and reach to ensure optimal performance. Handle the optical interface with protective caps when not in use, avoid bending the fiber beyond manufacturer-specified radii, and observe ESD precautions during installation or removal.
