SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-LX 1G 1310nm for single-mode fiber

The SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-LX 1G 1310nm for single-mode fiber is a hot-pluggable small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical module for 1 Gbps Ethernet links over single-mode fiber. Operating at a 1310 nm wavelength, this BlueOptics-compatible LX module is intended for uplink, backbone and long-reach connections between switches, routers and media converters. It offers a compact, field-replaceable solution for network ports that require 1G LX optics and supports standard SFP interfaces for straightforward installation.

Advantages

The transceiver provides long-distance single-mode fibre transmission at 1 Gbps with a stable 1310 nm light source, ensuring interoperability with devices that accept SFP LX optics. Its hot-pluggable design allows replacement or upgrades without powering down equipment. The module follows common SFP mechanical and electrical specifications, enabling broad compatibility across network hardware and simplifying inventory by supporting standard 1G Ethernet links.

Suitable for

• Uplink connections between switches and routers over single-mode fiber
• Fiber backbone links in campus and enterprise networks
• Media converters and optical network units requiring 1G LX optics
• Longer-distance point-to-point fiber connections where 1310 nm single-mode operation is required

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Wavelength: 1310 nm suitable for single-mode fiber
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable), hot-pluggable
• Transmission type: LX (long wavelength) for extended reach on single-mode fiber
• Typical applications: uplinks, backbones, media conversion

How to use

Insert the SFP module into a compatible SFP port on a switch, router or media converter until it is securely latched. Connect the single-mode fiber cable with the appropriate LC connector to the transceiver’s optical port, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. After insertion, the host device should detect the module and negotiate 1 Gbps Ethernet operation. For removal, unlock any retention mechanism and pull the module straight out to avoid damaging the port.

Recommendations

Verify device compatibility with LX SFP modules and check supported link distance for your single-mode fiber. Use clean LC connectors and follow proper ESD handling when inserting or removing the transceiver. For stable operation, ensure the host device has the correct port configuration and that fiber attenuation and connector quality meet link budget requirements.
