SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX 1 Gbps single-mode 80 km

The BlueOptics CBO SFP-1G-ZX is a 1 Gbps SFP transceiver module engineered for single-mode fiber links with an 80 km reach. It provides a compact, hot-pluggable interface for long-distance Gigabit Ethernet and storage networking. The module is intended for installation in network switches, routers and optical transmission devices that require single-mode long-reach connectivity, offering a standardized electrical and optical interface for reliable data transport.

Advantages

This single-mode SFP transceiver supports 1 Gbps data rates and an extended transmission distance of up to 80 km, enabling long‑haul connectivity without additional signal regeneration. The hot-pluggable design allows field replacement and upgrades without powering down the host device. Compliance with common SFP form-factor and optical wavelength guidelines ensures interoperability with a wide range of network equipment from different vendors. The small form factor conserves chassis space while delivering stable optical performance for Gigabit Ethernet and compatible protocols.

Suitable for

• Long-distance Gigabit Ethernet links between buildings or sites
• Fiber channel or storage networking across campus or metro spans
• Upgrading switches and routers to support single-mode long-reach connections
• Optical aggregation and backbone segments requiring 80 km reach

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Maximum reach: up to 80 km
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Optical wavelength: long‑wavelength (ZX class)
• Interface: hot-pluggable electrical/optical module
• Application protocols: Gigabit Ethernet and compatible fiber channel links

How to use

Install the SFP transceiver into an empty SFP port on the switch, router or optical device until it clicks into place. Connect an appropriate single-mode fiber patch cable with LC duplex connectors between modules or to an optical patch panel, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status and configure the host device port as required for 1 Gbps operation. For long-distance links, confirm end-to-end optical budget and perform power-level or link tests to ensure signal integrity over the full 80 km span.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber infrastructure with suitable attenuation and dispersion characteristics for long-reach links, and choose LC duplex connectors to match the module. When deploying in production networks, validate compatibility with the host device and verify optical power budget, connectors and splices to maintain reliable 80 km performance.
