SFP Transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM 1.25Gbps 1310nm 160 km Single-Mode Fiber

CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM is a single-slot SFP transceiver designed for 1.25 Gbps Ethernet transmission over single-mode fiber. Operating at a 1310 nm wavelength with a maximum reach of up to 160 km, this compact, hot-swappable module is intended for long-distance uplinks and point-to-point fiber links. The transceiver fits standard SFP ports on switches, routers and media converters, enabling straightforward network extension without requiring system downtime.

Advantages

The module provides long-reach fiber connectivity with a small form factor and hot-pluggable operation, allowing quick replacement or upgrades. With single-mode 1310 nm optics and a 160 km reach, it supports extended backbone and metro links while minimizing equipment footprint. The device is compatible with standard SFP interfaces and supports 1.25 Gbps data rates for stable Ethernet performance over long distances.

Suitable for

• Long-distance uplinks between data centers and POPs
• Point-to-point metro and access fiber links
• Connecting switches, routers and media converters with SFP ports
• Network extension in campus and carrier environments

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1.25 Gbps (SFP)
• Optical wavelength: 1310 nm
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Maximum reach: up to 160 km (depending on fiber quality and link budget)
• Form factor: SFP, hot-swappable
• Connector: LC duplex
• Typical application: Ethernet optical link for long-reach connections

How to use

Insert the transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on the switch, router or media converter until it seats firmly and the retention latch engages. Connect an LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cable to the module, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the network device port as required for a 1.25 Gbps optical link and verify link status through the device management interface or LED indicators. When replacing the module, power-down is not required for hot-swappable operation unless the host device documentation specifies otherwise.

Recommendations

Ensure fiber connectors and patch cords are clean before connection to avoid signal loss. Verify link budget and fiber attenuation for distances approaching 160 km and use appropriate amplifiers or dispersion compensation if necessary. Consult the host device compatibility list for confirmed interoperability and follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions during handling and installation.
