SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-LE-BO 1.25 Gbps single-mode LC for 160 km

CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-LE-BO is a 1.25 Gbps SFP optical transceiver module designed for long-distance single-mode fiber links up to 160 km. The module uses an LC connector and ZX-class wavelength to support extended reach transmissions between networking devices such as switches, routers and optical line equipment. It provides hot-pluggable connectivity for straightforward installation and replacement without powering down host systems.

Advantages

The transceiver offers predictable long-haul performance with a ZX wavelength class optimized for distances up to 160 km over single-mode fiber. Its compact SFP form factor ensures wide compatibility with equipment that supports small form-factor pluggable modules, while the hot-pluggable design reduces maintenance downtime. Built to industry interface standards, the module supports reliable 1.25 Gbps data throughput for many Ethernet and optical network applications.

Suitable for

• Long-distance fiber links between data centers and campus sites
• WAN and metro network connections requiring single-mode transmission
• Upgrading or extending fiber ports on switches and routers
• Optical network equipment and media converters with SFP slots

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1.25 Gbps
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Maximum reach: up to 160 km (over appropriate single-mode fiber)
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Wavelength class: ZX (long-reach)
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Hot-pluggable: yes

How to use

Insert the SFP module into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or optical device while the host device is powered on or off according to the equipment manual. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords to the module matching transmit and receive ports. Verify link status on the host device and configure interface parameters such as speed, duplex and any required optical settings. For reliable operation, use single-mode fiber and ensure end-to-end connectors and splices meet required loss budgets for the 160 km reach.

Recommendations

To achieve the specified reach, use low-loss single-mode fiber with proper attenuation characteristics and follow standard installation practices: clean connectors before mating, verify fiber continuity and loss with appropriate test equipment, and maintain adequate optical link budget. Check compatibility lists of your network equipment provider and update device firmware if necessary for best interoperability.
