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

The BlueOptics SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-LO-BO is a compact SFP optical transceiver designed for single-mode fiber links up to 160 km. It provides a 1.25 Gbps data rate over an LC connector and is compatible with standard SFP ports. The module targets long-haul Ethernet and telecommunications connections, offering hot-swap installation and low power consumption for flexible deployment in network equipment such as switches, routers and optical line terminals.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver delivers long-distance connectivity with a single-mode LC interface and a reach of up to 160 km while maintaining a 1.25 Gbps transmission rate. Its compact SFP form factor supports easy, tool-free hot swapping and broad compatibility with systems that accept standard SFP modules. The design emphasizes energy efficiency and reliable point-to-point optical performance for carrier and enterprise environments.

Suitable for

• Long-haul Ethernet links between buildings or sites
• Telecommunications point-to-point fiber connections
• WAN uplinks and metro network segments
• Replacement or upgrade of existing SFP interfaces in switches and routers

Key specifications

• Form factor: Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP)
• Data rate: 1.25 Gbps
• Fiber type: Single-mode fiber
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Maximum link length: 160 km
• Optical wavelength: long wavelength (ZX class)
• Power consumption: low (typical for SFP single-fiber transceivers)
• Hot-pluggable: yes

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on your network device while the device is powered on or following the equipment vendor’s guidance for hot-swap. Connect LC-terminated single-mode fiber cables to the transmit and receive ports, observing correct polarity. After physical installation, verify link status and configure interface settings (speed, duplex, and any optical diagnostics) through the device management interface as required.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber with appropriate attenuation planning for distances up to 160 km and verify that fiber end-face condition and connector cleanliness meet industry best practices. Ensure equipment supports long-wavelength (ZX) optics and confirm optical power budgets for the planned link to maintain reliable performance.
