SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-MA-BO 1.25 Gbps LC singlemode ZX 160 km

The SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-MA-BO is a compact optical module supporting a 1.25 Gbps data rate with an LC connector for singlemode fiber. Using ZX (long‑reach) optics, it supports point‑to‑point links up to 160 km and is intended for uplink and long‑distance connections in switches, routers and other optical network equipment. The module is hot‑swappable and designed for reliable performance in telecom and enterprise network environments.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver provides long‑reach connectivity with a singlemode LC interface and ZX optics for distances up to 160 km, enabling link extension without changing core equipment. Its small form factor and hot‑swappable design allow quick installation and replacement without powering down devices. The module is compatible with standard 1.25 Gbps SFP ports and is engineered for stable optical transmission suitable for point‑to‑point links.

Suitable for

• Long‑distance uplink connections between switches and routers
• Point‑to‑point fiber links in ISP, metro and campus networks
• Optical interfaces in telecom and enterprise equipment requiring singlemode ZX optics
• Network extension where low insertion footprint and hot‑swappability are required

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form‑factor pluggable)
• Data rate: 1.25 Gbps
• Optical type: ZX (long‑reach) singlemode optics
• Maximum link distance: up to 160 km on singlemode fiber
• Connector: LC duplex
• Wavelength: long‑reach transmission band (ZX)
• Hot‑swappable design for in‑service replacement

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or optical device, ensuring correct alignment with the slot guides. Connect LC‑terminated singlemode fiber jumper cables to the module’s duplex LC connector, observing Tx/Rx orientation. After physical insertion and fiber connection, confirm port status in the device management interface and verify link and signal levels using diagnostic tools or the host equipment’s monitoring functions. For safe handling, observe ESD precautions and follow the host device manufacturer’s installation guidelines.

Recommendations

Use clean, singlemode fiber and LC connectors to maintain signal quality; inspect and clean connector endfaces before mating. Verify device compatibility with 1.25 Gbps SFP ports and confirm supported optical distances under actual link conditions. Store unused transceivers in protective packaging to prevent contamination and mechanical damage.
