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

CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-MV-BO is an SFP optical transceiver module that supports a data rate of 1.25 Gbps and uses an LC connector for single-mode fiber. Engineered for long-distance Ethernet and telecom links, this module offers ZX-class wavelength performance and a reach of up to 160 km. The device fits the standard hot-pluggable SFP form factor, enabling straightforward integration into compatible switches, routers and media converters without the need for system downtime.

Advantages

The transceiver provides reliable single-mode optical transmission over very long distances up to 160 km while maintaining a stable 1.25 Gbps data rate. Its LC connector and standard SFP form factor ensure wide compatibility with network equipment from various vendors. Hot-pluggable design simplifies installation and replacement, and ZX wavelength characteristics make it suitable for links requiring enhanced receiver sensitivity and reach.

Suitable for

• Long-distance Ethernet backbone links
• Telecom and metro network interconnects
• Fiber-to-the-tower or remote site connectivity
• Switch-to-switch or router-to-router optical connections
• Media converters and optical aggregation equipment

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1.25 Gbps
• Fiber type: Single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Maximum reach: up to 160 km
• Wavelength class: ZX (long-reach)
• Form factor: Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP), hot-pluggable

How to use

Power off is not required for insertion or removal in most systems; handle the module by its housing and align the SFP module with the host port before gently inserting until it clicks into place. Connect LC-terminated single-mode fiber patch cords to the module’s LC receptacle, observing correct Tx/Rx orientation. Configure the host device for 1.25 Gbps operation as needed and verify link status through the switch or router management interface. Use appropriate ESD precautions during handling and avoid touching fiber endfaces to prevent contamination.

Recommendations

For reliable long-distance operation, use single-mode fiber with proper attenuation and dispersion characteristics, keep connectors clean with appropriate cleaning tools, and verify power budget and link loss calculations for the planned route. Store spare modules in anti-static packaging and avoid exposure to excessive dust, moisture or mechanical stress.
