SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-UQ-BO 1.25 Gbit/s 160 km LC single-mode

CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-UQ-BO is an SFP transceiver module for single-mode fiber links, supporting 1.25 Gbit/s data rate and an LC connector. The module is intended for long-distance optical connections up to 160 km and provides a compact, hot-swappable form factor compatible with standard SFP ports in switches, routers and media converters. It converts electrical signals to optical signals and vice versa to enable reliable Ethernet and fiber network transmission over extended distances.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a long reach of up to 160 km over single-mode fiber while maintaining a 1.25 Gbit/s data rate, making it suitable for metro and long-haul links. Its LC connector and standard SFP form factor ensure broad compatibility with networking equipment that accepts SFP modules. The hot-swappable design allows installation or replacement without powering down host devices. Built for optical signal stability, the module supports interoperable connections across compatible vendor devices.

Suitable for

• Long-distance Ethernet links between buildings or sites
• Metropolitan-area network (MAN) and campus backbone connections
• Fiber-based uplinks for switches, routers and media converters
• Optical links where a compact, hot-swappable SFP module is required

Key specifications

• Transmission speed: 1.25 Gbit/s
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber
• Maximum link length: up to 160 km (single-mode)
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Optical interface: 1.25 Gbit/s serial optical

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it locks in place. Connect single-mode LC fiber patch cables to the transmit and receive ports, ensuring correct end-to-end polarity. Confirm link status through the host device’s LEDs or management interface. The module is hot-swappable, so replacement or installation can be performed without powering down the host equipment, following the host vendor’s guidelines for safe handling and electrostatic discharge precautions.

Recommendations

Use quality single-mode fiber and LC patch cords with proper connectors and correct polarity. Verify optical power budget and link attenuation for distances approaching the 160 km limit, and consult device documentation for supported transceiver compatibility lists. Handle the optical ports and connectors carefully to avoid contamination and inspect/clean connectors before insertion.
