SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-VA-BO 1.25 Gbit/s single-mode LC, up to 160 km

The SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-VA-BO is a single-mode optical module designed for long-reach fiber links. It supports a data rate of 1.25 Gbit/s (1250 Mbit/s) and uses an LC duplex interface with ZX-class wavelength performance to achieve distances up to 160 km. The module follows the compact SFP form factor and supports hot-pluggable installation for straightforward integration into switches, routers and DWDM equipment in fiber-based networks.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver provides long-distance single-mode connectivity with low insertion effort thanks to the hot-pluggable SFP design. Its LC duplex connector and ZX wavelength ensure compatibility with common long-haul gigabit Ethernet and SDH/SONET installations. The compact size reduces rack space requirements while enabling straightforward replacement or upgrade of existing fiber ports. The module is intended for stable point-to-point links where signal integrity and reach are primary concerns.

Suitable for

• Long-reach gigabit Ethernet links between network sites
• SDH/SONET connections in telecom and service provider networks
• Interfaces to DWDM systems and long-haul multiplexing equipment
• Fiber backbone segments requiring point-to-point single-mode links

Key specifications

• Form factor: Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP)
• Data rate: 1.25 Gbit/s (1250 Mbit/s)
• Fiber type: Single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Reach: up to 160 km
• Wavelength class: ZX (long-reach wavelength)
• Installation: Hot-pluggable

How to use

Insert the SFP module into a compatible SFP slot on the network device while the device is powered on or off, according to the device documentation. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber cables with correct polarity between transceivers on each end of the link. Verify link status and matching data rate settings on connected switches or routers. For connections over long distances, ensure appropriate intermediate amplification or DWDM configuration where required and confirm fiber attenuation and connector cleanliness before commissioning.

Recommendations

Use the transceiver in equipment that supports standard SFP modules and verify optical budget compatibility for links approaching the maximum distance. Keep connector endfaces clean and store spare modules in anti-static packaging. For mixed vendor environments, confirm compatibility with the host device and the remote transceiver before deployment.
