SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX 1G 80 km single‑mode fiber module

The BlueOptics SFP-1G-ZX is a 1G SFP transceiver module engineered for single‑mode fiber links up to 80 km. It conforms to the SFP form factor for hot‑swappable installation in compatible switches, routers and media converters, providing Gigabit Ethernet or fiber WAN connectivity over long distances. The module supports standard duplex LC fiber connections and is intended for use in network backbone extensions, data center interconnects and telecom uplinks where stable 1 Gbps optical links are required.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers long‑reach single‑mode transmission up to 80 km in a compact, industry‑standard SFP package that supports hot swapping for minimal downtime during maintenance. Its optical interface and protocol compatibility enable straightforward integration into existing fiber infrastructures. The module’s predictable link performance and passive cooling requirements simplify deployment in rack‑mounted equipment and point‑to‑point fiber runs.

Suitable for

• Long‑distance Gigabit Ethernet between buildings or campus sites
• Data center interconnects and server farm uplinks
• Telecom and ISP fiber uplink links
• Network backbone extensions and aggregation links

Key specifications

• Optical mode: single‑mode fiber
• Maximum link distance: up to 80 km (typical single‑mode fiber)
• Data rate: 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Form factor: SFP (hot‑swappable)
• Connector type: duplex LC
• Wavelength: typical long‑reach optical wavelength for ZX class transceivers
• Tx/Rx optical interface: optical fiber transmission suitable for point‑to‑point links

How to use

Insert the SFP-1G-ZX module into an empty SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect duplex LC single‑mode fiber patch cables to the TX and RX ports, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the network device interface as required for Gigabit Ethernet operation and verify link status via device LEDs or management interface. When replacing, power down the port if recommended by the equipment manufacturer, then remove the module by pressing the release latch and pulling straight out.

Recommendations

Use clean, single‑mode LC patch cables and appropriate optical power budget planning for distances approaching 80 km. Check compatibility with the host device’s SFP compatibility list and perform link tests after installation to confirm signal quality and expected throughput.
