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

CBO SFP-1G-ZX is a 1 Gbps SFP transceiver module designed for single‑mode fiber links with a reach of up to 80 km. The module offers a hot‑pluggable LC interface in a compact SFP form factor, enabling straightforward installation into compatible network switches, routers and optical equipment. It supports long‑reach connectivity for LAN, metro and access networks while minimizing rack space and simplifying hardware upgrades and replacements.

Advantages

The BlueOptics SFP-1G-ZX provides stable 1 Gbps links over single‑mode fiber for distances up to 80 km, with a hot‑swappable design that reduces downtime during maintenance or upgrades. Its compact SFP footprint conserves space and is compatible with a wide range of devices that accept standard SFP transceivers. The module is suitable for long‑reach connections where reliable optical performance and simple field replacement are required.

Suitable for

• Long‑reach uplinks between network sites over single‑mode fiber
• Metro and access network connections requiring 1 Gbps bandwidth
• Interconnection of switches and routers in campus or enterprise networks
• Fiber extensions for service provider aggregation and distribution

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet/Optical)
• Fiber type: Single‑mode fiber
• Maximum link distance: up to 80 km
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Form factor: SFP (hot‑pluggable)
• Wavelength: long‑reach (ZX) optical band suitable for extended distances

How to use

Insert the SFP module into an SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or optical device while the host is powered on to take advantage of the hot‑pluggable design. Connect LC duplex single‑mode fiber patch cords ensuring correct transmit and receive orientation. Verify link status through the host device’s interface or LED indicators and configure network settings such as speed and duplex if required by the equipment. For optimal performance, use clean connectors and follow standard fiber handling practices to avoid contamination or damage to fiber endfaces.

Recommendations

Use the module with single‑mode fiber cabling and LC connectors rated for long‑reach applications. Inspect and clean fiber connectors before insertion, and keep spare dust caps on unused ports. Ensure the host device supports standard SFP transceivers and configure management settings as needed to monitor link status and optical diagnostics.
