SFP Transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX 1G 80km for Single‑mode Fiber

SFP Transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX 1G 80km for Single‑mode Fiber is a compact optical module that provides 1 Gbps connectivity over single‑mode fiber for distances up to 80 km. The module fits standard SFP slots and is hot‑swappable, enabling quick installation and replacement without powering down equipment. It is intended for use in networking equipment such as switches, routers and media converters where long‑reach fiber links are required.

Advantages

The transceiver supports single‑mode fiber links up to 80 km at 1 Gbps, offering a balance of reach and bandwidth for metro, campus and enterprise backbones. Its SFP form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of networking devices that accept SFP modules. Hot‑swappable design reduces downtime during maintenance or upgrades, and the compact module minimizes rack space and simplifies inventory management. Designed for optical reliability, it helps maintain stable data transmission across long distances.

Suitable for

• Long‑distance fiber uplinks between buildings or data centers
• Metro and campus backbone connections
• Connecting switches and routers over single‑mode fiber
• Media converters and optical aggregation ports
• Upgrading legacy copper links to fiber for extended reach

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps (single channel)
• Fiber type: single‑mode fiber (SMF)
• Maximum link length: up to 80 km (dependent on fiber and link budget)
• Form factor: SFP (hot‑swappable)
• Wavelength: long‑reach (ZX class) optical wavelength
• Connector type: LC duplex

How to use

Insert the transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on the switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect LC duplex single‑mode fiber patch cords to the transceiver ports, ensuring correct TX/RX orientation. Verify the link status through the device management interface or LED indicators. When replacing the module, power‑down is generally not required due to the hot‑swappable design, but follow the host device manufacturer's maintenance procedures to avoid transient link interruptions.

Recommendations

Use single‑mode fiber with appropriate attenuation and an end‑to‑end link budget that supports 80 km. Keep connectors clean and use dust caps when the transceiver is not in use. Match the transceiver wavelength class and compatibility with the host device; check device documentation for supported SFP modules. For critical links, test the optical power levels and error rates after installation and consider redundant links for high availability.
