SFP Transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX — Singlemode Fiber 1 Gbps, 80 km

The CBO SFP-1G-ZX — Singlemode Fiber 1 Gbps, 80 km is a compact SFP transceiver module from BlueOptics that provides 1 Gbps Ethernet connectivity over singlemode fiber for distances up to 80 km. Built for use in switches, routers and media converters, this hot-swappable module supports long-reach links such as WAN connections, metro networks and backbone extensions while fitting standard SFP ports for straightforward integration.

Advantages

This singlemode SFP transceiver offers stable 1 Gbps throughput with support for long-distance links up to 80 km, reducing the need for intermediate repeaters or amplifiers. Its SFP form factor enables hot-pluggable installation and easy replacement without powering down equipment. The module is designed for compatibility with common networking devices and for low-power operation suitable for dense rack deployments.

Suitable for

• Long-distance Ethernet links between buildings or sites
• WAN and metro network connections
• Backbone and aggregation links in enterprise and ISP networks
• Integration into switches, routers and media converters with SFP ports

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps
• Fiber type: singlemode
• Maximum reach: up to 80 km
• Form factor: SFP (hot-swappable)
• Interface: fiber optic duplex LC connector
• Typical power consumption: low-power design suitable for high-density installations

How to use

Insert the SFP module into an empty SFP port on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place, then connect singlemode fiber cables with LC connectors to the module. Ensure proper fiber polarity and verify link status via the host device LEDs or management interface. For removal, pull the SFP release tab and extract the module while the host device is powered as the module supports hot-swapping.

Recommendations

For reliable long-distance operation, use singlemode fiber of appropriate attenuation and quality, keep connectors clean and use dust caps when the module is not in use. Verify device compatibility with SFP transceivers in the network equipment vendor documentation and monitor link status after installation. Avoid bending fiber beyond recommended radii and maintain proper environmental conditions within the host device specifications.
