Transceiver CBO SFP-1G-EX compatible Fiber Optic 1G SFP module

The BlueOptics Transceiver CBO SFP-1G-EX compatible Fiber Optic 1G SFP module is a third‑party small form‑factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver designed to deliver a single‑gigabit optical link. It fits into standard 1G SFP slots and provides optical connectivity for uplinks, switch‑to‑switch links, router interfaces and media converters. The module is intended for extending networks over fiber in data centers, enterprise and industrial environments where compatible, cost‑effective SFP modules are required.

Advantages

This compatible SFP module supports a 1 Gbps data rate and is compatible with standard SFP ports, allowing easy hot‑swap installation without powering down equipment. Its optical interface enables longer distance links than copper, reducing signal loss and electromagnetic interference. The compact SFP form factor saves space in densely populated switch and router chassis and offers interoperability with a wide range of networking devices that accept third‑party transceivers.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet links between switches or routers over fiber
• Connecting servers or media converters to fiber networks
• Data center aggregation and access layer uplinks
• Industrial networking where optical isolation and immunity to EMI are needed

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form‑Factor Pluggable)
• Data rate: 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Optical interface: single‑mode or multimode fiber compatibility as specified by the host device
• Wavelength: typical 850 nm / 1310 nm / 1550 nm depend on module variant and application (confirm compatibility with your fiber type)
• Connector: LC duplex (industry standard)
• Hot‑pluggable: yes
• Operating temperature range: consult device documentation for exact module class support

How to use

Install the transceiver into an empty SFP slot of a powered network device by aligning it with the slot and sliding it in until it clicks; do not force the module. Use an appropriate LC fiber patch cable to connect the transceiver to the remote fiber port, ensuring transmit and receive fibers are correctly oriented. After insertion, confirm link status on the host device. If the device does not recognize the transceiver, check compatibility settings and fiber type, and consult the network equipment logs for link negotiation details.

Recommendations

Verify the required fiber type (single‑mode or multimode) and the module wavelength against the intended link distance before deployment. Use quality LC patch cords and maintain clean fiber endfaces to ensure low insertion loss. When replacing or upgrading transceivers, power down only if recommended by your equipment vendor; most SFP modules support hot‑swap. For critical installations, test each link end‑to‑end and monitor link status and error counters to ensure stable operation.
