Transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM Fiber Optic 1.25Gbps 1310nm 160 km

CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM Fiber Optic 1.25Gbps 1310nm 160 km is a single-mode SFP transceiver module designed for long-distance optical links. The module supports 1.25 Gbps (1G) data transmission over single-mode fiber and operates at a nominal wavelength of 1310 nm. It conforms to standard SFP form factor and provides hot-pluggable installation for deployment in switches, routers and media converters used in backbone, metro and point-to-point network segments.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers stable 1 Gbps optical connectivity over extended distances up to 160 km, enabling reliable long-haul links without intermediate amplification when used with appropriate fiber and link budgets. Its single-mode 1310 nm operation reduces dispersion over long spans, while the SFP form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of network equipment. Hot-pluggable design allows fast replacement or upgrades with minimal downtime.

Suitable for

• Long-distance point-to-point connections between data centers or central offices
• Backbone and metro network links requiring single-mode fiber
• Enterprise WAN links and telecom aggregation lines
• Upgrading or extending existing optical infrastructure to 1 Gbps

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1.25 Gbps (1G)
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Wavelength: 1310 nm
• Maximum reach: up to 160 km (depending on fiber and link budget)
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable), hot-pluggable
• Connector type: LC (dual)
• Temperature range: industry-standard operating range for telecom modules (verify device specifications before deployment)

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered or during maintenance windows as supported by the equipment. Connect single-mode fiber using LC connectors and ensure proper end-face cleanliness to minimise insertion loss. Configure the host interface for 1 Gbps optical operation if required and verify link status and signal levels through the equipment management interface or monitoring tools. Follow the host vendor’s instructions for enabling auto-negotiation or fixed speed settings.

Recommendations

To achieve reliable links at distances approaching 160 km, use low-attenuation single-mode fiber, verify end-to-end optical power budget, and consider dispersion and splice/connect losses. Clean connector end faces prior to mating, avoid tight bends in the fiber, and monitor link quality after installation. When mixing vendors, confirm compatibility with the host device and verify firmware settings if necessary.
