SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-CS-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-CS-BO is a single‑mode fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for long‑distance 1 Gbit/s links. Supporting a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s, this compact module provides a lightweight solution (20 g) for network devices with SFP slots. With a high MTBF rating of approximately 3 million hours, the transceiver is intended for continuous use in core, distribution and access layer equipment where stable long‑reach connectivity is required.

Advantages

The module supports single‑mode long‑distance transmission with a design that fits standard SFP interfaces, enabling easy hot‑plug installation and compatibility with a wide range of switches and routers. Low weight and small form factor reduce mechanical load on equipment. The specified MTBF gives a clear indicator of long‑term reliability for network planners and installers.

Suitable for

• Long‑reach single‑mode fiber links up to hundreds of kilometers when paired with appropriate optics
• Enterprise and carrier networks requiring 1 Gbit/s uplinks or point‑to‑point connections
• Upgrading SFP‑compatible switches, routers and media converters for fiber connectivity

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form‑factor pluggable)
• Data rate: up to 1250 Mbit/s
• Optical type: single‑mode fiber (ZX class for long reach)
• Typical weight: 0.02 kg
• Reliability: mean time between failures (MTBF) ~3,000,000 hours

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter while the device is powered according to the manufacturer's guidelines for hot‑plug modules. Connect single‑mode fiber using the appropriate LC connectors or connector type recommended for the module, observing correct polarity and ensuring clean fiber end faces. Configure the network device port for 1 Gbit/s operation if auto‑negotiation is not available, and verify link status using device diagnostics or LEDs.

Recommendations

Handle the transceiver by its housing, avoid touching the optical interface, and keep protective caps on unused ports. Use single‑mode fiber and matching optics at the remote end to achieve the specified long‑distance performance. Follow ESD precautions during installation and consult equipment documentation for any compatibility or BIOS/firmware requirements.
