Optický SFP modul CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-LC-BO 1,25 Gbit/s, 160 km, LC

The BlueOptics fiber optic SFP module CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-LC-BO is a single‑mode SFP transceiver designed for long‑reach fiber links. It supports a data rate of 1.25 Gbit/s and a maximum link distance of up to 160 km using an LC connector. The module is hot‑swappable and intended for use with routers, switches and media converters in metro, carrier and enterprise networks that require reliable long‑distance Ethernet connectivity.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver provides a compact single‑fiber interface with low power consumption and stable optical performance over long distances. Its LC connector and standard SFP form factor ensure broad compatibility with network equipment from different vendors. Hot‑swappable installation enables easy replacement or upgrade without downtime, while the module’s optical reach supports metro and carrier scenarios where extended link spans are required.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Long‑reach Ethernet links between sites up to 160 km apart
• Metro and carrier transport networks
• Interconnection of switches and routers in WAN environments
• Fiber backbone links and point‑to‑point connections
• Integration with media converters for legacy equipment

Key specifications

• Optical mode: single‑mode fiber
• Data rate: 1.25 Gbit/s
• Maximum link distance: up to 160 km (depending on fiber and channel conditions)
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Form factor: SFP (hot‑swappable)
• Wavelength: typical ZX/long‑reach optical band
• Power consumption: low (typical for SFP class transceivers)

How to use

Install the module into an empty SFP slot on a compatible router, switch or media converter while the host device is powered on or off; the transceiver supports hot‑swap operation. Connect LC fiber patch cords to the module’s LC connectors, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status through the host device’s interface and monitor optical levels to ensure the signal margin is adequate for the intended distance and fiber type.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use single‑mode fiber of appropriate attenuation rating and ensure connectors and patch cords are clean. Check equipment compatibility and optical budget calculations for distances approaching the module’s maximum reach. Handle the transceiver by its housing and store unused modules with dust caps installed to protect the optical interfaces.
