SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-FR-BO 1,25 Gbit/s LC Singlemode 160 km

CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-FR-BO is a 1.25 Gbit/s SFP optical transceiver with LC connector for single-mode fiber and a maximum reach of up to 160 km. The module implements ZX-class wavelength transmission in a compact small-form pluggable (SFP) package, enabling hot-pluggable installation in switches, routers and media converters. It is intended for long-distance Ethernet and fiber links where single-mode connectivity and extended reach are required.

Advantages

The transceiver provides reliable long-distance data transmission at 1.25 Gbit/s while maintaining a compact SFP footprint for use in standard networking equipment. Its LC interface and single-mode optical design reduce insertion loss and support point-to-point connections across metropolitan or inter-site links. Hot-pluggable operation simplifies installation and maintenance without powering down host devices.

Suitable for

• Long-distance Ethernet links between buildings or data centers
• Metropolitan area networks (MAN) and inter-site fiber connections
• Integration with switches, routers and media converters that accept SFP modules
• Single-mode fiber backbone and point-to-point transport

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1.25 Gbit/s
• Fiber type: single-mode
• Connector: LC duplex
• Optical class: ZX wavelength transmission
• Maximum reach: up to 160 km (depending on fiber quality and link budget)
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable), hot-pluggable

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on the switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect single-mode LC fiber cables to the module’s LC duplex connector, observing transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status on the host device and ensure optical power levels and link budget meet system requirements. When removing the module, power down only if required by the host device’s procedures and use the extraction tab or bail to pull the transceiver out safely.

Recommendations

Confirm compatibility with the host equipment and validate fiber type, connector polarity and link budget before deployment. For maximum reach, use low-loss single-mode fiber and maintain clean connectors to prevent signal degradation. Monitor optical power and BER parameters during commissioning and schedule periodic inspections of fiber connections for dust or damage.
