SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX 1G 80 km

CBO SFP-1G-ZX is an SFP transceiver module that supports 1 Gbps data rate over single-mode fiber and enables optical links up to 80 km. The module is intended for long-reach Ethernet and fiber‑optic networking between sites, providing a compact, hot‑pluggable interface for devices with SFP ports. It is suitable for deployment in metro, access and backbone links where stable long-distance optical connectivity is required.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a standard SFP form factor with compatibility for devices that accept SFP modules, allowing straightforward installation and replacement. Its single-mode design and 80 km reach reduce the need for intermediate repeaters or additional infrastructure on long links. The module supports a 1 Gbps data rate, enabling integration into Gigabit Ethernet networks and common fiber-optic network architectures. The compact, industry-standard design also facilitates stock management and reduces space requirements in equipment racks.

Suitable for

• Long-reach point-to-point Ethernet links over single-mode fiber
• Metro aggregation and access networks connecting remote sites
• Backbone connections between switches and routers across campus or multiple buildings
• Fiber uplinks in carrier and service provider environments

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Fiber type: Single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Maximum link distance: up to 80 km
• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable), hot-pluggable
• Wavelength: typical long‑reach optical wavelength for ZX class modules

How to use

Install the SFP transceiver into an empty SFP port on a switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered according to the manufacturer's guidelines for hot-pluggable modules. Connect the single-mode fiber cable with the appropriate LC connector to the transceiver port, ensuring proper polarity and cleanliness of the fiber endfaces. After physical installation, verify link status and configure the host device interfaces for the required speed and duplex settings if necessary. Monitor optical power and link stability through network management tools or the host device console.

Recommendations

Ensure fiber connectors are clean before mating and use dust caps when the module is not in use. Match the transceiver wavelength and single-mode fiber specifications across both link ends, and check optical power budget for the intended distance. Use compatible SFP-supporting equipment and review device compatibility notes to avoid link negotiation issues.
