SFP transceiver CBO SFP-BX1490-20-BO 1000 Mbit/s 1490 nm Single-Mode

CBO SFP-BX1490-20-BO is a single-mode SFP fiber optic transceiver that supports a 1000 Mbit/s data rate and operates at a 1490 nm wavelength. The module is designed for hot-pluggable installation in compatible switches, routers and media converters to provide reliable point-to-point fiber links and uplinks in telecom and enterprise networks. It implements a compact form factor suitable for standard SFP ports and is intended for use in environments where 1 Gbps Ethernet over single-mode fiber is required.

Advantages

The transceiver offers simple hot-pluggable installation and interoperability with standard SFP ports, enabling quick replacement or upgrade without powering down equipment. Its single-mode 1490 nm optical interface provides extended reach compared with multi-mode solutions, while the 1000 Mbit/s data rate supports gigabit Ethernet applications. The compact SFP form factor reduces space requirements in dense chassis and allows flexible network design for uplinks and point-to-point links.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and routers over single-mode fiber
• Point-to-point fiber connections in enterprise and campus networks
• Telecom access links and network edge connections
• Integration into media converters and SFP-capable devices for fiber migration

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Data rate: 1000 Mbit/s (1 Gbps)
• Wavelength: 1490 nm
• Fiber type: single-mode
• Connector type: LC duplex (standard for SFP single-mode transceivers)
• Hot-pluggable: yes

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 on, allowing the host to recognise the module automatically. Connect single-mode fiber cables with LC connectors to the transceiver ports, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation for point-to-point links. Verify link status and network configuration on the host device and adjust link settings as required for 1 Gbps operation.

Recommendations

Use quality single-mode fiber and properly cleaned LC connectors to maintain optical performance. Confirm device compatibility with vendor documentation for the host equipment and follow ESD precautions when handling the transceiver. For optimal performance, monitor link status and perform firmware or configuration updates on connected devices as needed.
