Glasvezel-SFP-module CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-SS-BO 1,25 Gbit/s single-mode LC 160 km

The BlueOptics fiber optic SFP module SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-SS-BO is a single-mode SFP transceiver designed for long-distance Ethernet and telecom links. It supports a 1.25 Gbit/s (1250 Mbit/s) data rate and uses an LC duplex connector for duplex fiber connections. The module is hot-pluggable and intended for use in SFP-compatible switches, routers and media converters to extend network reach up to 160 km over single-mode fiber.

Advantages

This SFP module offers stable single-mode transmission for long-haul links with low power consumption and a compact SFP form factor. Hot-pluggable operation simplifies installation and replacement without powering down equipment. The LC duplex interface ensures compatibility with standard single-mode patch cords and passive optical components, while the specified 160 km reach supports metropolitan and inter-site links without intermediate repeaters.

Suitable for

• Long-distance Ethernet uplinks between data centers and campus sites
• Telecommunication access and backbone links over single-mode fiber
• Carrier and ISP customer connections requiring extended reach
• Replacement or upgrade of existing SFP ports in switches and routers

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1.25 Gbit/s (1250 Mbit/s)
• Fiber type: Single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Maximum reach: up to 160 km (dependent on fiber quality and link budget)
• Form factor: SFP (hot-pluggable)
• Application: Ethernet and telecom long-reach links

How to use

Install the SFP module into an empty SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place, then connect LC duplex single-mode patch cords to the module and the remote endpoint. Configure the network device port for the appropriate speed and duplex settings if required; most modern devices auto-negotiate with SFP optics. Verify link status through the host device management interface and monitor signal quality and error counters to ensure the link operates within expected parameters.

Recommendations

For reliable long-distance operation, use single-mode fiber with appropriate attenuation and an adequate link budget. Keep LC connectors clean and protected during installation, and avoid tight bends or stress on fiber cables. When replacing modules, verify compatibility with the host device and consult device documentation for any vendor-specific settings.
