Glasvezel-SFP-transceiver CBO SFP-1G-EX, 1 Gbit/s

CBO SFP-1G-EX is a fiber optic SFP transceiver that supports a 1 Gbps data rate and fits into any SFP-compatible slot. The module provides a hot-pluggable interface for establishing point-to-point fibre connections between switches, routers and media converters. It is intended for extending network segments over optical fiber where a compact, standard SFP form factor and straightforward plug-and-play installation are required.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers single-port fiber connectivity with a standardized SFP form factor, enabling easy replacement or upgrade of existing copper ports. Its hot-pluggable design allows installation without powering down the host device. The module supports stable 1 Gbps throughput and is suitable for short- to medium-reach optical links, offering low power consumption and passive cooling in a compact metal housing.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and routers over optical fiber
• Linking media converters to fiber infrastructure
• Extending LAN segments between buildings or floors
• Replacing or upgrading copper ports to fiber in data networks

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Data rate: 1 Gbps
• Interface: fiber optic (single or multimode depending on variant)
• Mounting: hot-pluggable into SFP-compatible slots
• Power consumption: low, suitable for passive cooling
• Operating environment: typical commercial temperature range for network equipment

How to use

Insert the module into an available SFP slot on compatible network equipment until it latches. Connect the appropriate fiber patch cable to the transceiver’s optical port, ensuring correct TX/RX orientation. Configure the host device port settings if required (speed, duplex or SFP type detection). Monitor link status via the equipment management interface or link LEDs; no additional drivers are usually needed for standard SFP ports.

Recommendations

Use certified fiber patch cords and clean connectors before installation to ensure optimal signal quality. Verify compatibility with the host device’s supported SFP types and follow manufacturer guidelines for maximum link distances and fiber types. Avoid mechanical stress on the module and fiber cable, and keep the transceiver’s dust cap when not in use.
