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

The BlueOptics CBO SFP-1G-ZX is a compact SFP transceiver designed for single-mode fiber links up to 80 km and for devices with SFP slots such as switches, routers and optical transport equipment. Supporting a 1 Gbps data rate and long-distance transmission, this module provides a standardized optical interface for backbone, metro aggregation and point-to-point fiber connections that require stable single‑mode performance.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers long-reach single-mode connectivity up to 80 km while maintaining a 1 Gbps data rate and compact SFP form factor compatible with standard host ports. The module is engineered for straightforward hot-swap installation and interoperability with common networking equipment, providing consistent optical output and reception characteristics for reliable link establishment and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Network backbone links between data centers and distribution nodes
• Metro aggregation and long-distance Ethernet connections
• Point-to-point fiber links for campus or enterprise networks
• Optical uplinks on switches and routers requiring single-mode reach

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Data rate: 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Maximum link distance: up to 80 km (dependent on fiber attenuation and system margin)
• Optical wavelength: long wavelength suitable for extended reach applications
• Connector type: standard fiber optical connector interface for SFP transceivers
• Operation: hot-pluggable module for in-service replacement

How to use

Insert the transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or optical device while the host port is powered; the module supports hot-swapping but follow the host vendor’s guidance for link bringing-up procedures. Connect a single-mode fiber cable with the appropriate connectors and ensure proper cleaning of fiber endfaces before mating. Verify link status and configure the host port for 1 Gbps operation if necessary; monitor optical levels and error statistics through the host device to confirm stable operation.

Recommendations

For best results, use single-mode fiber with appropriate attenuation characteristics and quality connectors, keep fiber endfaces clean, and consult your equipment compatibility list for confirmed interoperability. When deploying at the maximum distance, verify system optical budget and consider using dispersion-optimized fiber and proper margin planning to ensure sustained link performance.
