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

The BlueOptics SFP transceiver CBO SFP-1G-ZX 1G 80 km is a small form-factor pluggable module that provides a 1 Gbps optical uplink over single-mode fiber with a maximum reach of 80 kilometers. Designed for insertion into compatible SFP sockets on switches, routers and media converters, this transceiver supports long-distance point-to-point links and backbone connections where stable, low-latency 1G fiber connectivity is required. The module follows standard SFP form factors and optical characteristics for interoperability with a wide range of networking equipment.

Advantages

This 1G ZX SFP transceiver offers long-reach connectivity up to 80 km, enabling economical extension of network links without additional active equipment. Its single-mode fiber operation minimizes signal loss over long distances and maintains consistent throughput at 1 Gbps. The module’s compact SFP format allows hot-plug installation and easy replacement in compatible networking devices, reducing downtime during upgrades or maintenance.

Suitable for

• Backbone and aggregation links between switches and data centers
• ISP and telecom long-distance connections
• Point-to-point fiber links across campus or metropolitan areas
• Media converters and uplink ports on enterprise switches

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps (gigabit Ethernet)
• Maximum reach: up to 80 km over single-mode fiber
• Fiber type: single-mode (SMF)
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Wavelength: long-reach (ZX-class optical band suitable for extended distances)
• Interface: LC duplex optical connector

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an empty SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it latches; connect LC duplex single-mode fiber cables between paired transceivers. Ensure both ends use matching transceiver types and compatible wavelengths to establish a link. Verify link status in the device management interface and monitor optical signal levels to confirm proper operation. For safety, avoid exposure to laser light and handle the optical connectors with dust caps until ready to connect.

Recommendations

For reliable long-distance operation, use high-quality single-mode fiber with appropriate connectors and maintain clean connector end-faces. Pair this SFP with compatible equipment that supports 1 Gbps SFP modules and matching ZX-class optics. Monitor optical power and error counters after installation to ensure stable throughput, and replace dust caps when the module is not in use to protect the optical interface.
