Modulo SFP CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-CH-BO 1,25 Gbit/s LC monomodale 160 km

CBO SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-CH-BO is an SFP optical transceiver module that supports a 1.25 Gbps data rate and uses an LC connector for single-mode fiber links. Engineered for long-distance connections, this small form-factor pluggable module enables optical transmission over distances up to 160 km and is compatible with standard SFP ports. The module is hot-pluggable, allowing installation or replacement without powering down the host device, and is suitable for carrier, metro and enterprise backbone environments that require reliable single-mode links.

Advantages

The module provides long-reach connectivity up to 160 km while maintaining a compact SFP form factor that conserves slot space in switches, routers and media converters. Its LC single-mode interface ensures low insertion loss and compatibility with common fiber cabling. Hot-pluggable operation simplifies maintenance and upgrades, and the transceiver is designed for interoperability with standard SFP ports to facilitate deployment across mixed-vendor networks.

Suitable for

• Long-distance single-mode links between network sites (up to 160 km)
• Backbone and aggregation links in metro and carrier networks
• Point-to-point fiber connections in enterprise WANs and data centers
• Service provider access and inter-city optical links

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Data rate: 1.25 Gbps
• Fiber type: Single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Maximum reach: up to 160 km
• Operation: Hot-pluggable
• Transmission mode: Optical, single-wavelength

How to use

Install the transceiver into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it seats securely. Connect LC single-mode fiber patch cords to the transmit and receive ports, observing correct polarity. Verify link status through the host device interface and monitor optical power and diagnostics if supported. For best results, ensure fiber connectors are clean and adaptors or patch panels maintain low insertion loss. Replace or hot-swap the module as needed without powering down equipment, following the host device manufacturer’s guidance.

Recommendations

Use clean, certified single-mode fiber with appropriate end-face inspection before connection. Match fiber type and link budget across the optical path to ensure reliable operation at the intended 160 km reach. When deploying in carrier or metropolitan networks, verify interoperability with the host equipment and consider using diagnostic tools to monitor signal levels and margin.
