Fiber optic transceiver CBO E1MG-BXD-F1 1000Base-BX single-port Gigabit SFP

CBO E1MG-BXD-F1 1000Base-BX single-port Gigabit SFP is a compact fiber optic transceiver in SFP form factor that supports 1000Base-BX Gigabit Ethernet over single-fiber bi-directional links. Designed for installation in network switches, routers and media converters, the module provides hot-pluggable optical connectivity for point-to-point fiber runs where a single fiber pair is not available or where separate transmit and receive fibers are impractical. The transceiver is intended for use in enterprise and service-provider networks requiring reliable Gigabit links in a small footprint.

Advantages

The transceiver offers single-fiber bi-directional transmission that reduces fiber infrastructure requirements while maintaining Gigabit throughput. Its SFP form factor enables hot-swap installation without network downtime and compatibility with a wide range of SFP-enabled networking equipment. The module’s design focuses on predictable optical performance and straightforward deployment in fiber backbones, access links and metro segments.

Suitable for

• Point-to-point Gigabit Ethernet links over single-fiber bi-directional connections
• Upgrading switches or routers to fiber connectivity in constrained spaces
• Media converters and customer-premises equipment requiring SFP Gigabit optics
• Enterprise access, data center uplinks and service-provider metro links

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps (1000Base-BX)
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Transmission type: Single-fiber bi-directional (BX) optics
• Interface: LC connector
• Hot-pluggable: yes
• Typical reach: suitable for short to medium fiber spans depending on fiber type and link budget

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an appropriate SFP socket on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect an LC-terminated single-fiber cable that matches the transceiver wavelength plan for bi-directional operation; ensure the opposite end uses the complementary BX transceiver configured for the reverse transmit/receive wavelengths. Verify link status through device LEDs or network management interfaces and observe optical power and signal indicators if available. Remove the module by releasing any retention mechanism and pulling the transceiver straight out while the host device is powered according to the equipment manufacturer’s guidance.

Usage recommendations

Use matched pairs of BX transceivers with correct wavelength polarity, follow ESD precautions when handling the module, and ensure fiber cables and connectors are clean to maintain optimal signal quality. Check the host device documentation for supported optics and any required configuration for SFP modules.
