Optický transceiver CBO SFP28-25G-SR-RW-BO 25 Gbit/s LC UPC 100 m

CBO SFP28-25G-SR-RW-BO is a fiber optic SFP28 transceiver module engineered for short-range 25 Gbit/s connections over multimode fiber. The module uses an LC UPC connector and supports transmission distances up to 100 m on appropriate multimode fiber types. It is intended for integration into switches, servers and storage equipment that accept SFP28 form-factor modules and require reliable, low-latency 25G links in data center and enterprise network environments.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a compact SFP28 form factor that enables high-density port configurations while delivering a full 25 Gbit/s data rate. Its LC UPC interface and multimode compatibility simplify deployment in existing fiber infrastructures. Low insertion loss and standardized electrical/optical interfaces ensure interoperability with compliant network equipment. Built for short-reach applications, the module minimizes power consumption and supports hot-plug installation to reduce downtime during upgrades or maintenance.

Suitable for

• Data center top-of-rack (ToR) uplinks and leaf-spine architectures
• Server-to-switch connections requiring 25G bandwidth
• Storage networking and SAN links within short multimode fiber runs
• High-density switch ports where space and power efficiency are important

How to use

Install the SFP28 transceiver into any compatible SFP28 slot on switches, servers or storage devices while the host equipment is powered on, making use of the hot-pluggable capability. Connect an LC duplex multimode patch cable to the module and the corresponding port on the remote device. Configure the host port for 25 Gbit/s operation if required by the equipment management interface. Monitor link status and diagnostics via the host system to verify optical power and link integrity.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use high-quality OM3/OM4 multimode fiber and properly rated LC duplex patch cords. Keep connectors clean and inspect endfaces before mating. Ensure transceiver compatibility with the host device firmware and follow data center cable management practices to avoid excessive bend radius and signal loss.
