SFP28 transceiver CBO SFP28-25G-ESR-BR-BO 25 Gbps LC 300 m

CBO SFP28-25G-ESR-BR-BO is a 25 Gbps SFP28 optical transceiver with an LC duplex connector designed for short-range multimode fiber links up to 300 m. The module supports 25 Gigabit Ethernet signalling and is hot-pluggable for straightforward installation into compatible SFP28 ports. It is intended for high-speed connections in data center, enterprise and telecom environments where reliable short-reach fiber links between switches, servers and active equipment are required.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers a standardized 25 Gbps data rate with low power consumption and a compact SFP28 form factor suitable for dense port deployments. Its LC duplex interface and multimode fiber compatibility simplify cabling in existing short-range infrastructures. Hot-pluggable design enables on-the-fly replacement or upgrades without powering down systems, reducing maintenance time. The module is built to meet common optical and electrical specifications for interoperability with a wide range of network equipment.

Suitable for

• Short-reach switch-to-switch connections in data centers
• Server-to-switch uplinks requiring 25 Gbps capacity
• Top-of-rack and middle-of-row aggregation links over multimode fiber
• Environments needing hot-pluggable, high-density transceiver modules

Key specifications

• Nominal data rate: 25 Gbps
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Maximum reach: up to 300 m over multimode fiber (MMF)
• Form factor: SFP28 (hot-pluggable)
• Application: 25 Gigabit Ethernet and compatible optical links
• Optical interface: short-range multimode operation

How to use

Insert the SFP28 transceiver into a compatible SFP28 port on the switch or server until it clicks into place, then connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords following correct polarity. Ensure the host device is configured for the intended 25 Gbps link and verify link status through management interfaces or LED indicators. For hot-swap replacement, remove the module using the release latch and insert the new module while observing electrostatic discharge precautions.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber for reliable reach up to 300 m, maintain clean connectors and follow manufacturer guidelines for fiber bending radius. Confirm compatibility with the host equipment and firmware versions before deployment and monitor link parameters after installation to ensure optimal performance.
