SFP transceiver BlueOptics SFP28-25G-LR-IA-BO 25000 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-LR-IA-BO is a single‑mode fiber SFP28 transceiver module designed for 25G optical links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 25,000 Mbit/s at a wavelength of 1310 nm, uses an LC duplex connector and is housed in a metal casing. The module operates from a 3.3 V supply and has a compact, lightweight form factor of approximately 2 g, making it suitable for space‑constrained network equipment.

Advantages

This transceiver provides high data throughput over single‑mode fiber and is built to MSA SFP28 form‑factor standards. The metal housing supports mechanical durability and thermal stability. The 25G data rate and 1310 nm wavelength combination enables long‑reach links typical for backbone, aggregation and data center interconnects. The small size and low weight facilitate installation in dense switch and router ports while maintaining compatibility with devices that accept SFP28 modules.

Suitable for

• 25G Ethernet and other 25G optical interfaces
• Single‑mode fiber links in data centers and campus backbones
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems
• Environments requiring compact SFP28 transceivers with LC duplex connections

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP28‑25G‑LR‑IA‑BO into a compatible SFP28 slot on a switch, router or other networking device while the host device is powered down or following the vendor’s hot‑swap procedure. Connect LC duplex single‑mode fiber patch cords to the transceiver’s transmit and receive ports, observing proper polarity. Ensure the host device supports 25G SFP28 modules and that any required firmware or driver settings allow the module to operate at 25G. Verify link status and, if available, read real‑time diagnostic parameters through the host’s management interface.

Recommendations

Use quality single‑mode LC duplex patch cords and ensure correct fiber polarity for optimal performance. Confirm that the host device supports SFP28 modules and DDM/DOM if remote monitoring of voltage, temperature and optical power is required. Follow manufacturer guidelines for handling optical transceivers to avoid contamination of fiber endfaces and to preserve module lifetime.
