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

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-LR-LE-BO is a single-port fiber optic SFP28 transceiver module designed for 25 Gbit/s links over single-mode fiber. It transmits at a wavelength of 1310 nm, supports a 3.3 V supply and is housed in a compact, durable metal enclosure with a silver finish and a lightweight design of approximately 2 g. The module is suitable for data center uplinks, high-speed server connections and aggregation links where reliable 25 Gbit/s performance is required.

Advantages

This SFP28 transceiver provides a small form factor compatible with SFP cages while delivering 25 Gbit/s throughput. The metal casing offers mechanical protection and thermal stability, and the low weight and standard SFP interface simplify installation and replacement in compatible network switches, routers and server NICs. Operating at 1310 nm, it is intended for longer single-mode fiber distances compared with typical multimode optics.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks and spine-to-leaf connections
• High-speed server and storage network interfaces
• Aggregation links and campus backbone segments

• Interface: SFP (SFP28 form factor)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 25 000 Mbit/s
• Operating wavelength: 1310 nm
• Supply voltage: 3.3 V
• Housing material: metal
• Colour: silver
• Weight: approximately 0.002 kg

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP28-25G-LR-LE-BO module into a compatible SFP/SFP28 port on your network device while the port is powered down or according to the device vendor's hot-plug instructions. Connect the single-mode fiber cable (with appropriate LC connector) to the transceiver, ensuring correct polarity and clean connectors. Verify link status and speed in the host device management interface and apply any required configuration for 25 Gbit/s operation. Follow vendor guidelines for firmware and compatibility lists to ensure full functionality.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber rated for the required distance and keep optical connectors clean to avoid signal loss. Confirm compatibility with the target switch or NIC before deployment and refer to the equipment vendor's supported transceiver list. Handle the metal module by the edges and protect it with a dust cap when not in use.
