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

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-LR-MT-BO is a fiber optic SFP28 transceiver designed for 25 Gbit/s optical links using a 1310 nm wavelength. Housed in a metal casing and weighing approximately 2 g, the module operates at 3.3 V and provides an SFP28 interface with LC duplex connectivity for single-mode fiber. The transceiver supports long-reach optical transmission and is intended for integration into network equipment that accepts SFP28 modules.

Advantages

This SFP28 transceiver supports a maximum data transfer rate of 25 000 Mbit/s and uses a 1310 nm Tx/Rx pair for single-mode fiber links, offering compatibility with devices that implement the SFP28 form factor. The metal housing provides mechanical robustness and thermal conduction, while the low weight simplifies handling and installation. The module conforms to MSA-style SFP28 interface expectations and is suitable for high-speed Ethernet and related optical protocols where 25G links are required.

Suitable for

• 25G Ethernet uplinks and aggregation links
• High-speed connections between switches and routers over single-mode fiber
• Data center interconnects and server-to-switch links
• Optical network segments requiring 1310 nm single-mode transmission

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28-25G-LR-MT-BO into an SFP28-compatible port on your switch, router or other network device while the host hardware is powered down or according to the vendor's hot-plug guidance. Connect an LC duplex single-mode patch cable between transceivers at each end of the link, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify that the host device recognizes the module and that link settings (speed, duplex, and optical diagnostics support) are configured to accept a 25G SFP28 transceiver.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber rated for long-reach links and high-quality LC duplex patch cords to achieve the specified range and signal integrity. Confirm that the target hardware supports SFP28 modules and the required digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) functions if remote optical parameter monitoring is needed. Handle the module by its housing, protect fiber ends from contamination, and follow ESD precautions during insertion and removal.
