SFP transceiver BlueOptics SFP28-25G-SR-PC-BO 25 000 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-SR-PC-BO is a 25G SFP28 fiber optic transceiver module designed for short-range multimode links. It supports data rates up to 25,000 Mbit/s over an 850 nm wavelength and uses an LC duplex interface for simultaneous transmit and receive. The module is housed in metal for mechanical durability, operates at 3.3 V input, and weighs approximately 2 g, making it compact and easy to install in compatible SFP28 ports.

Advantages

This SFP28 transceiver provides high-bandwidth performance for short-reach applications with support for 25G Ethernet and related protocols over multimode fiber. The metal housing improves mechanical protection and heat dissipation while the standardized SFP28 form factor ensures broad compatibility with network equipment that accepts SFP28 modules. The module is lightweight and designed according to MSA guidelines to facilitate straightforward installation and replacement.

How to use

Verify that your switch, router or server supports SFP28 modules and the 25GBASE-SR standard before installation. Power down the target device if recommended by the hardware vendor, insert the BlueOptics SFP28 module into an empty SFP28 port until it seats firmly, and connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the transmit and receive ports. Ensure correct fiber polarity and use appropriate multimode patch cords and patch panels to achieve the specified range. After insertion, confirm link status and negotiate data rate according to your device management interface.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber to reach maximum distances and maintain low attenuation. Confirm that the host device supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) if you require real-time monitoring of optical power, temperature, and voltage. Keep connectors clean and inspect fiber endfaces before mating to avoid signal loss and minimize reflections.
