SFP28 transceiver BlueOptics SM25G-LR-BO 25000 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SM25G-LR-BO SFP28 transceiver is a single-channel fiber optic module designed for 25 Gbit/s long-reach links over single-mode fiber. Operating at a 1310 nm wavelength, the module provides a balanced combination of data capacity and reach for backbone and distribution networks. The transceiver is housed in a metal casing that adds mechanical stability and thermal conduction while keeping a compact and lightweight form factor suitable for high-density switch and router ports.

Advantages

The module supports a 25 000 Mbit/s data rate in an industry-standard SFP28 form factor, enabling easy integration into existing equipment with SFP28 ports. The 1310 nm wavelength is appropriate for long-range single-mode fiber transmission. The metal housing improves durability and heat dissipation, and the low weight facilitates handling and installation without adding significant load to network devices.

Suitable for

• Long-reach single-mode fiber links in data center interconnects
• Distribution and aggregation layers in campus and carrier networks
• Upgrading 10 Gbit/s ports to 25 Gbit/s where SFP28 is supported
• High-density switch and router environments requiring compact transceivers

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SM25G-LR-BO into an SFP28-compatible port on a switch, router or host adapter following the equipment manufacturer’s hot-swap guidance. Connect single-mode fiber using the appropriate LC connector and ensure clean, properly seated fiber ends. Configure the device port for 25 Gbit/s operation if required by the network equipment, and verify link status and diagnostics through the host device management interface.

Recommendations

Use certified single-mode fiber and LC connectors, maintain clean fiber endfaces, and follow ESD precautions during handling. Verify compatibility with the target switch or router model and confirm supported link distance for 1310 nm optics to ensure reliable long-range operation.
