SFP28-transceiver CBO SFP28-25G-SR 25 Gbit/s kortbereik (multimode)

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-SR is a 25Gbps SFP28 optical transceiver engineered for short-reach multimode fiber links. It enables 25 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for uplinks and switch-to-switch connections in data centers and enterprise networks. The module features a compact, hot-pluggable SFP28 form factor that simplifies installation and allows fast replacement without powering down equipment.

Advantages

This transceiver supports 25Gbps data rates over multimode fiber, offering reliable high-speed communication for dense network environments. Its short-reach design is optimized for connections within racks and between adjacent rows, reducing cabling complexity and latency. The hot-pluggable SFP28 package minimizes downtime during maintenance or upgrades and is compatible with standard LC multimode connectors for easy integration.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks and top-of-rack switch connections
• Switch-to-switch links within campus or enterprise networks
• High-density aggregation points requiring 25Gbps ports
• Short-distance multimode fiber runs (intra-rack and adjacent racks)

Key specifications

• Nominal data rate: 25 Gigabits per second
• Optical interface: Multimode fiber with LC connector
• Reach: Short-range multimode links (designed for intra-rack/adjacent-rack distances)
• Form factor: SFP28, hot-pluggable
• Application: 25 Gigabit Ethernet

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP28-25G-SR module into a compatible SFP28 port until it seats firmly. Connect LC-terminated multimode fiber patch cords to the transceiver, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Ensure connected network devices are configured for 25Gbps operation and verify link status through the device management interface. For hot-swap replacement, remove the module using the latch or ejector mechanism and insert the new transceiver while the system is powered, following vendor safety guidelines.

Recommendations

Use verified multimode fiber (OM3/OM4 as appropriate for distance) and high-quality LC patch cords to achieve expected performance. Maintain clean connector endfaces and follow standard fiber handling procedures to minimize signal loss. Confirm compatibility with host equipment and firmware requirements before deployment.
