SFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-NG-BO 25000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-NG-BO is a fiber optic SFP28 transceiver module engineered for 25 Gbit/s network links. Designed for use in data centers and high-performance campus or metro networks, this module supports long-reach optical connections up to 30,000 meters over single-mode fiber and uses an LC duplex connector. The module provides a compact, hot-pluggable interface for switches, routers and optical equipment requiring 25G SFP28 ports.

Advantages

This SFP28 transceiver combines a 25 Gbit/s transmission capacity with long-distance reach, enabling simplified network design for uplinks and inter-rack connections. Its LC fiber interface ensures broad compatibility with standard single-mode cabling while the small form-factor pluggable design allows easy installation and replacement without powering down equipment. The module is suitable for deployments where consistent optical performance and low-latency links are required.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks and spine-to-leaf connections
• Long-reach metro and campus network links
• High-performance server and storage interconnects
• Switches and routers with SFP28 ports

Key specifications

• Maximum data transfer rate: 25000 Mbit/s (25 Gbit/s)
• Maximum optical transfer distance: up to 30,000 m (single-mode fiber)
• Fiber connector type: LC duplex
• Form factor: SFP28 (small form-factor pluggable 28)
• Application: long-reach optical links for 25G networks

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP28 module into a compatible SFP28 slot on a switch, router or optical transceiver cage while the host device is powered on; the module is hot-pluggable. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cables to the module's LC connector, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the host port for 25G operation if required by network equipment, and verify link status and optical levels through the device management interface.

Recommendations

Use quality single-mode fiber and appropriate LC connectors for distances approaching the module's maximum range. Verify transceiver compatibility with the host device vendor and monitor optical power and link integrity after installation. Avoid exposing the transceiver to excessive dust or mechanical stress when handling and store unused modules in protective caps.
