SFP28 transceiver BlueOptics AFCT-725SMZ-BC 25000 Mbit/s 1310 nm zilver

The BlueOptics AFCT-725SMZ-BC is an SFP28 fiber optic transceiver module engineered for 25 Gbit/s point-to-point links. Operating at a 1310 nm wavelength, this compact silver module supports high-speed data transmission in modern network environments. Weighing approximately 20 g, it fits standard SFP28 ports and is intended for short- to medium-reach fiber connections where reliable 25 Gbit/s performance is required.

Advantages

The module combines a small form factor with a 25 Gbit/s maximum data rate and a 1310 nm operating wavelength, offering a balance of high throughput and compatibility with single-mode fiber systems. Its SFP28 interface provides hot-pluggable convenience and easy integration into existing network equipment. The lightweight design and standard connector footprint simplify deployment in dense rack and chassis environments.

Suitable for

• 25 Gbit/s Ethernet uplinks and server interconnects
• Data center spine and leaf fabrics
• High-performance single-mode fiber links over short to medium distances
• Network equipment requiring SFP28 form-factor transceivers

How to use

Install the transceiver into an available SFP28 port on compatible switches, routers, or host adapters until it clicks into place. Connect an appropriate single-mode fiber cable with matching 1310 nm characteristics and secure both ends in the corresponding ports. Configure the network device port settings according to vendor guidelines to enable 25 Gbit/s operation. Handle the module by its housing and avoid touching optical interfaces; use dust caps when the transceiver is not connected.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with the host equipment before installation, ensure fiber connectors are clean, and follow standard ESD precautions. For optimal link performance, use single-mode fiber rated for 1310 nm and verify link budget and distance limits in your network design.
