SFP28 transceiver BlueOptics SFP28-850-SR-BO 25000 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics SFP28-850-SR-BO is an SFP28 fiber optic transceiver module designed for 25G networks. It operates at a nominal wavelength of 850 nm, supports a maximum data transfer rate of 25,000 Mbit/s and is intended for multimode fiber links with LC duplex connectors. The module is compact and lightweight (approximately 20 g) and is specified for typical short-reach applications up to 100 m. It implements industry MSA form-factor requirements and provides digital diagnostics capabilities when supported by host hardware.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers 25G performance over multimode fiber while occupying a standard SFP28 slot, enabling high-density deployment in switches and other network equipment. It uses LC duplex connectivity and supports simultaneous transmit and receive operation using 850 nm optics. The module includes digital diagnostics functionality (DDM/DOM) for real-time monitoring of voltage, laser bias current, optical transmit/receive power and temperature when the host platform exposes these readings. With an MTBF rating of 1,000,000 hours, the product is specified for extended operational availability and low maintenance.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28-850-SR-BO into an available SFP28-compatible port on a switch, router or other network device. Ensure the host device supports SFP28 transceivers and, if digital diagnostics are required, that the platform exposes DDM/DOM readings. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the transceiver and to the corresponding remote transceiver or patch panel. Configure link speed and interface settings on the host device as required by your network. Verify link status and diagnostics via the host management interface.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber for reliable 25G performance up to the specified distance, keep fiber connectors clean, and verify host compatibility with third-party SFP28 modules to ensure access to digital diagnostics features.
