SFP28-transceivermodule BlueOptics 10504-BO 25000 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics 10504-BO SFP28 transceiver module is designed for 25G optical data links using single-mode fiber. Supporting a maximum data transfer rate of 25000 Mbit/s and operating at a 1310 nm wavelength, this compact silver SFP28 module provides a pluggable LC duplex interface compatible with MSA-defined SFP28 ports. It is lightweight (approx. 20 g) and RoHS-compliant, intended for integration into networking hardware that accepts 25G SFP28 LR optics.

Advantages

The module supports 25GBASE-LR signaling for point-to-point optical connections up to typical single-mode distances and implements standard SFP28 electrical and mechanical specifications for broad interoperability. Built and tested to work with platforms that support the corresponding 25G LR transceiver, it includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time reporting of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature when the host hardware exposes these functions. The compact form factor and standardized LC duplex connector allow simultaneous transmit and receive over separate fibers.

Suitable for

• 25 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and server-to-switch connections
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and high-speed storage interconnects
• Long-reach single-mode point-to-point links within campus and data center networks
• Use in switches, routers, storage systems and other MSA-compatible network equipment

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP28 (LC duplex connector)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 25,000 Mbit/s (25G)
• Optical wavelength: 1310 nm (TX/RX)
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF) intended
• Typical link distance: designed for long-reach LR applications (up to several kilometers depending on fiber and system)
• Form factor weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Compliance: RoHS; MSA-compatible electrical and mechanical specifications

How to use

Insert the SFP28 module into a compatible SFP28 port on a switch, router or other network device while the device is powered down or following the host vendor’s hot-plug instructions. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords to the module’s LC connector, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status and negotiated speed on the host device and enable DDM/DOM monitoring in the management interface if supported by the hardware to view module diagnostics. Follow the host vendor’s guidelines for firmware or driver compatibility if required.

Recommendations

Use quality single-mode fiber patch cords and, where applicable, patch panels to ensure optimal optical performance and reach. Confirm that the target hardware explicitly supports 25G SFP28 LR optics and that any vendor lockdown or module validation settings permit third-party transceivers. Monitor DDM values periodically to detect potential degradations in power or temperature and perform connector cleaning as part of routine maintenance.
