SFP28-transceivermodule BlueOptics 1HW01-BO 25000 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics 1HW01-BO SFP28 transceiver module is a 25G 850 nm multimode fiber optic module in an SFP28 form factor. Designed for LC duplex connections according to MSA standards, it provides full-duplex optical transmission with separate transmitter and receiver channels at 850 nm. The module is silver, weighs approximately 20 g and is compliant with CE, FCC and RoHS standards. With an MTBF of 3,000,000 hours, it is intended for use in common hardware platforms such as switches, routers, storage systems and measurement equipment that support 25GBASE-SR SFP28 modules.

Advantages

The BlueOptics 1HW01-BO offers 25 Gbit/s data throughput over multimode fiber with an LC duplex interface and follows MSA compatibility requirements for broad interoperability. Built from components sourced from established manufacturers and tested for use in compatible vendor hardware, the transceiver includes digital diagnostic monitoring capabilities (DDM/DOM) for real-time parameters such as supply voltage, laser current, optical power and temperature. Its compliance with CE, FCC and RoHS and a long MTBF contribute to reliable operation and reduced maintenance.

Suitable for

• 25G data center uplinks and switch-to-switch connections
• High-speed server and storage interconnects
• Multimode fiber links within campus and enterprise networks
• Replacement or upgrade in hardware platforms compatible with 25GBASE-SR SFP28 modules

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28 (LC Duplex)

• Wavelength: 850 nm (multimode)
• Interface: LC duplex optical connector
• Weight: approx. 20 g
• Standards compliance: CE, FCC, RoHS
• Digital diagnostics: DDM/DOM (MSA SFF-8472 compliant)
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): 3,000,000 hours

How to use

Install the SFP28 transceiver into a compatible SFP28 port on your switch, router or other network device until it latches. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module, observing transmit/receive orientation. Ensure that the hosting hardware supports 25GBASE-SR SFP28 modules and, if you require digital diagnostics, that the device exposes DDM/DOM information. Configure the network device for the appropriate port speed and monitor link status through the device management interface. Handle the module using ESD precautions and keep protective dust caps on connectors when not in use.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber for optimal range at 25G and verify fiber attenuation and connector cleanliness before deployment. When replacing modules in vendor-specific hardware, confirm compatibility and, if necessary, use vendor-supported firmware or compatibility settings to ensure proper operation and access to DDM/DOM data.
