SFP28-transceivermodule BlueOptics AFBR-735JAMZ-BO 25000 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics AFBR-735JAMZ-BO is an SFP28 fiber optic transceiver module designed for short-range 10/25GBASE-SR applications. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 25000 Mbit/s over multimode fiber at a wavelength of 850 nm and uses an LC duplex connector. The module is supplied in a silver housing, has a compact SFP28 form factor and a weight of 40 g. It is built to meet CE, FCC and RoHS standards and offers an expected MTBF of 3,000,000 hours.

Advantages

The module provides simultaneous transmit and receive functionality with standard-compliant LC duplex connections and is compatible with common Broadcom-based hardware platforms. It implements Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with SFF-8472 for real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser current, optical output/input power and temperature. Components are selected to match MSA requirements, ensuring interoperability, stable optical performance over multimode fiber and a long service life.

Suitable for

• Short-range high-speed connections between switches and routers in data centers
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch uplinks at 10G/25G
• Storage systems and SAN fabrics requiring low-latency optical links
• Measurement and testing equipment that support SFP28 SR modules

How to use

Install the SFP28 transceiver into an SFP28-compatible port on supported network equipment according to the device manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring the module is fully seated until the latch engages. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cables to the transceiver, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify that the host device recognizes the module and, if required, enable or check DDM/DOM monitoring in the management interface to view real-time diagnostic values. For safe handling, avoid touching the optical interfaces and keep protective dust caps on until connection.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber for optimal 25G performance up to the specified 100 m distance, and pair the transceiver with matched LC duplex patch cables and compatible Broadcom-based hardware to ensure interoperability and access to DDM data. Store and handle the module in accordance with industry ESD precautions and keep connectors clean to maintain signal quality.
