SFP28-transceivermodule BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-CH-BO 25000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-CH-BO is a fiber optic SFP28 transceiver module engineered for 25 Gbit/s data links. Designed for optical networks in data centers and enterprise environments, this module supports long-reach connections up to 30,000 m over single-mode fiber and uses an LC duplex connector. The compact SFP28 form factor provides compatibility with SFP28 ports and supports high-density deployments where reliable, low-latency 25 GbE links are required.

Advantages

This transceiver offers stable 25,000 Mbit/s throughput with long-distance capability, allowing consolidation of metro and long-haul links without additional signal conversion. Its industry-standard SFP28 interface ensures broad compatibility with switches and routers that accept SFP28 modules. The LC connector and optical design minimize insertion loss and support predictable optical budgeting for network planning.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks and spine-leaf interconnects
• Enterprise campus backbone links
• Telecommunication metro and long-reach links
• Fiber optic link extensions between buildings

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP28 form factor
• Maximum data transfer rate: 25,000 Mbit/s
• Maximum transfer distance: up to 30,000 m over single-mode fiber
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Optical reach: long-reach (ER/L class)

How to use

Insert the SFP28 module into a compatible SFP28 port on a switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered off or following the vendor's hot-swap guidance. Connect LC-terminated single-mode fiber cables to the module, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link activity and speed using the host device's management interface and confirm optical parameters such as Tx/Rx power when necessary. Use proper ESD precautions when handling the module and keep protective caps on the optical ports until cables are connected.

Recommendations

Use this module with single-mode fiber and LC connectors for long-distance links. Confirm compatibility with the host equipment's SFP28 port and supported link profiles. For optical budget planning, check transmitter wavelength and receiver sensitivity against your fiber span and any inline components. Maintain cleanliness of fiber endfaces and monitor link status in network management to ensure consistent 25 Gb/s operation.
