SFP28-transceivermodule BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-F5-BO 25000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-F5-BO is a single-lane SFP28 fiber optic transceiver module engineered for 25 Gbit/s networks. Designed for use in data centers and enterprise environments, this module supports long-reach multimode/single-mode links over fiber and uses an LC connector for physical cabling. The transceiver delivers reliable high-speed transmission up to 25,000 Mbit/s and is intended to provide stable optical connectivity for switches, routers and media converters equipped with SFP28 ports.

Advantages

This SFP28 transceiver offers a compact form factor and hot-pluggable SFP28 interface for easy installation and maintenance without powering down systems. It supports long transfer distances up to 30,000 m, enabling extended-reach optical links between network sites. The LC fiber connector ensures broad compatibility with common fiber patch panels and duplex cable assemblies, while the module’s 25 Gbit/s capability meets modern bandwidth requirements for server uplinks and aggregation layers.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks and switch-to-switch connections
• Enterprise backbone and campus network links
• Fiber runs requiring long-reach optical connectivity up to 30 km
• Upgrading 10G infrastructure to 25G server and aggregation ports

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP28 (hot-pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 25,000 Mbit/s
• Maximum transfer distance: 30,000 m (30 km)
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Optical reach: long-reach class suitable for single-mode fiber links

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28 module into an available SFP28 port on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect an LC duplex fiber cable between the module and the remote transceiver or patch panel, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. After insertion, the connected device should recognize the module; configure link settings on the host device as required for 25 Gbit/s operation and confirm link light and signal status. For safe removal, follow the host device’s hot-swap procedures.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber for the specified long-reach distances and ensure fiber connectors are clean before mating. Verify compatibility with the host hardware’s SFP28 port and firmware, and monitor optical power levels and link status after installation. Store unused modules in anti-static packaging and avoid exposing optical interfaces to dust or moisture.
