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

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-GM-BO is an SFP28 fiber optic transceiver module engineered for 25 Gbit/s Ethernet links. Designed for network media converters, switches and routers that accept SFP28 form-factor modules, this transceiver supports high-speed, single-lane 25 Gigabit data transmission over single-mode fiber using an LC connector. The module is intended for deployments that require long-reach connectivity up to 30,000 meters, providing a compact, hot-pluggable solution for data centers and enterprise networks.

Advantages

This transceiver offers a maximum data transfer rate of 25,000 Mbit/s and long-reach capability to 30 km over single-mode fiber, enabling bandwidth-hungry applications and extended link distances without intermediate amplification. The SFP28 form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of modern networking equipment while keeping power consumption and physical footprint low. Use of the LC duplex connector provides a standardized optical interface for reliable and easy integration.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-GM-BO into an available SFP28 port on a compatible switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered according to the manufacturer's instructions for hot-plug modules. Connect LC-terminated single-mode fiber cables to the transceiver, ensuring correct polarity and secure connections. Configure the host device interface for 25G operation if required, and verify link status and diagnostics through the network equipment management interface.

Recommendations

For reliable long-reach performance, use certified single-mode fiber and LC duplex connectors, verify transceiver and host compatibility, and follow proper fiber handling practices to avoid contamination. Check device firmware and compatibility lists if the host equipment enforces vendor or firmware-based transceiver validation.
