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

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-PA-BO is a single-port SFP28 fiber optic transceiver module engineered for 25 Gbit/s data transmission. Designed for use in modern network infrastructures, this module supports high-speed links over single-mode fiber with LC connectors and a maximum reach of up to 30 km. The compact SFP28 form factor is compatible with many switches, routers and media converters that accept SFP28 modules, providing a reliable optical interface for data centers, aggregation rings and enterprise backbone links.

Advantages

This transceiver delivers 25 Gbit/s bandwidth in an industry-standard SFP28 package, enabling dense port deployment and straightforward hot-swap replacement. Its LC fiber connector and long-reach capability simplify optical layer design for extended links without intermediate repeaters. The module is designed for interoperability with common switch and router platforms supporting SFP28 optics, ensuring predictable signal performance and stable connectivity in demanding network environments.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28 module into an empty SFP28 port on a compatible switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered according to the vendor’s guidelines for hot-pluggable optics. Connect LC-terminated single-mode fiber patch cords to the module’s duplex LC receptacle, observing transmit/receive orientation. After insertion and fiber connection, verify link status and negotiated speed via the host device’s management interface and perform basic diagnostics such as optical power measurements if required.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber with appropriate attenuation and ITU-T-compliant connectors for the stated 30 km reach. Ensure transceiver firmware and host device compatibility with SFP28 optics and follow ESD precautions during handling. For best results, verify link budget and perform optical power testing during installation to confirm sufficient signal margin.
