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

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-SO-BO is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for 25 Gbit/s data transmission in SFP28-compatible ports. It provides a compact, hot-pluggable solution for upgrading switches, routers and servers to higher link speeds while maintaining standard form-factor compatibility. The module is intended for single-mode fiber links and supports reliable long-reach connections where SFP28 interface and 25,000 Mbit/s throughput are required.

Advantages

The module offers SFP28 interface compatibility for straightforward installation in existing SFP28 cages and cages with backward compatibility. Its 25,000 Mbit/s maximum data transfer rate supports high-bandwidth applications and improves uplink and server connectivity. The small, hot-pluggable transceiver form factor reduces downtime during hardware upgrades and simplifies maintenance. Designed with fiber optic transmission, it provides electrical isolation and immunity to electromagnetic interference for stable long-distance links.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks between switches and aggregation devices
• Server-to-switch high-speed connections
• Enterprise backbone links over single-mode fiber
• Network infrastructure requiring 25 Gbit/s SFP28 ports

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP28 form factor
• Maximum data transfer rate: 25000 Mbit/s (25 Gbit/s)
• Optical medium: single-mode fiber (intended)
• Form factor: hot-pluggable transceiver
• Typical application: long-reach fiber links

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible SFP28 port on a switch, router or server until it latches. Connect the single-mode fiber patch cable to the module’s optical receptacle, observing proper polarity and using LC connectors if appropriate. Ensure device firmware and port settings are configured for 25 Gbit/s operation and verify link status through the host device management interface. Hot-pluggability allows replacement or upgrade without shutting down the host equipment when supported by the system.

Recommendations

Before installation, confirm compatibility with the host device and check optical budget and cable type for required link distance. Handle the transceiver carefully, keep protective caps on connectors when not in use, and avoid touching the optical interface. For reliable operation, use clean single-mode fiber and follow the network equipment vendor’s guidelines for SFP28 modules and firmware support.
