CBO SFP28 optical transceiver SFP28-25G-SR-IA-BO 25G multimode 100 m

CBO SFP28-25G-SR-IA-BO is a 25 Gigabit SFP28 optical transceiver engineered for short-reach multimode fiber links up to 100 meters. The module is hot-pluggable and compact, intended for use in high-speed Ethernet and data center environments. It supports 25GBASE-SR operation over OM3/OM4 multimode fiber and is suitable for connecting servers, switches and storage equipment where reliable short-distance 25G connectivity is required.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a small form factor that enables high port density in switches and servers while maintaining 25 Gbps throughput. Being hot-pluggable allows replacement or installation without shutting down host equipment. Designed for multimode fiber it enables cost-effective short-distance links and supports common 25G Ethernet deployments in data center and enterprise networks.

Suitable for

• 25G short-reach connections between switches and servers
• Top-of-rack and spine-leaf data center interconnects
• Storage area network links requiring 25 Gigabit bandwidth
• High-density network equipment with SFP28 ports

Key specifications

• Data rate: 25 Gbit/s
• Optical interface: SFP28 form factor, multimode fiber
• Maximum link distance: up to 100 meters on multimode fiber
• Wavelength: short-range multimode optics (typical VCSEL-based SR wavelength)
• Hot-pluggable module suitable for standard SFP28 ports

How to use

Insert the SFP28 module into a compatible SFP28 slot on a switch, server or storage device while the host remains powered, observing electrostatic discharge precautions. Connect the multimode fiber cable to the module's optical interface, ensure correct connector type and polarity, and verify link status in the host device. Configure the host network port for 25G operation if required by the equipment firmware or operating system.

Recommendations

Use OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber to achieve the specified 100 m reach and ensure clean, undamaged connectors to maintain signal quality. Verify transceiver compatibility with your network equipment vendor and keep firmware or driver configurations up to date for optimal link stability.
