CBO SFP28 Transceiver Module SFP28-25G-ESR-NV-BO 25 Gbit/s

The CBO SFP28 Transceiver Module SFP28-25G-ESR-NV-BO 25 Gbit/s is a compact pluggable optical module designed for 25 Gbit/s links. Intended for use in modern networking equipment, it supports short-range connections in data centers, top-of-rack switches and routers where a reliable 25G uplink or server connection is required. The module provides a hot-swappable SFP28 interface that enables straightforward bandwidth upgrades and maintenance without powering down systems.

Advantages

This SFP28 transceiver delivers a stable 25 Gbit/s data rate in a small form factor compatible with SFP28 ports. It enables quick installation and replacement thanks to its hot-pluggable design and standard electrical and optical interfaces. The compact module reduces rack space usage and supports interoperability with a wide range of 25G-capable switches and routers, making it suitable for incremental upgrades and mixed-vendor environments.

Suitable for

• Short-range 25G connections in data center networks
• Top-of-rack and aggregation switches with SFP28 ports
• Server network interface upgrades to 25 Gbit/s
• Maintenance and fast replacement of active transceivers

Key specifications

• Data rate: 25 Gbit/s
• Form factor: SFP28 (small form-factor pluggable)
• Application: short-range optical link for data center and enterprise networks
• Hot-swappable pluggable interface for live maintenance
• Compatibility: designed for SFP28 ports on switches, routers and NICs
• Power and thermal characteristics suitable for rack-mounted equipment (industry-standard SFP28 range)

How to use

Insert the SFP28 transceiver into a compatible SFP28 port on a switch, router or network interface card until it clicks into place. Connect the appropriate short-range optical cable to the module’s optical interface, ensuring correct polarity where applicable. Configure the network device as required for a 25 Gbit/s link, verify link status and monitor optical parameters through the host equipment. To remove the module, follow the host device’s hot-swap procedure and gently withdraw the transceiver.

Recommendations

Use the module with compatible short-range optical cables and SFP28-capable equipment. Confirm device compatibility and firmware settings before deployment, and handle the transceiver by its housing to avoid contamination of the optical interface. Store and transport the module in protective packaging to prevent physical damage and dust accumulation on connectors.
