Fiber Optic SFP28 Transceiver CBO AFCT-725SMZ 25Gbps 850nm

The BlueOptics Fiber Optic SFP28 Transceiver CBO AFCT-725SMZ 25Gbps 850nm is a hot-pluggable small form-factor module designed for short-reach multimode fiber links. It supports a 25Gbps data rate over multimode fiber at an 850nm wavelength and provides a compact pluggable interface suitable for compatible switches, routers and network interface cards. The transceiver targets high-speed data center interconnects and aggregation scenarios where reliable 25Gb connectivity and a compact optical module are required.

Advantages

This SFP28 transceiver offers a standardized, compact pluggable form factor that simplifies installation and replacement in compatible networking equipment. It supports a 25Gbps line rate at 850nm, enabling short-reach multimode connections common in rack-to-rack and top-of-rack deployments. The module is intended to provide interoperability with standard SFP28 ports and to reduce cabling complexity in high-density environments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach multimode fiber links in data center racks
• 25Gbps uplinks between switches and aggregation nodes
• High-density switch and server network interfaces requiring SFP28 optics
• Upgrading existing multimode infrastructure for higher bandwidth

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28 small form-factor pluggable
• Data rate: 25 Gbps
• Wavelength: 850 nm
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (short reach)
• Interface: Hot-pluggable electrical and optical connector

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP28 transceiver into a compatible SFP28 port on a switch, router or network card while the host device is powered according to the host's hot-plug guidelines. Connect the appropriate multimode fiber patch cable (matching connector type) to the transceiver's optical interface. Ensure link settings on the network device are configured for 25Gbps operation and verify link status through the host management interface. Follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions for safe insertion and removal to avoid damage to the connector or transceiver.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber and short patch cords for best performance at 850nm in typical data center short-reach scenarios. Verify compatibility with the switch or NIC vendor's supported optics list and maintain clean fiber connectors to preserve signal quality.
