Fiber optic SFP28 transceiver CBO SFP28-25G-SR-ZY-BO 25 Gbit/s 100 m multimode

CBO SFP28-25G-SR-ZY-BO is a fiber optic SFP28 transceiver that supports 25 Gbit/s data throughput and a link reach of up to 100 m over multimode fiber. The module uses the standard SFP28 form factor and a hot-pluggable interface, making it compatible with servers, switches and network equipment designed for 25G lanes. It is intended for upgrading or expanding 25G connectivity in data centers, aggregation switches and enterprise networks where short-reach multimode links are required.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers 25 Gbit/s performance in a compact SFP28 module designed for simple installation and maintenance. Hot-pluggable operation reduces downtime during upgrades, while multimode fiber support and a 100 m reach enable flexible cabling within racks and between adjacent racks. The design follows standard form-factor conventions to ensure interoperability with a wide range of 25G-capable network equipment.

Suitable for

• Short-reach uplinks between switches in data centers
• Server-to-switch connections within the same rack or adjacent racks
• Access and aggregation layer links in enterprise networks
• Upgrading existing multimode fiber infrastructure to 25G

Key specifications

• Data rate: 25 Gbit/s
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Maximum reach: up to 100 m on multimode fiber
• Form factor: SFP28 (hot-pluggable)
• Wavelength: short-range multimode optical transmission
• Interface: LC duplex optical connector

How to use

Insert the SFP28 module into a compatible SFP28 port on the switch or server until it seats firmly. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cables to the module’s optical ports, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. After installation, verify link status and speed through the host device management interface and adjust port settings as required. For removal, power down the port or follow hot-swap procedures recommended by the equipment vendor and pull the module straight out by the housing tab.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber for best performance and adhere to the equipment vendor’s compatibility list. Avoid bending the fiber beyond recommended radii and use dust caps when ports are unused. Verify transceiver compatibility with the switch firmware and configure the port for 25G operation to ensure stable link performance.
