Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO SFP28-25G-LR 25G 1310nm Single-Mode

The BlueOptics CBO SFP28-25G-LR 25G 1310nm Single-Mode is a fiber optic transceiver module engineered for 25 Gigabit Ethernet links over single-mode fiber. Its SFP28 form factor fits standard SFP28 ports in switches, routers and other network equipment, enabling long-reach optical connections at a wavelength of 1310 nm. The module supports hot-pluggable installation, making it easy to add or replace ports without interrupting system operation.

Advantages

The module offers a compact SFP28 design that saves space in high-density network environments while providing 25G performance and reliable long-reach transmission. Support for single-mode fiber and a 1310 nm wavelength makes it suitable for extended link distances typical in data center interconnects and enterprise backbones. Compatibility with standard 25G interfaces and hot-pluggable capability simplify deployment and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks and inter-rack connections
• Enterprise campus backbone links
• High-speed switch and router ports with SFP28 slots
• Network equipment upgrades from 10G to 25G

Key specifications

• Data rate: 25 Gbit/s
• Wavelength: 1310 nm
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Form factor: SFP28 hot-pluggable transceiver
• Reach: long-reach single-mode links (industry-standard distances for 1310 nm)

How to use

Install the transceiver into an SFP28-compatible port on a switch, router or other network device until it clicks into place. Connect a single-mode fiber patch cable with suitable connectors to the module. Ensure both ends of the link use compatible transceivers and that device interfaces are configured for 25G operation. The module is hot-pluggable, so it can be inserted or removed while equipment is powered on, but follow proper ESD precautions and confirm link status via the host device after installation.

Recommendations

Use factory-terminated single-mode fiber patch cords and ensure connectors are clean to maintain signal integrity. Verify optical budgets and link distance limits for 1310 nm single-mode operation when planning deployments. For high-density installations, keep spare SFP28 modules and maintain firmware or driver compatibility on host devices to ensure stable 25G connections.
