How to use

Install the SFP28-25G-SR module into a compatible SFP28 port on a switch, server NIC or optical adapter while the system is powered according to vendor instructions for hot-plug modules. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords with appropriate fiber type and patching practice. Verify link status and correct port configuration on the network device, including speed and duplex settings or auto-negotiation as supported. If needed, perform diagnostics via the host device to confirm signal levels and link integrity.

Recommendations

Use OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber for reliable 25Gbps short-range performance; ensure proper fiber polarity and clean LC connectors before insertion. Confirm compatibility with the host equipment and firmware support for SFP28 modules. For rack cabling, maintain appropriate bend radius and cable management to preserve optical performance.
