BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ER-BR-BO network transceiver module Fiber optic 25000 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ER-BR-BO is a single‑mode fiber optic SFP28 transceiver module designed for 25 Gbit/s data links over extended reach. It operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm, supports transmission distances up to 40 km over suitable single‑mode fiber and is supplied with a metal housing and a 3.3 V operating voltage. The module conforms to common MSA form‑factor and RoHS requirements and is intended for installation in switches, routers and other networking equipment that accept SFP28 modules.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a compact SFP28 interface for 25GBASE‑ER links with LC duplex fiber connection compatibility. Its metal housing offers mechanical robustness and thermal conduction for stable operation. Operating at 1310 nm enables long‑distance single‑mode transmission up to the specified 40 km when used with appropriate fiber and link margin. The module’s 3.3 V supply and standard SFP28 mechanical format simplify integration into standard network hardware.

Suitable for

• Long‑reach 25 Gbit/s connections between data center sites
• Aggregation links in campus and carrier networks
• High‑performance server-to-switch or switch-to-switch uplinks
• Optical link upgrades in equipment that supports SFP28 modules

How to use

Install the SFP28 module into a compatible SFP28 port on network equipment while the host device is powered down or following the vendor’s hot‑swap guidelines. Use LC duplex single‑mode patch cables and ensure correct fiber polarity. Verify link parameters and negotiate 25G operation according to the host device’s interface settings. If Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) is available and supported by the host, use the monitoring interface to observe real‑time operating parameters such as voltage and optical power levels.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use single‑mode fiber with appropriate attenuation and maintain proper connector cleanliness. Confirm compatibility with your hardware vendor’s supported transceiver list and ensure link budget calculations account for fiber loss, connectors and splices to achieve the stated 40 km reach.
