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

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ER-CI-BO network transceiver module provides 25 Gbit/s optical connectivity in a compact SFP28 form factor. Designed for long-reach single-mode links, it transmits at 1310 nm and supports data transfer over distances up to 40 km. The module has a metal housing, operates from a 3.3 V supply and is RoHS compliant. Its small size and standard SFP28 interface make it suitable for installation in switches, routers and optical line cards where reliable 25 Gbit/s links are required.

Advantages

The module delivers up to 25 Gbit/s throughput in a low-profile SFP28 package, enabling high-density deployment. Metal construction improves heat dissipation and mechanical durability while the 1310 nm wavelength and single-mode reach of up to 40 km support metro and long-distance connections. Compliance with RoHS ensures the component meets common environmental and safety requirements. The 3.3 V operating voltage matches standard transceiver power rails for broad compatibility.

Suitable for

• Long-reach 25 Gbit/s links in data center interconnects
• Carrier and metro network aggregation
• Upgrading server and switch ports to 25G optical uplinks
• Optical backbone connections between campus or colocation sites

How to use

Install the SFP28 transceiver into a compatible SFP28 port on your switch, router or optical interface card following the vendor's hot-swap and electrostatic discharge guidelines. Connect single-mode fiber with appropriate LC connectors and verify transmit/receive orientation. After insertion, confirm link status and speed on the host device and adjust transceiver settings in the management interface if required. When removing the module, power down or follow hot-swap procedures and use protective caps to avoid contamination of the optical interfaces.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber with a clean LC connector and follow fiber handling best practices. Verify compatibility with the host equipment firmware and monitor link parameters during initial deployment to ensure stable 25 Gbit/s operation over the intended distance.
