BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-CI-BO network transceiver module Fiber optic 25000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-CI-BO network transceiver module is a fiber-optic SFP28 module engineered for 25 Gbit/s data links. Designed for use in modern switches, routers and transceivers with SFP28 slots, this module supports high-bandwidth connections over fiber to deliver stable, low-latency transport for server uplinks, aggregation and long-reach links. The compact SFP28 form factor enables easy hot-plug installation and compatibility with equipment that accepts SFP28 optics.

Advantages

This SFP28 transceiver provides reliable 25 Gbit/s performance while maintaining the small SFP28 footprint for dense port deployments. Its fiber-optic design reduces electromagnetic interference and supports long-distance links when paired with appropriate fiber and transceivers. The module is suitable for integration into existing SFP28-capable infrastructure and helps maintain predictable throughput and link stability in data center and enterprise environments.

Suitable for

• Server uplinks and top-of-rack switch connections
• Data center aggregation and spine-leaf architectures
• High-speed links between switches and routers
• Long-reach fiber connections when used with compatible fiber and optics

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP28 small form-factor pluggable
• Maximum data transfer rate: 25 000 Mbit/s (25 Gbit/s)
• Optical medium: single-mode or multimode fiber compatibility depends on transceiver sub-type and fiber used
• Form factor: hot-pluggable SFP28 module for network equipment

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-CI-BO module into an available SFP28 port on a compatible switch or router while the host device is powered on or off, following the equipment manufacturer’s guidance for hot-plugging. Connect the appropriate fiber optic cable to the module’s optical connector, ensuring correct connector type and polarity. Configure the host interface through the device management interface to enable the 25 Gbit/s link and verify link status and speed once the physical connection is in place.

Recommendations

Use factory-tested single-mode or multimode fiber and ensure connector cleanliness to achieve optimal signal quality. Verify that the network equipment firmware and transceiver compatibility lists include support for SFP28 modules at 25 Gbit/s. For long-reach deployments, confirm fiber type and optical budget to match the module’s reach characteristics.
