SFP28 25G Short-Range Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO SFP28-25G-SR BO27Q856S1D

The SFP28 25G Short-Range Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO SFP28-25G-SR BO27Q856S1D is a compact, hot-pluggable module designed for 25 Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber. Intended for short-distance data transmission, the transceiver provides a standardized electrical and optical interface suitable for installation in switches, routers and network interface cards. The module supports high-density deployments in data centers and enterprise networks where reliable 25G connectivity and straightforward installation are required.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers 25 Gbps data rates over multimode fiber with low power consumption and a small form factor, enabling high-density port configurations. Its hot-pluggable design allows replacement or upgrade without powering down equipment, while standardized SFP28 electrical and optical interfaces ensure broad compatibility with modern networking hardware. The device is engineered for stable short-range performance and straightforward physical installation in compatible ports.

Suitable for

• 25 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks in data centers
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch short-range connections
• High-density aggregation and leaf-spine network fabrics
• Enterprise network segments requiring multimode fiber links

Key specifications

• Data rate: 25 Gbps
• Optical interface: short-range multimode fiber
• Form factor: SFP28 hot-pluggable module
• Typical application: 25G Ethernet links for short distances
• Compatibility: designed for installation in network switches, routers and NICs with SFP28 ports
• Power and thermal: low-power design suitable for high-density racks

How to use

Install the transceiver into an empty SFP28 port on the switch, router or network interface card until it clicks into place. Connect the multimode fiber patch cable to the transceiver's optical port, ensuring correct fiber type and connector polarity. After physical installation, verify link status and configuration on the host device; most systems will detect the module automatically and negotiate the 25G link. For removal, press the module's release tab and pull it straight out while observing electrostatic discharge precautions.

Recommendations

Use appropriate multimode fiber and connectors rated for short-range 25G transmission and follow the host equipment vendor's compatibility and firmware guidance. Maintain fiber cleanliness to avoid signal degradation and observe electrostatic discharge handling when installing or removing the module.
