SFP28 optical transceiver CBO SFP28-25G-ESR-MV-BO 25 Gbit/s 300 m LC

CBO SFP28-25G-ESR-MV-BO is an SFP28 optical transceiver module that supports 25 Gbit/s data transmission over multimode or singlemode fiber with an LC duplex connector and a maximum reach of up to 300 meters. The module is designed for use in data center and enterprise networks, providing a compact hot-pluggable interface compatible with switches, routers and network adapters that accept SFP28 form factor modules. It is intended for short-reach fiber links where 25Gb performance and reliable signal integrity are required.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers 25 Gbit/s line-rate performance in a small SFP28 package, enabling high-density port deployments. Its hot-pluggable design allows module replacement or upgrades without powering down equipment. The LC connector provides a standardized duplex fiber interface for straightforward integration into existing fiber patching infrastructure. A reach of up to 300 m makes it suitable for typical intra-rack and short inter-rack connections in data centers.

Suitable for

• 25 Gigabit Ethernet links in data center and campus networks
• Short-reach fiber connections between switches and servers
• High-density switch ports and uplink connections
• Network adapter and host card installations requiring SFP28

Key specifications

• Data rate: 25 Gbit/s
• Form factor: SFP28 (hot-pluggable)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Maximum reach: up to 300 m (fiber-dependent)
• Application: short-reach 25Gb Ethernet links

How to use

Insert the SFP28 module into an SFP28-compatible port until it latches; ensure the host device supports 25 Gbit/s transceivers. Connect LC duplex patch cables to the module and to the corresponding port on the remote device, observing correct Tx/Rx orientation. After connection, verify link status and speed on the switch or network adapter management interface. To remove the module, release the latch and pull the module straight out to avoid damaging the port.

Recommendations

Use quality LC duplex fiber cables rated for the intended distance and fiber type, maintain clean connector endfaces, and verify compatibility with the host equipment firmware. Avoid excessive bending of fiber cables and operate the module within the manufacturer’s recommended temperature and power ranges to ensure reliable 25Gb performance.
