BlueOptics SFP28 SFP-10/25G-BXU-BO fiber optic transceiver 25 Gbit/s LC 1270 nm singlemode

BlueOptics SFP-10/25G-BXU-BO is an SFP28 fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode links. It supports a maximum data rate of 25 Gbit/s and uses an LC simplex connector. The module is intended for long-reach connections up to 10 km and comes in a compact SFP28 form factor with a silver housing.

Advantages

The transceiver offers 25 Gbit/s throughput in an industry-standard SFP28 package, enabling high-density installations and backward compatibility with equipment that accepts SFP28 modules. Its LC connector and single-mode design provide stable point-to-point connections, and the small 20 g weight and standard compliance (CE, FCC, RoHS) simplify integration into existing network infrastructure.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This module is designed for single-mode fiber and point-to-point links; it is not suitable for multimode fiber networks. It also uses a fixed wavelength (TX 1270 nm / RX 1330 nm) and BIDI functionality, so it is not appropriate where different wavelength pairings or non-BIDI transceivers are required.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the SFP28 transceiver into a compatible SFP28 port on your switch or router until it latches. Connect a single-mode LC simplex fiber cable to the module, ensuring TX/RX orientation matches the far-end transceiver’s wavelengths. Allow the device to negotiate link parameters; monitor the link status via the host device. Handle the module using proper ESD precautions and keep protective caps on the connector when not in use.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use factory-tested single-mode LC cables, pair the module with the correct BIDI counterpart (RX1270/TX1330 swapped as required), and perform link verification after installation. Store and transport the transceiver in anti-static packaging and avoid exposure to extreme temperatures beyond the specified operating range.
