SFP28 transceiver CBO SFP28-25G-ESR-LC-BO 25 Gbit/s, LC, up to 300 m

CBO SFP28-25G-ESR-LC-BO is a single-module optical transceiver designed for 25 Gbit/s Ethernet links over multimode fiber. The module uses an LC duplex connector and supports a link distance of up to 300 m, making it suitable for short-range data center interconnects and high-speed network uplinks. The transceiver conforms to SFP28 form factor and is intended for insertion into compatible SFP28 ports to provide a 25 Gbit/s full-duplex optical interface.

Advantages

The CBO SFP28-25G-ESR-LC-BO provides straightforward plug-and-play installation in SFP28 ports and delivers a stable 25 Gbit/s data throughput for demanding network environments. Its LC duplex interface and multimode compatibility reduce cabling complexity in rack and patch panel deployments, while the compact SFP28 form factor preserves port density in switches and servers. Built to support short-range links up to 300 m, it balances reach and performance for typical data center and campus backbone applications.
