SFP28 transceiver CBO SFP28-25G-LR-CI-BO 25 Gbit/s LC up to 10,000 m

CBO SFP28-25G-LR-CI-BO is an SFP28 optical transceiver module that supports a 25 Gbit/s data rate and uses an LC duplex connector. Engineered for long-reach single-mode fiber links, this module extends 25G connections up to 10,000 meters and is compatible with standard SFP28 slots on servers, switches and routers. The transceiver is intended for use in environments that require reliable high-speed links between network equipment in data centers and carrier networks.

Advantages

The module provides 25 Gbit/s throughput with a compact SFP28 form factor, allowing high-density port deployment. Its LC interface supports established fiber cabling and enables long-distance transmissions up to 10 km over single-mode fiber. The transceiver is designed for direct installation into SFP28 ports without additional adapters and is suitable for hot-swap replacement, reducing equipment downtime.

Suitable for

• Extending 25G links between switches and routers across long-distance single-mode fiber
• Server uplinks and top-of-rack connectivity in data centers
• Interconnection in carrier and metro aggregation networks
• High-density network equipment deployments where small form factor transceivers are required

Key specifications

• Nominal data rate: 25 Gbit/s
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Optical reach: up to 10,000 meters on single-mode fiber
• Form factor: SFP28
• Optical transmission media: single-mode fiber

How to use

Insert the module into a compatible SFP28 port on a powered network device following the manufacturer's hot-swap procedure. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cables with correct polarity and secure the connections. Verify link status and negotiate the proper speed and duplex settings via device management interfaces. Monitor the link for stability and check device logs or diagnostics if the port does not come up.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use high-quality single-mode fiber and LC connectors, maintain proper end-face cleanliness, and adhere to the fiber manufacturer's bending radius limits. Ensure firmware and transceiver compatibility with host equipment and perform link tests after installation to confirm expected throughput and reach.
