SFP28 transceiver CBO SFP28-25G-SR-LE-BO 25 Gbit/s multimode 100 m

CBO SFP28-25G-SR-LE-BO is a compact hot-pluggable SFP28 optical transceiver designed to provide 25 Gbit/s connectivity over multimode fiber for short-reach links up to 100 meters. It is suited for data center and enterprise network environments where 25G Ethernet is required between switches, servers or aggregation devices. The module supports standard SFP28 form factor interoperability and simplifies migration to higher-speed links while minimizing additional cabling.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers a standardized 25 Gbit/s data rate with support for multimode fiber, allowing straightforward integration into existing fiber infrastructure without major changes. Its hot-pluggable SFP28 form factor enables rapid installation and replacement without powering down equipment. The module’s short-reach design reduces cost and complexity for intra-rack and adjacent-rack connections in data centers.

Suitable for

• 25G Ethernet connections between switches and servers
• Data center top-of-rack and end-of-row links
• Short-reach multimode fiber links up to 100 m
• Upgrading 10G infrastructures to 25G in confined cabling environments

Key specifications

• Data rate: 25 Gbit/s
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Maximum link length: Up to 100 m on multimode fiber
• Form factor: SFP28, hot-pluggable
• Application: Short-reach Ethernet and data center interconnects

How to use

Insert the SFP28 module into a compatible SFP28 port on a switch, server NIC or transceiver slot while the host device is powered on or according to the host’s hot-swap procedures. Connect the module to multimode fiber cabling using the appropriate LC duplex connector and ensure fiber polarity is correct. Verify link status and speed through the host device management interface and monitor for proper signal levels and errors.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber for optimal reach and margin, keep fiber connectors clean to prevent signal loss, and verify compatibility with the host port firmware and optics support list before deployment.
