SFP28 Transceiver CBO SFP28-25G-SR-PA-BO 25 Gbit/s multimode LC UPC

CBO SFP28-25G-SR-PA-BO is a 25 Gbit/s SFP28 optical transceiver module designed for short-range multimode fiber links. The module supports high-speed uplinks and server interconnects in data centres and enterprise networks, and uses an LC UPC duplex connector for straightforward fibre termination. Its compact hot-pluggable SFP28 form factor enables quick installation and upgrades without powering down network equipment, delivering reliable low-latency connectivity for demanding network environments.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a 25 Gbit/s data rate optimized for short-range multimode applications, ensuring high throughput over short fibre spans. Its LC UPC interface and multimode compatibility make it suitable for common data centre cabling. The hot-pluggable SFP28 form factor reduces maintenance time and allows flexible port management. Built to industry interface standards, the module provides predictable performance and interoperability with compatible switches and servers.

Suitable for

• Data centre uplinks and top-of-rack connections
• Server-to-switch interconnects
• Short-range multimode backbone links
• High-density network environments requiring compact modules

Key specifications

• Nominal data rate: 25 Gbit/s
• Optical mode: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Connector type: LC duplex with UPC polish
• Form factor: SFP28, hot-pluggable
• Typical application range: short-reach multimode links (data centre distances)
• Latency: low-latency design suitable for switch and server interconnects

How to use

Install the module into a compatible SFP28 port on a switch, router or network adapter while the system is powered according to the equipment manufacturer's guidelines. Connect multimode fibre cables terminated with LC connectors to the duplex port, ensuring correct orientation and secure seating. Monitor link status through the host device to confirm successful negotiation at 25 Gbit/s. Remove the transceiver by gently extracting it from the port and protecting the optical interfaces with dust caps when not in use.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode fibre and properly polished LC UPC connectors to maintain signal integrity. Verify compatibility with the host device's optics support list and ensure fibre patch panels and trunks meet short-reach multimode specifications. Store unused modules in anti-static bags and keep connector endfaces clean to prevent performance degradation.
