Transceiver CBO SFP28-25G-SR Fiber Optic 25G

The Transceiver CBO SFP28-25G-SR Fiber Optic 25G is a short-reach SFP28 module that delivers a 25 Gigabit Ethernet interface over multimode fiber. Designed for use in switches, routers and network interface cards with SFP28 ports, this transceiver supports high-bandwidth, low-latency links for data center and enterprise uplinks, server connections and top-of-rack aggregation. The compact SFP28 form factor allows straightforward installation in standard SFP28 cages and hot-swap operation without disrupting traffic.

Advantages

This fiber optic transceiver supports 25 Gbps data rates with low latency and is optimized for short-reach multimode fiber links. It offers compatibility with common SFP28 port designs, enabling straightforward integration into existing network equipment. The module's form factor and physical interface support hot-swap replacement and ease of maintenance in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Data center server to switch uplinks
• Top-of-rack aggregation and leaf-spine fabrics
• Enterprise network uplinks and distribution links
• High-bandwidth, low-latency links over multimode fiber

How to use

Install the transceiver by inserting the SFP28 module into a compatible SFP28 port on the switch, router or network interface card until it clicks into place. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords following correct polarity and ensure connectors and fiber are clean before mating. Configure the host device for 25GbE operation if necessary and verify link status and speed through the device management interface. For hot-swap replacements, remove the module using the latch mechanism and insert the replacement while monitoring the link state.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber with appropriate attenuation and patch cords rated for the intended short-reach distance. Keep fiber connectors clean and use dust caps when the transceiver is unused. Verify compatibility with the host device's SFP28 port and follow optical budget and link design guidelines for 25GbE deployments.
