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

CBO SFP28-25G-SR is a 25 Gigabit fiber optic SFP28 transceiver engineered for short-reach multimode fiber links. The module follows the standard SFP28 form factor and is compatible with 25G-capable network interfaces used in data center and enterprise switching equipment. It is designed to deliver high-speed, low-latency connectivity for short-distance connections and to simplify module replacement during network upgrades and maintenance.

Advantages

The transceiver provides reliable 25G performance over multimode fiber with low latency and consistent signal integrity. Its standardized SFP28 footprint ensures hot-pluggable installation and wide interoperability with 25G ports on switches, routers, and network interface cards. Compact size and modest power consumption make it suitable for high-density rack deployments, while compatibility with common multimode fiber types reduces the need for specialized cabling.

Suitable for

• Short-reach links inside data centers and server rooms
• 25G uplinks between switches and top-of-rack devices
• High-speed connections for enterprise aggregation and distribution layers
• Network upgrades where 25G optical ports replace slower interfaces

Key specifications

• Data rate: 25 Gigabit per second
• Form factor: SFP28 (hot-pluggable)
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF) for short-reach
• Typical reach: short-distance multimode links
• Interface: Duplex optical LC connector
• Application: Data center and enterprise switching environments
• Power consumption: low, suitable for high-density deployments

How to use

Insert the SFP28 transceiver into a compatible 25G SFP28 port on a switch, router or network interface card while the host device is powered on or following the equipment manufacturer’s hot-swap procedures. Connect a duplex multimode LC patch cable between transceivers at each link endpoint, ensuring correct fiber polarity. Verify link status through the host device management interface and configure port settings (speed, duplex, and any required transceiver options) as needed for network operation. For replacement, remove the failed module and insert the new unit following the same steps.

Recommendations

Use matched multimode fiber cabling and maintain clean LC connectors to ensure optimal signal quality. Confirm compatibility with the host device’s transceiver compatibility list or firmware, and monitor optical power and link statistics after installation to verify performance.
