Transceiver CBO SFP28-25G-SR Fiber Optic 25G SR module for short-range multimode links

CBO SFP28-25G-SR is a 25 Gigabit SFP28 fiber optic transceiver module designed for short-range multimode links. The module offers a compact, hot-pluggable interface compatible with 25G Ethernet ports and common network equipment. It is intended for short-distance fiber runs inside data centers or server rooms where low-latency, high-throughput connectivity is required.

Advantages

The transceiver supports 25G data rates over multimode fiber and uses a standardized SFP28 form factor for straightforward insertion and replacement. Its hot-pluggable design enables maintenance and upgrades without powering down connected equipment. The module provides consistent link performance for short-range connections and is suitable for dense deployment scenarios where space and port density matter.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks between switches and aggregation equipment
• Server-to-switch connections in rack and leaf-spine architectures
• Short-distance multimode fiber links within racks or between adjacent racks
• High-density networking environments requiring compact transceivers

Key specifications

• Nominal data rate: 25 Gigabit Ethernet
• Optical medium: multimode fiber (MMF)
• Link range: short-reach multimode applications
• Form factor: SFP28, hot-pluggable
• Connector type: duplex LC compatible
• Typical use: single-channel 25G serial optical interface

How to use

Insert the SFP28 module into a compatible SFP28 port on a switch, server NIC, or other network device until it clicks into place. Connect duplex multimode fiber with LC connectors, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link LEDs or management interfaces to confirm the optical link is active. When replacing or removing the module, power state changes are generally unnecessary due to hot-pluggable capability, but follow your equipment manufacturer's guidance for safe handling and ESD precautions.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use appropriate multimode fiber types and quality LC patch cords, maintain clean connector endfaces, and adhere to recommended channel loss budgets for short-range 25G links. Observe electrostatic discharge precautions during handling and consult system documentation for supported transceiver lists and firmware compatibility.
