Fiber optic transceiver BlueOptics 10501 SFP28 25000 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics 10501 SFP28 fiber optic transceiver is a hot-pluggable module designed for 25 Gbit/s class links over multimode fiber. Operating at an 850 nm wavelength, this transceiver provides a compact SFP28 form factor compatible with switches, routers and network interface cards that support SFP28 ports. The module implements high-speed serial transmission for data center and enterprise networking where short-range multimode connections are required.

Advantages

The module delivers a maximum data transfer rate of 25000 Mbit/s while maintaining the compact footprint of an SFP28 form factor. Its 850 nm VCSEL-based optical interface is optimized for multimode fiber, offering predictable short-range performance with low power consumption. The transceiver supports industry-standard electrical and optical characteristics for easy interoperability with compatible networking equipment and allows hot-swap replacement without interrupting system operation.

Suitable for

• Short-reach multimode fiber links within data centers
• Top-of-rack and leaf-spine switch connections
• Server uplinks to SFP28-capable switches and routers
• High-density networking deployments requiring 25 Gbit/s links

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28
• Nominal wavelength: 850 nm
• Maximum data transfer rate: 25000 Mbit/s
• Optical medium: multimode fiber (MMF)
• Hot-pluggable transceiver module

How to use

Insert the SFP28 transceiver into a compatible SFP28 port on your switch, router or network card until it latches. Connect appropriate multimode fiber patch cables with matching connectors to the transceiver’s optical interface. Ensure both ends of the link use compatible multimode transceivers and fiber types; follow your network equipment’s documentation to verify supported link distances and settings. The device is hot-swappable, so it can be installed or removed while the host remains powered, but observe standard electrostatic discharge precautions when handling the module.

Recommendations

Use OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber for optimal short-range 25 Gbit/s performance, verify link support and firmware compatibility on the host equipment, and avoid bending fiber beyond recommended bend radii. Store unused modules in antistatic packaging and clean fiber connectors before mating to reduce insertion loss and maintain link quality.
