Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 25G-SR-SFP100M-BO SFP28 100m

The BlueOptics 25G-SR-SFP100M-BO is a 25GBASE-SR SFP28 fiber optic transceiver module designed for short-range high-speed connections over multimode fiber. It implements an LC duplex interface and operates at 850 nm for both transmitter and receiver, supporting data rates up to 25 Gbit/s with a typical reach of up to 100 meters. The module is housed in a lightweight aluminium enclosure and is intended for use in network equipment that accepts SFP28 optical modules and supports 25GBASE-SR.

Advantages

This SFP28 transceiver provides a compact, low-weight form factor and follows MSA-compliant specifications for physical compatibility. It supports simultaneous transmit and receive operation via LC duplex connectors and offers digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) for real-time monitoring of parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output and input power, and temperature when supported by the host device. The module is built with standard optical components appropriate for long service life and stable performance in short-reach multimode fiber links.

Suitable for

• 25 Gbit/s short-reach uplinks and server interconnects within data centers
• Switch-to-switch or switch-to-server connections over multimode fiber up to 100 m
• High-speed Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and similar 25G applications

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28 (SFP28 electrical/optical interface)
• Optical wavelength: 850 nm (transmitter and receiver)
• Maximum data rate: 25 Gbit/s
• Typical reach: up to 100 meters over multimode fiber
• Connector: LC duplex
• Housing material and colour: aluminium, silver
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Digital Diagnostics: DDM/DOM support (if host system supports SFF-8472)

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 25G-SR-SFP100M-BO into any SFP28-compatible port on network switches, routers, servers or storage systems following the device manufacturer's hot-plug procedures. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords between transceivers or patch panels, ensuring correct polarity for transmit and receive fibers. Verify that the host device is configured for 25G operation and that the port firmware or software accepts third-party SFP28 modules if required. If DDM/DOM monitoring is needed, enable or query the diagnostics functions through the host management interface.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber for best performance at 25 Gbit/s over short distances and keep patch cords and connectors clean to ensure optimal optical power levels. Confirm host compatibility with SFP28 modules and DDM support before deployment and test links after installation to verify signal levels and link stability.
