Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 3HE14834AA-BO SFP28 LC Aluminium 20g

The BlueOptics 3HE14834AA-BO SFP28 LC Aluminium 20g is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed short-range connections in data center and enterprise networks. It uses the SFP28 form factor with an LC duplex optical interface and a lightweight aluminium housing. The module supports multi-mode fiber transmission at typical short-reach wavelengths and is intended for insertion into compatible SFP28 slots on switches, routers and storage devices that accept MSA-compliant SFP28 transceivers.

Advantages

The aluminium casing keeps weight low (approximately 20 g) while providing mechanical protection and thermal conduction. The SFP28 interface supports 25G-class links in a compact, hot-pluggable module that conforms to common MSA optics standards. Compatibility with standard LC duplex connections simplifies cabling and integration into existing multimode fiber infrastructures. The compact design and industry-standard form factor enable straightforward replacement or scaling of active optical ports without modifying host hardware.

Suitable for

• 25G short-reach uplinks between switches and aggregation devices
• High-speed server connections in data centers using multimode fiber
• Interconnects for storage systems and hardware platforms that accept SFP28 modules

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Optimized for multimode fiber short-reach transmission

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible SFP28 cage on the host device until it latches. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Ensure the host device supports SFP28 modules and the required data rate. After insertion, verify link status through the host’s management interface and allow time for negotiation and optical level stabilization before transferring production traffic.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode LC patch cords and clean connectors before mating. Confirm firmware and hardware compatibility with the target switch or router vendor and enable any required diagnostics support to monitor optical parameters. For short-reach multimode links, follow manufacturer guidelines for maximum link distance and fiber type to ensure reliable 25G operation.
