Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 980-9I094-00AR00-BO SFP28 LC Aluminium 20g

The BlueOptics 980-9I094-00AR00-BO SFP28 LC Aluminium 20g is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for 25G high-speed short-reach links over multimode fiber. The module uses an SFP28 form factor with an LC duplex connector and an aluminium housing, offering a compact, lightweight solution for dense networking equipment. It supports optical transmission at 850 nm and is intended for use in systems that accept SFP28 25GBASE-SR transceivers.

Advantages

This SFP28 transceiver provides compatibility with industry-standard 25GBASE-SR interfaces and implements digital diagnostics monitoring for real-time information on supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature. The aluminium enclosure and lightweight build facilitate installation in high-density switch and router environments while maintaining mechanical robustness. Components are selected to meet MSA guidelines and deliver extended operational lifetime and stable optical performance.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 25G Ethernet connections over multimode fiber (up to 100 m)
• High-density switches and routers with SFP28 ports
• Storage and data center interconnects requiring 25GBASE-SR optics
• Environments where low EMI susceptibility and optical isolation are required

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28 (25G)
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Wavelength: 850 nm (transmit and receive)
• Supported protocol: 25GBASE-SR Ethernet (up to 25 Gbps)
• Suitable fiber type: Multimode fiber
• Typical reach: up to 100 meters (dependent on fiber type and link conditions)
• Housing material: Aluminium
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Digital Diagnostics: DDM/DOM (MSA SFF-8472 compliant)

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28 module into an available SFP28 slot on a compatible switch, router or storage device according to the host device manual. Connect an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable to the module and the corresponding remote transceiver or patch panel, observing transmit/receive orientation. Ensure the host system supports 25GBASE-SR optics and, if required, enable or verify DDM/DOM monitoring through the device management interface to access diagnostic parameters. For initial bring-up, confirm link status and check receive/transmit power levels reported by DDM.

Recommendations

Use quality multimode fiber patch cords and compliant patch panels to achieve the specified reach and signal integrity. Verify host compatibility for third-party SFP28 transceivers before deployment and consider testing a sample module in your environment to validate interoperability and DDM functionality.
