Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics AFBR-725EMZ-BC 25000 Mbit/s SFP28 850 nm

The BlueOptics AFBR-725EMZ-BC is a fiber optic transceiver module engineered for high-speed short-range links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 25 000 Mbit/s and operates at an 850 nm wavelength using the SFP28 form factor. The module is intended for installation in compatible SFP28 ports and offers a compact, hot-pluggable solution for modern switches, servers and optical equipment in data center and enterprise environments.

Advantages

The module delivers a high throughput of 25 000 Mbit/s within the SFP28 standard while maintaining a small footprint and hot-swappable capability. Operating at 850 nm, it is suitable for multimode fiber links and typical short-reach applications. The standardized SFP28 interface ensures broad compatibility with network equipment that accepts SFP28 transceivers, simplifying upgrades and replacements.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 25 Gbps links in data centers
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections over multimode fiber
• Enterprise network uplinks and aggregation ports
• Optical testbeds and lab environments requiring SFP28 modules

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28
• Maximum data transfer rate: 25 000 Mbit/s
• Operating wavelength: 850 nm
• Optical link type: short-reach multimode fiber
• Hot-pluggable: yes

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28 transceiver into a compatible SFP28 port on a switch, server or optical device while the device is powered on or following the manufacturer’s guidance for hot-plugging. Connect the appropriate multimode fiber patch cable (matched to the module’s connectors and fiber type) and verify link status via the host device management interface. Ensure duplex connections and correct transmit/receive orientation when making fiber connections.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber rated for 850 nm short-reach transmission and follow cable bend-radius and connector cleanliness best practices. Check equipment compatibility lists for SFP28 support and verify firmware or driver updates if link negotiation issues occur.
