Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics AFBR-725XMMZ-BO SFP28 LC Aluminium 20g

The BlueOptics AFBR-725XMMZ-BO is a fiber optic SFP28 transceiver module designed for 25GBASE-SR multi‑mode links. It uses an LC duplex connector and operates with 850 nm transmit and receive wavelengths to support high-speed optical data transfer over multi‑mode fiber. The module is compact and lightweight (approx. 20 g) and follows MSA SFP28 form‑factor standards for straightforward installation in compatible switches, routers and storage systems.

Advantages

This transceiver provides native 25 Gbit/s short‑reach optical connectivity with an LC duplex interface and supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with SFF‑8472 for real‑time monitoring of voltage, temperature, laser bias and optical power. Components are selected to meet MSA specifications and to deliver consistent performance in Avago AFBR‑725xMMZ compatible platforms. The aluminium housing and standardized SFP28 footprint simplify handling and installation in dense networking environments.

Suitable for

• 25G Ethernet uplinks and server interconnects in data centers
• High‑performance switching fabric and aggregation links
• Storage systems and SAN interconnects that accept SFP28 modules
• Short‑reach multi‑mode fiber links up to typical maximum distances for 25GBASE‑SR (up to ~100 m on suitable OM3/OM4 fiber)

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28 (MSA compliant)
• Data rate: 25 Gbit/s (25GBASE‑SR compliant)
• Optical wavelength: 850 nm (Tx/Rx)
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Fiber type: Multi‑mode fiber (MMF)
• Housing material/color: Aluminium
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) per SFF‑8472

How to use

Install the BlueOptics AFBR‑725XMMZ‑BO by inserting the SFP28 module into a compatible SFP28 port until it latches. Connect an LC duplex multi‑mode fiber patch cord (ensure correct polarity) between the module and the remote transceiver or patch panel. Verify link status through the host device LEDs and, if supported, use the host management interface to read DDM parameters for real‑time diagnostics. Follow vendor guidance for hot‑swap procedures if replacing modules in live systems.

Recommendations

Use OM3 or OM4 multi‑mode fiber for optimal reach at 25 Gbit/s, and verify that the target hardware platform supports Avago AFBR‑725xMMZ compatible SFP28 modules. Regularly monitor DDM parameters to detect signal degradation and maintain fiber connectors and patch cords free from dust or damage to ensure stable optical performance.
