Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics LM-SFP28-25G-SR-BO SFP28 LC Aluminium 20g

The BlueOptics LM-SFP28-25G-SR-BO is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed short-reach data transmission. It uses an SFP28 interface with an LC duplex connector and is optimized for 25GBASE-SR applications over multimode fiber. The module has an aluminium housing and a lightweight design (approx. 20 g) for simple installation and handling in data center and enterprise network equipment.

Advantages

This transceiver supports 25 Gbps optical links using multimode fiber with separate 850 nm transmitter and receiver channels, enabling full-duplex data transfer. The SFP28 interface conforms to MSA-compatible form factors for broad compatibility with networking equipment that accepts SFP28 modules. The aluminium housing provides a compact, durable enclosure while the low weight simplifies handling and hot-swap replacement in racks and chassis.

How to use

Insert the SFP28 transceiver into a compatible SFP28 port on your switch, router or server module until it clicks into place. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module following the transmit/receive orientation. Ensure the host device supports 25GBASE-SR optics and, if required, enable or verify Digital Diagnostics (DDM/DOM) support in the host system to monitor optical parameters. For removal, release the latch and gently pull the module out of the port.

Recommendations

Use high-quality LC multimode patch cords and follow the vendor’s recommendations for fiber type and maximum reach to ensure signal integrity. Verify that the host hardware and firmware accept third-party SFP28 modules and enable DDM/DOM functionality if network monitoring is required. Handle the transceiver by its housing, keep dust caps on unused ports, and perform connector cleaning before installation to maintain optimal performance.
