SFP transceiver BlueOptics 25G-SFP28-LR-BO Fiber optic 25000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 25G-SFP28-LR-BO is a fiber optic SFP28 transceiver designed for 25 Gbit/s Ethernet links. This compact, silver-coloured module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 25000 Mbit/s and has a small 20 g weight, making it suitable for high-density network equipment. It meets CE, FCC and RoHS compliance and provides a high MTBF for stable operation in data centre and enterprise environments.

Advantages

The SFP28 form factor provides backward-compatible mechanical fit with SFP cages while enabling 25 Gbit/s performance. The module's fiber optic interface ensures low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference for long-reach connections. Compliance with CE, FCC and RoHS indicates regulatory and environmental conformity, and the specified MTBF of 1,000,000 hours reflects design emphasis on reliability. The lightweight silver housing simplifies installation and minimizes additional load on device ports.

Suitable for

• 25 Gbit/s Ethernet uplinks between switches and routers
• High-density server and switch ports in data centres
• Fiber backbone and aggregation links requiring low-latency connections
• Upgrading existing SFP infrastructure to 25G-capable modules

How to use

Handle the transceiver by its housing and avoid touching the optical connector endface. Insert the SFP28 module into a compatible SFP/SFP28 slot on the network device until it latches. Connect appropriate fiber optic cables with matching connectors and verify link status using the device interface. When removing the module, disengage the latch and pull the module straight out. Store unused modules with dust caps in a clean, dry environment.

Recommendations

Use certified single-mode fiber and clean connectors to preserve signal quality. Verify device compatibility with SFP28 modules and, if needed, check vendor interoperability notes. For best results in data centre deployments, monitor link status and temperature and use proper cable management to avoid strain on the transceiver.
