SFP Transceiver BlueOptics SFP-25G-SR-MM850-BO Fiber optic SFP28 100m

The BlueOptics SFP-25G-SR-MM850-BO is a fiber optic SFP28 transceiver module engineered for 25G high-speed data transmission over multimode fiber. It implements the 25GBASE-SR optical interface with an 850 nm transmitter and receiver, uses an LC duplex connector and supports a maximum reach of up to 100 meters. Constructed in an aluminium housing and weighing approximately 20 g, this compact transceiver is intended for integration into compatible networking equipment that accepts SFP28 modules.

Advantages

This SFP28 transceiver provides industry-standard SFP28 compatibility for straightforward insertion into supported ports and is built to MSA form-factor guidelines. The multi-mode 850 nm optical design allows simultaneous transmit and receive over an LC duplex connection. The aluminium casing offers a lightweight but durable enclosure appropriate for rack and chassis environments. Digital diagnostics support is commonly provided on SFP28 multimode modules to assist with status monitoring and maintenance when the host hardware enables DDM/DOM.

Suitable for

• 25G Ethernet links within data center racks and short-reach aggregation
• High-speed connections between switches, routers and servers over multimode fiber
• Storage networking and SAN uplinks supporting 25GBASE-SR

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28 (SFP-compatible mechanical interface)
• Optical wavelength: 850 nm (multimode)
• Maximum transmission distance: up to 100 meters over multimode fiber
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Supported data rate: 25 Gbit/s (25GBASE-SR)
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-25G-SR-MM850-BO into a compatible SFP28 slot on networking equipment while the device is powered according to the vendor’s insertion guidelines. Connect an LC duplex multimode patch cable (suitable for 850 nm operation) between this transceiver and the remote transceiver, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify the host device recognizes the module and, if available, enable or view Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) to monitor operating parameters such as optical power and temperature. Follow the equipment manufacturer’s recommendations for hot-plugging and handling static-sensitive parts.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber patch cords for best performance at 25 Gbit/s up to the specified 100 m reach, and ensure both ends use compatible SFP28 multimode transceivers. Confirm that the host hardware and firmware support third-party SFP28 modules and DDM/DOM if remote monitoring is required.
