SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 25G-LR-SFP10KM-BO 25000 Mbit/s SFP28

The BlueOptics 25G-LR-SFP10KM-BO is an SFP28 transceiver module engineered for 25 Gbit/s network links. Housed in a compact SFP28 form factor and finished in silver, this module supports single-mode fiber connections with an LC connector and is specified for reliable transmission up to 10,000 meters. With a rated MTBF of 1,000,000 hours and a lightweight build of 20 grams, it is suitable for dense networking environments where space, reliability and consistent 25G performance are required.

Advantages

The module provides a standardized SFP28 interface that simplifies integration into existing switches and routers that accept hot-pluggable transceivers. Support for 25 Gbit/s data throughput combined with single-mode LC connectivity enables longer reach compared with multimode solutions. Its compact size and low weight reduce space and power constraints in rack-mounted or blade systems, while the high MTBF indicates a design focused on continuous operation and reduced maintenance interventions.

Suitable for

• High-speed uplinks and aggregation links in data centers
• Long-reach connections between network closets or buildings up to 10 km
• Upgrading 25G-capable switches, routers and media converters
• Environments requiring LC single-mode fiber terminations

Key specifications

• Maximum data transfer rate: 25000 Mbit/s
• Maximum transfer distance: 10000 m (single-mode fiber)
• Form factor: SFP28 (hot-pluggable)
• Fiber connector type: LC
• Interface type: compatible with 25 Gigabit Ethernet ports
• Color: silver
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Insert the SFP28 transceiver into an appropriate 25G-capable SFP28 slot on a certified switch, router or media converter while the host port is powered down or following the host system's hot-swap procedure. Connect single-mode fiber with LC connectors to the module's duplex LC port, ensuring correct polarity and proper fiber handling to avoid bending losses. Configure the host interface for 25 Gbit/s operation if required by the device; many systems will auto-negotiate or allow manual selection of the 25G link speed. Monitor link status indicators on the host device to confirm an active connection.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber rated for long-reach applications and maintain clean LC connector endfaces to ensure optimal performance. Verify compatibility with the host device's SFP28 slot and firmware, and observe electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the transceiver. For installations near the maximum range, allow for link margin and verify optical power budgets with appropriate test equipment.
