SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 25G-SFP28-SR-BO Fiber optic SFP28 LC

The BlueOptics 25G-SFP28-SR-BO is a fiber optic SFP28 transceiver module designed for 25G high-speed data transmission over multimode fiber. It uses an LC duplex connector and an 850 nm transmitter/receiver pair to support short-reach 25GBASE-SR links. The module is made of aluminium, weighs 20 g and follows MSA-compliant SFP28 form-factor specifications for straightforward installation in compatible network equipment.

Advantages

This SFP28 transceiver provides support for 25G Ethernet and related high-speed protocols with the electrical and optical interface of the SFP28 form factor. The LC duplex connector and multimode operation enable simultaneous transmit and receive channels on separate fibers. Constructed with an aluminium housing and tested for interoperability, the module offers a compact, hot-pluggable solution for upgrading or expanding switch, router, or storage interfaces while maintaining industry-standard compatibility.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 25G Ethernet links over multimode fiber (up to typical SR distances)
• High-speed server-to-switch or switch-to-switch uplinks
• Data center top-of-rack and aggregation connections
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet and similar high-bandwidth, low-latency applications

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28 (MSA compliant)
• Data rate: 25 Gbps
• Wavelength: 850 nm (TX/RX)
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Optical medium: Multimode fiber
• Housing material and colour: aluminium
• Weight: 0.02 kg

How to use

Install the module into any compatible SFP28 port while the host device is powered according to the equipment manufacturer’s instructions; the transceiver is hot-pluggable on most platforms. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords ensuring correct transmit-to-receive orientation. Verify link status and data rate in the host device management interface. If required, consult the switch or router documentation for any vendor-specific compatibility or firmware considerations before deployment.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode patch cords and, when possible, patch panels rated for 25GBASE-SR to achieve optimal link performance. Confirm that the target hardware supports 25G SFP28 transceivers and check for Digital Diagnostics (DDM/DOM) support if real-time monitoring of optical parameters is needed.
