SFP transceiver module BlueOptics FA-XR2-25G-ETH-SFP-SR-BO 25000 Mbit/s SFP28 850 nm

The BlueOptics FA-XR2-25G-ETH-SFP-SR-BO is a fiber optic SFP28 transceiver module designed for 25 Gbit/s Ethernet links over multimode fiber. Operating at an 850 nm wavelength, this compact module supports high-speed short-reach connections in data centers, enterprise networks and aggregation equipment. The module is compact and lightweight, suitable for hot-pluggable bays and SFP28-compatible interfaces.

Advantages

This SFP28 transceiver provides reliable 25 Gbit/s throughput with low power consumption and a small form factor suitable for dense switch and server deployments. The 850 nm wavelength supports standard multimode fiber systems for short-range links, while the hot-pluggable SFP28 interface simplifies installation and replacement without powering down equipment. The module’s light weight makes it compatible with typical port trays and high-port-count networking devices.

Suitable for

• 25 G Ethernet short-reach connections in data centers
• Server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links over multimode fiber
• Aggregation and access layer uplinks in enterprise networks

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP28 (25 G form factor)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 25 000 Mbit/s (25 Gbit/s)
• Wavelength: 850 nm for multimode fiber
• Reach: designed for short-reach multimode links (short-range)
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg

How to use

Insert the module into an SFP28-compatible port following the host equipment manufacturer’s hot-plug procedure. Ensure the connected fiber uses appropriate multimode patch cords and that transceiver ends are clean before mating. Configure the network interface on the host device for 25 Gbit/s operation if necessary and verify link status through the management interface or indicator LEDs. Follow standard ESD precautions during handling and installation.

Recommendations

Use this transceiver with compatible SFP28 ports and multimode fiber (OM3/OM4 recommended for optimal short-reach performance). Keep connector endfaces clean, store unused modules in protective caps, and consult equipment compatibility lists if interoperability concerns arise.
