SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-10/25G-SR-BO Fiber optic SFP28 LC

The BlueOptics SFP-10/25G-SR-BO is a fiber optic SFP28 transceiver module designed for high-speed short-range connections. It supports 10G and 25G Ethernet data rates over multimode fiber and uses an LC duplex connector in a lightweight aluminium housing weighing approximately 20 g. The module implements 850 nm transmitter and receiver wavelengths for 10G/25GBASE-SR applications and is engineered to meet MSA form-factor and interoperability expectations for use in modern network equipment.

Advantages

This SFP28 transceiver provides dual-rate support for 10G and 25G links, enabling flexible deployment in mixed-speed environments. The LC duplex connector and multimode 850 nm optics permit short-range links of up to 100 meters. Constructed with an aluminium housing and designed according to MSA standards, the module offers a compact, low-weight option that is compatible with devices that accept SFP28 10G/25GBASE-SR optics. The transceiver also supports common diagnostic functions defined by SFF-8472 when the host device implements Digital Diagnostics Monitoring.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-10/25G-SR-BO by inserting the module into a compatible SFP28 slot on a switch, router or host adapter until it latches. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the host port for the required data rate (10G or 25G) according to the equipment manufacturer’s instructions. If the host supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM), enable monitoring to read real-time parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit output power, received input power, and temperature for link troubleshooting.

Recommendations

Use high-quality OM3/OM4 multimode fiber patch cords and maintain proper patch panel cleanliness to achieve the specified 100 m range. Verify host compatibility with SFP28 10G/25GBASE-SR optics before deployment and ensure firmware or driver settings allow third-party transceivers where applicable. For reliable long-term operation, avoid mechanical stress on fiber connectors and follow ESD precautions when handling the module.
