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

The BlueOptics SFP-25G-LR-AL-BO is a fiber optic SFP28 transceiver module designed for high-speed single-mode links. It uses an LC duplex connector and an aluminum housing, and it supports 25GBASE-LR optical transmission over single-mode fiber. The module integrates transmitter and receiver elements operating at 1310 nm and is intended for use in networking equipment that accepts SFP28 form-factor transceivers.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a compact SFP28 form factor with an LC interface and an aluminum casing that contributes to physical durability and thermal conduction. Designed for 25 Gbit/s data rates, it supports long-reach single-mode connections and includes digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) functionality when supported by host hardware. Its lightweight construction (approx. 20 g) and MSA-compliant design facilitate straightforward installation and interoperability with compatible network ports.

Suitable for

• 25G data center uplinks and switch-to-switch connections
• High-performance routing and switching platforms supporting SFP28
• Long-reach single-mode fiber links up to the supported LR distance
• Storage and server interconnects requiring 25G optical interfaces

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28 (SFP28-compatible transceiver)
• Data rate: 25 Gbit/s (25GBASE-LR application)
• Optical wavelength: 1310 nm for transmitter and receiver
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Fiber type: Single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Housing material: Aluminium (aluminum finish)
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Digital diagnostics: DDM/DOM support (requires host support)

How to use

Install the SFP-25G-LR-AL-BO into an empty SFP28 slot on a compatible switch, router or network device until it clicks into place. Connect an LC duplex single-mode patch cable to the transceiver and the remote transceiver or patch panel, ensuring correct polarity. Verify that the host device recognizes the module and that the link LED indicates an active connection. If available and enabled by the host, use the digital diagnostic interface to monitor voltage, temperature, transmit/receive power, and laser bias current for ongoing maintenance and troubleshooting.
