SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ER-CN-BO 25000 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ER-CN-BO is an SFP28 fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed singlemode links with a maximum data rate of 25 Gbit/s. Operating at a wavelength of 1310 nm, the module comes in a robust metal housing, complies with RoHS standards and uses a 3.3 V supply. With a compact form factor, SFP28 interface and LC duplex optical connector compatibility, it is suitable for modern network equipment that supports 25GBASE-ER optical links.

Advantages

The module provides a standardized SFP28 form factor for wide interoperability and supports up to 25 Gbit/s data throughput over singlemode fiber at 1310 nm. Its metal housing improves mechanical durability and thermal dissipation while the low weight simplifies handling and installation. Compliance with RoHS ensures restricted hazardous substances, and the common 3.3 V power requirement matches typical transceiver power rails in networking gear.

Suitable for

• 25GBASE-ER singlemode uplinks between switches and routers
• High-speed server interconnects and storage networking
• Long-reach campus or data center backbone links using LC duplex connectors
• Replacement or upgrade of compatible SFP28 ports in network appliances

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ER-CN-BO into an empty SFP28 port on a compatible switch, router or network appliance while the device is powered down or following the vendor’s hot-swap instructions. Connect a singlemode LC duplex patch cable to the transceiver and the remote transceiver. Verify link status and configuration in the host device’s interface settings and ensure the port is set to the appropriate 25G mode and optical parameters. If the host supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM), enable or check diagnostic readings through the device management console to monitor optical power and module health.

Recommendations

Use certified singlemode LC duplex fiber and maintain proper bend radii to ensure link quality. Confirm compatibility with the target hardware platform and, when possible, test the module in a lab environment prior to deployment. For monitoring and troubleshooting, rely on the DDM/DOM readings if supported by your hardware and management software.
