SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-NA-BO 25000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-NA-BO is a fiber optic SFP transceiver module engineered for 25 Gbit/s data links. It uses an SFP28 interface and supports high-speed serial transmission over single-mode fiber, providing a compact, hot-pluggable solution for modern switches, routers and optical line cards. The module is intended for deployments that require stable 25 Gbit/s connectivity across extended reach links.

Advantages

This SFP28 module offers a compact SFP28 form factor compatible with standard ports, high data throughput up to 25000 Mbit/s and long-reach single-mode operation suitable for metro and data center interconnects. Its hot-pluggable design simplifies installation and replacement without powering down equipment, while the single-mode fiber capability supports lower attenuation and greater link distances compared with multimode alternatives.

Suitable for

• Data center 25 Gbit/s uplinks and spine/leaf fabrics
• Enterprise backbone connections and server aggregation
• Metro and long-reach single-mode fiber links
• Optical switches, routers and line cards with SFP28 ports

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28 (hot-pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 25000 Mbit/s
• Medium: single-mode fiber
• Typical application: 25 Gbit/s optical transmission

How to use

Insert the SFP28 module into a compatible SFP28 slot on a switch, router or server NIC with the connector latch aligned. Use appropriate single-mode fiber patch cords and ensure correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status through the host device management interface and confirm negotiated speed. Follow device vendor guidelines for ESD precautions and safe handling to avoid damaging the optical interface.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use single-mode LC-terminated fiber patch cords of suitable quality, maintain clean connector endfaces, and perform endface inspection before insertion. Monitor link statistics after installation and follow system vendor recommendations for firmware and compatibility lists when deploying the module in production networks.
