SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP28-25G-LR-QL-BO 25000 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-LR-QL-BO is a single-mode fiber optic SFP28 transceiver module engineered for 25 Gbit/s data transmission over distances up to 10 km. The module operates at a 1310 nm wavelength, uses an LC duplex connector and fits SFP28 interfaces. Encased in a metal housing and powered by a 3.3 V supply, it combines compact dimensions and a lightweight design for straightforward insertion into compatible network equipment.

Advantages

This SFP28 transceiver supports 25GBASE-LR optical links and is designed to meet MSA-compliant form factor and interface requirements. It offers simultaneous transmit and receive capability via LC duplex single-mode fiber and includes digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) support for real-time parameter readout where the host hardware supports it. The metal housing provides mechanical durability while the small physical footprint and low weight simplify installation and rack-side handling.

Suitable for

• 25 Gbit/s Ethernet backbone links between switches and routers
• Long-reach server, storage and aggregation interconnects up to 10 km
• Data center uplinks and high-performance computing fabrics
• Fiber channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET applications requiring single-mode links

How to use

Handle the transceiver by its housing and avoid touching the optical connector faces. Before installation, verify compatibility with the host device and confirm that the port supports 25G SFP28 modules and DDM/DOM if monitoring is required. Insert the transceiver into the SFP28 slot until it clicks into place and secure any latch or retention mechanism. Connect LC duplex single-mode patch cords with proper polarity; observe bend-radius and cleanliness guidelines for fiber cables. On removal, release the latch and pull the module straight out to avoid damaging the port.

Recommendations

For reliable optical performance, use certified single-mode fiber patch cords, keep connector endfaces clean, and enable DDM/DOM support in the host system for remote diagnostics where available. Ensure firmware or driver support for third-party SFP28 modules in your networking equipment to maintain full functionality.
