SFP28 Adapter BlueOptics 10506-BO Silver Multi-mode Single-mode

The BlueOptics 10506-BO SFP28 adapter is a compact fiber optic interface designed for high-speed networking. Finished in silver and weighing approximately 110 g, this adapter supports both multi-mode and single-mode fiber connections, enabling flexible deployment in data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunications equipment. The unit is built to fit standard SFP28 ports and to facilitate 25 Gigabit Ethernet links where compatible transceivers and cabling are used.

Advantages

The adapter combines support for multi-mode and single-mode fiber in a single form factor, reducing the need for multiple part types in inventory. Its lightweight construction and standard SFP28 sizing allow easy installation and interchangeability with existing modules. The silver finish provides a neutral appearance for rack-mounted equipment and the device is intended for stable, low-latency optical connections when paired with appropriate transceivers and patching.

Suitable for

• 25 Gigabit Ethernet connections in data centers and server rooms
• Fiber uplinks between switches and routers supporting SFP28
• Environments requiring both multi-mode and single-mode compatibility
• Network equipment maintenance and module replacement tasks

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28-compatible adapter
• Fiber types supported: multi-mode and single-mode
• Color/finish: silver
• Approximate weight: 110 g
• Intended data rate: designed for 25 Gbps class links (dependent on transceivers and cabling)

How to use

Insert the adapter into a compatible SFP28 slot following the equipment manufacturer's guidance, taking electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions as needed. Connect suitable multi-mode or single-mode fiber cables to the adapter and ensure that matching transceivers and patch cords are used to support the desired link speed and optical reach. Verify link status through the host device's management interface and perform standard testing with appropriate optical test equipment where required.

Recommendations

Use the adapter with certified SFP28 transceivers and fiber patch cords matched to the selected fiber type. Maintain clean connector endfaces and follow standard fiber handling procedures to ensure optimal signal quality and to minimize insertion loss.
