SFP28 fiber transceiver BlueOptics 25/10G-SR-SFP100M-BO LC 850 nm 25 Gbps 100 m

The BlueOptics 25/10G-SR-SFP100M-BO is an SFP28 multimode fiber transceiver supporting 10G and 25GBASE-SR links. It uses an LC duplex connector and operates at an 850 nm wavelength for short-reach optical links up to 100 m. The module supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) and is designed for standard MSA-compliant 25G/10G SFP28 ports on network equipment.

Advantages

This SFP28 transceiver provides backward compatibility for 10G and native support for 25G transmission, offering a compact SFP28 form factor and an LC duplex interface for easy integration into existing multimode fiber cabling. Built to MSA specifications and populated with components from established manufacturers, the module includes DDM for real-time monitoring and is rated for a long service life with a high MTBF.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This transceiver is intended for multimode fiber and short-reach applications; it is not suitable for single-mode fiber or long-distance links beyond the specified 100 m. Also, full DDM functionality requires that the host device firmware/hardware supports DDM/DOM for this compatible module.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the SFP28 transceiver into a compatible SFP28 or SFP+ port on your switch, router or server following the equipment manufacturer’s hot-swap procedure. Connect LC duplex multimode patch cables to the transmit and receive ports. Ensure the host device is configured for the correct speed (10G or 25G) and that the link partner supports the same mode. If you need monitoring, verify that the host supports DDM/DOM to read voltage, temperature, laser bias current and optical power metrics.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode LC duplex patch cables and, where possible, test the link after installation. Keep firmware of the host device up to date to improve compatibility with third-party SFP28 transceivers and enable DDM features when needed.
