SFP28 Transceiver BlueOptics XS+85LC01D LC-Duplex 10G/25GBASE-SR 850nm Multimode 100m with DDM

Compact SFP28 optical transceiver BlueOptics XS+85LC01D LC-Duplex 10G/25GBASE-SR 850nm Multimode 100m with DDM is designed for short-reach multimode fiber links in data centers and enterprise networks. The module supports both 10G and 25GBASE-SR operation at an 850 nm wavelength, uses an LC-duplex connector and delivers reliable transmission over distances up to 100 meters on suitable multimode fiber. Built-in Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) provides real-time output power, input power, temperature and supply voltage measurements. The transceiver is intended for installation in SFP28 ports on switches, servers and network interface cards and operates in a standard commercial temperature range.

Advantages

The SFP28 form factor offers a space- and power-efficient solution for high-density equipment. Support for both 10G and 25GBASE-SR modes increases compatibility with existing 10G infrastructure and enables migration to 25G where supported. LC-duplex connectivity and multimode optics simplify cabling in short-reach links while the 850 nm wavelength provides cost-effective, standardized short-range performance. Integrated DDM allows monitoring of key operating parameters for improved maintenance and troubleshooting. Operation within a commercial temperature range makes the module suitable for typical data center and enterprise environments.

How to use

Insert the transceiver into a compatible SFP28 port on a switch, server or network interface card following the host device manufacturer’s guidance. Connect LC-duplex multimode fiber patch cables to the module ensuring correct transmit/receive alignment. Verify link status on the host device and use the DDM functions to check optical power levels and module temperature if supported by the hardware and management software. When removing the module, power down or follow hot-swap instructions from the equipment vendor if required, and protect the transceiver and fiber ends with dust caps when not in use.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber to achieve the specified reach and maintain link margin. Ensure host equipment supports SFP28 modules and 25GBASE-SR operation for full functionality. Keep connectors and transceiver endfaces clean to avoid signal loss and follow ESD precautions during installation.
