SFP28 transceiver module BlueOptics AFBR-725TMZ-BC-BO 25000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics AFBR-725TMZ-BC-BO is an SFP28 transceiver module designed for 25 Gbps fiber-optic links. With an SFP28 form factor and a compact silver housing, this module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 25000 Mbit/s and is intended for integration into compatible network switches, servers and routers. It is tested for long-term reliability with an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours and complies with CE, FCC and RoHS standards. The transceiver's lightweight construction (approximately 20 g) simplifies handling and installation in dense networking environments.

Advantages

The module combines the high throughput of 25 Gbit/s connectivity with the small SFP28 form factor, enabling dense port configurations without sacrificing performance. Compliance with common regulatory standards ensures compatibility with many enterprise and carrier network infrastructures. Its rated MTBF provides a quantifiable measure of reliability for planning and maintenance. The silver metal housing offers physical protection while keeping weight and dimensions suitable for hot-pluggable applications.

Suitable for

• High-speed 25 Gbit/s uplinks and server connections
• Data center switch-to-switch or switch-to-server fiber links
• Converged network environments requiring compact SFP28 transceivers
• Upgrading existing 10 Gbit/s ports to 25 Gbit/s where SFP28 is supported

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible SFP28 cage on a network switch, server NIC or router with the module’s latch mechanism aligned to the port. Connect the appropriate single-mode or multimode fiber optic cable and secure the connector. After physical installation, verify link status and negotiated speed through the host device management interface. Use the manufacturer’s or host device documentation for any firmware or compatibility settings required to enable 25 Gbit/s operation.

Recommendations

Handle the transceiver by the edges, avoid touching the optical interface, and keep dust caps in place until connection. Ensure the host port supports SFP28 and 25 Gbit/s operation; check cable type and optical budget for required link distances. Observe ESD precautions during installation and follow the equipment manufacturer’s guidelines for hot-plugging and firmware compatibility.
