SFP28 transceiver module BlueOptics AFBR-735TMZ-BO 25000 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics AFBR-735TMZ-BO is an SFP28 transceiver module for multimode fiber networks, supporting data rates up to 25,000 Mbit/s and operating at an 850 nm wavelength. Designed in a compact SFP28 form factor with an LC duplex connector and a specified maximum reach of 100 m, this module provides a reliable optical interface for switches, routers and other network devices. The module complies with CE, FCC and RoHS standards and has an MTBF of 3,000,000 hours.

Advantages

The transceiver supports both transmit and receive functions at 850 nm and follows MSA SFP28 form-factor conventions, enabling broad hardware compatibility when used with platforms that accept SFP28 modules. Built with components from established optical and IC manufacturers, it incorporates Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with SFF-8472 for real-time monitoring of voltage, temperature and optical power. The silver-coloured, compact design and LC duplex connector simplify installation in dense equipment racks and fiber patching environments.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch connections within data centres and server rooms
• Short-reach aggregation links in campus and enterprise networks
• Storage area network (SAN) uplinks and interconnects
• Replacement or upgrade of existing SFP/SFP28 ports supporting multimode fiber

• Compliance: CE, FCC, RoHS
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): 3,000,000 hours

How to use

Insert the SFP28 transceiver into an SFP28-capable port on the host device until it latches. Connect an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable matching the transceiver endfaces and verify that the host recognizes the module and, if applicable, enables Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) in the device management interface. Ensure both ends of the link use compatible multimode transceivers and that transmit/receive pairs are correctly connected. Follow the host vendor’s hot-swap and ESD handling procedures when installing or removing the module.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber for best performance at 25 Gbit/s over short reaches, and verify DDM support on the host for remote diagnostics. Keep connectors clean and store the module with dust caps when unused to maintain signal quality and reduce the risk of damage.
