SFP28 transceiver module BlueOptics BO04Q33610D-BO 25000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics BO04Q33610D-BO SFP28 transceiver module is a compact 25G optical pluggable module designed for single-mode fiber links. Supporting a maximum data transfer rate of 25000 Mbit/s, the module comes in a durable metal housing with a silver finish and weighs approximately 20 g. It implements the 25GBASE-BX-D physical interface with LC Simplex connectors and separate transmitter (1270 nm) and receiver (1330 nm) wavelengths to enable bidirectional transmission over a single fiber. The transceiver is compliant with MSA electrical and mechanical specifications and includes digital diagnostic monitoring for real-time link parameters.

Advantages

The module offers high data throughput up to 25 Gbit/s combined with a compact SFP28 form factor, enabling high-density port deployment in switches, routers and storage systems. A robust metal housing contributes to mechanical stability and thermal performance while the lightweight design simplifies handling and installation. With a reported MTBF of 1,000,000 hours and the use of industry-grade components, the transceiver provides stable operation and long service life. Support for Digital Diagnostic Monitoring facilitates remote status checks of voltage, temperature, laser bias current and optical power.

Suitable for

• 25G Ethernet uplinks and aggregation ports
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data centers

How to use

Insert the SFP28 transceiver into a compatible SFP28 port on a switch, router or network interface card until it latches. Connect an LC Simplex single-mode patch cable, ensuring correct orientation for the bidirectional wavelengths. Verify that the host device officially supports the BlueOptics BO04Q33610D-BO or compatible SFP28 modules and that any necessary firmware or software settings are applied. Use the host management interface to confirm link status and, if available, read DDM parameters to check voltage, temperature, transmit power and receive power for proper operation.

Recommendations

Ensure the transceiver and host hardware support Digital Diagnostic Monitoring to enable remote diagnostics. For optimal performance, use single-mode LC Simplex fiber and minimize connector contamination by keeping dust caps in place until installation and cleaning connectors with appropriate tools before mating. If interoperability issues occur, verify host compatibility and consider testing a sample module in the target hardware and firmware environment prior to large deployments.
