SFP28 transceiver module BlueOptics BO27O13610D 25000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics BO27O13610D SFP28 transceiver module is a compact optical pluggable unit designed for high-speed single-mode fiber links. It supports data rates up to 25000 Mbit/s and uses an LC duplex connector. The module is RoHS and CE compliant, has a nickel-coloured housing and a lightweight design of approximately 20 g. It is built to the SFP28 MSA form factor and is compatible with Cisco SFP-10/25G-LR-S ports when the host platform supports third-party SFP28 modules.

Advantages

The module offers 25 Gbit/s-capable SFP28 performance in a small, hot-pluggable transceiver format suitable for server, switch and router uplinks. Its LC duplex interface and single-mode 1310 nm transmitter/receiver pair enable long-reach optical links, while compliance with MSA mechanical and electrical specifications supports interoperability across vendor hardware. The module’s RoHS and CE conformity and lightweight nickel housing make it suitable for dense data center environments and systematic deployment.

Suitable for

• 10G/25GBASE-LR single-mode fiber uplinks
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch optical connections
• High-bandwidth links in data centers and campus networks
• Environments requiring MSA-compliant, hot-pluggable transceivers

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP28 (MSA compliant)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 25000 Mbit/s
• Connector: LC duplex
• Wavelength (typical): 1310 nm (transmit and receive)
• Target medium: single-mode fiber
• Typical reach: up to 10 km (depends on fiber and link budget)
• Housing colour: nickel
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg
• Standards compliance: RoHS, CE

How to use

Insert the SFP28 module into a compatible SFP28 slot on switches, routers or network interface cards while the host device is powered according to the vendor’s instructions for hot-pluggable modules. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords to the module’s ports, ensuring correct Tx/Rx orientation on both ends. Verify link status and speed in the host device management interface and confirm that the platform supports the module or third-party transceivers. If the host supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM), enable and monitor available diagnostics such as optical power and temperature where supported.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode LC duplex patch cords and follow proper fiber handling practices to maintain link quality. Confirm compatibility with the specific switch or router model before deployment and, if possible, test the module in a lab environment prior to production use. For longer lifetimes and stable performance, install the module in clean ports and avoid excessive insertion/removal cycles.
