SFP28 transceiver module BlueOptics C5M6G-BO 25000 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics C5M6G-BO is an SFP28 transceiver module designed for high-speed multimode fiber optic networks. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 25,000 Mbit/s at an 850 nm wavelength and uses an LC duplex connector in a compact SFP28 form factor. The module is built to industry MSA standards and offers a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 3,000,000 hours. Compliance with CE, FCC and RoHS standards ensures regulatory conformity for professional networking environments.

Advantages

The BlueOptics C5M6G-BO provides 25GBASE-SR performance over multimode fiber with simultaneous transmit and receive channels at 850 nm, enabling full-duplex optical links via LC duplex interfaces. Its SFP28 form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of hardware platforms such as switches, routers and storage systems that accept 25G SFP28 transceivers. Tested for interoperability and manufactured using established optical and IC components, the module is designed for long service life and stable operation in data centre and enterprise networks.

How to use

Install the C5M6G-BO into any compatible SFP28 slot following the host equipment manufacturer’s hot-plug and handling guidelines. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cables to the transceiver ensuring correct orientation of transmit and receive channels. Configure the host interface for 25G operation if required and verify link status through the switch or router management interface. If the host supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable and monitor the transceiver parameters such as optical power, temperature and supply voltage for ongoing health checks.

Recommendations

Use multimode OM3/OM4 patch cords for reliable 25GBASE-SR performance up to the specified distance. Ensure firmware or driver compatibility with the host device and verify that the DDM/DOM function is supported by the equipment if remote diagnostics are needed. Handle the module according to ESD precautions and keep dust caps on unused fiber connectors to maintain optical performance.
