SFP28 transceiver module BlueOptics P18413-B21-BO 25000 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics P18413-B21-BO is an SFP28 transceiver module designed for high-speed short-range fiber links. Supporting a maximum data transfer rate of 25,000 Mbit/s and operating at an 850 nm wavelength, this compact silver module is intended for integration into switches, routers and servers that accept SFP28 form-factor optics. Weighing approximately 20 g, it provides a lightweight option for dense networking environments where space and port density matter.

Advantages

The module supports 25 GbE line rates over multimode fiber at 850 nm, enabling high-throughput connections with low latency. Its SFP28 interface ensures compatibility with devices that accept SFP28 optics, while the small, standardized form factor facilitates easy hot-plug installation and replacement. The lightweight, metalized housing offers stable mechanical alignment and thermal characteristics suitable for rack-mounted equipment and aggregated port panels.

How to use

Install the SFP28 transceiver into a compatible SFP28 port on a switch, router or network adapter while the host device is powered according to the equipment manufacturer’s guidelines for hot-plugging. Connect appropriate multimode fiber patch cords with matching LC connectors and ensure correct fiber type and length for 850 nm short-range operation. Verify link status and speed through the host device management interface and monitor for proper signal levels and error rates after installation.

Recommendations

Use certified multimode fiber and LC patch cords rated for 850 nm transmission and maintain clean connector endfaces to avoid signal degradation. Check device compatibility and firmware support for 25 GbE operation before deployment. For best results in data center environments, follow vendor guidelines on transceiver placement, power budgets and thermal management.
