SFP28 transceiver module BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ER-IB-BO 25000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ER-IB-BO is a fiber optic transceiver module engineered for 25 Gbit/s Ethernet links. It uses an SFP28 interface and is designed for use in compatible switches, routers and host adapters that accept SFP28 form-factor modules. With a compact design and a weight of 40 g, the module supports high-speed data transmission over single-mode fiber in long-reach scenarios where 25 Gbit/s performance is required.

Advantages

The module provides a standardized SFP28 form factor for simple hot-plug installation and interoperability with equipment supporting SFP28 ports. It delivers a 25000 Mbit/s line rate suitable for modern data center uplinks and enterprise aggregation. Its small, lightweight design reduces space and weight impact in dense networking racks while maintaining consistent signal performance for long-distance fiber links.

Suitable for

• 25 Gbit/s Ethernet uplinks in data centers
• Long-reach single-mode fiber connections between network equipment
• Aggregation links in enterprise and service provider networks
• Upgrading SFP28-capable switches and routers to 25G connectivity

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP28
• Maximum data transfer rate: 25000 Mbit/s (25 Gbit/s)
• Media type: single-mode fiber (long-reach applications)
• Form factor: SFP28 hot-pluggable transceiver
• Weight: 0.04 kg

How to use

Install the module into an empty SFP28 slot on a compatible switch, router or network interface card while the host device is powered according to the equipment vendor’s instructions for hot-plug transceivers. Connect single-mode fiber patch cords to the transceiver ports and verify link status through the host device management interface. Configure the connected equipment for 25 Gbit/s operation and validate link parameters such as wavelength, optical power and diagnostics as required.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode fiber and suitable connectors to achieve the specified 25 Gbit/s performance. Ensure compatibility with the host device by checking supported transceiver types and firmware requirements. Observe electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the transceiver and protect the optical interfaces with dust caps when not in use.
