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

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ER-LO-BO is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed network links with a maximum data transfer rate of 25,000 Mbit/s. With an SFP28 interface and compact form factor, this module is intended for use in data centres, enterprise switches and routers where reliable long-reach optical connectivity is required. The module's weight is approximately 40 g, making it suitable for dense port deployments.

Advantages

The SFP28-25G-ER-LO-BO supports 25G data rates over single-mode fiber using an industry-standard SFP28 connector, enabling backwards compatibility with equipment that accepts SFP28 modules. Its compact design reduces space consumption in chassis-based systems while providing stable optical performance for extended link distances. Low weight and standardized interface simplify installation and replacement in mixed-vendor environments.

Suitable for

• 25G long-reach single-mode fiber links in data centres
• High-performance uplinks between switches and aggregation devices
• Enterprise and service-provider backbone connections
• Network equipment that requires SFP28 form-factor transceivers

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP28
• Maximum data transfer rate: 25000 Mbit/s (25 Gbps)
• Optical medium: single-mode fiber (long-reach)
• Form factor: SFP28 compact transceiver
• Weight: approximately 0.04 kg

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ER-LO-BO by inserting the module into a compatible SFP28 slot on the switch, router or transceiver cage until it seats securely. Connect appropriate single-mode fiber patch cords to the module's optical interface, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status and configure port speed and duplex settings on the host device according to network design and vendor recommendations. Handle the module by the body and use protective caps when not connected to prevent contamination.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber rated for long-reach connections and ensure optical budget and link loss calculations match the 25G ER specifications. Maintain clean fiber connectors and follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions during handling and installation.
