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

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ER-PA-BO is a fiber optic transceiver module for 25 Gbit/s links, designed to deliver high-speed data transfer over extended distances. With an SFP28 interface and a compact, lightweight form factor (approx. 40 g), this module is suitable for use in data center switches, aggregation devices and enterprise network equipment that require reliable long-reach optical connectivity.

Advantages

This SFP28 transceiver supports a 25,000 Mbit/s nominal data rate and is engineered for stable operation over long fiber spans. The small SFP28 footprint saves port space and allows easy hot-pluggable installation. Its lightweight construction reduces mechanical load on ports while maintaining compatibility with standard SFP28 cages and DOM/monitoring systems where supported. The design focuses on interoperability with a wide range of network hardware that accepts standard optical modules.

Suitable for

• Long-reach backbone links in data centers and campus networks
• Aggregation and distribution layers in enterprise networks
• Inter-device connections requiring 25 Gbit/s throughput
• Environments where compact, hot-pluggable optical modules are needed

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP28
• Maximum data transfer rate: 25000 Mbit/s (25 Gbit/s)
• Form factor: SFP28 serial small form-factor pluggable
• Weight: approximately 0.04 kg
• Optical medium: single-mode fiber compatible (long-reach optics)
• Hot-pluggable module design for in-service installation and replacement

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ER-PA-BO into a compatible SFP28 port on the network switch or optical transceiver slot until it latches. Connect the appropriate single-mode fiber cable to the module’s optical interface, observing correct polarity. Verify link status and negotiate speed and duplex according to the host device configuration. Monitor link health and diagnostics via the host device or module monitoring features if supported.

Recommendations

Install and remove the transceiver only when required, and follow ESD protection procedures. Use single-mode fiber and appropriate connectors for long-reach links; ensure fiber cleanliness to maintain signal integrity. Verify compatibility with the host device and firmware versions prior to deployment to ensure proper operation at 25 Gbit/s.
