SFP28 transceiver module BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-AL-BO 25000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-AL-BO is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed serial links at 25 Gbit/s. It supports the SFP28 form factor and is intended for use in modern network equipment where compact, hot-pluggable optics are required. With an LC connector interface and a maximum reach of up to 30,000 m over appropriate single-mode fiber, the module addresses long-reach connectivity needs in data centers, enterprise backbone links and metro networks.

Advantages

This SFP28 transceiver delivers a 25,000 Mbit/s line rate in a small SFP28 package, offering compatibility with equipment that accepts SFP28 optics. The LC connector provides a standardized fiber interface for single-mode links, while the long maximum transfer distance enables connections between distant sites without intermediate regeneration. The module’s compact, hot-swappable design reduces downtime during installation or replacement and simplifies upgrades to higher-speed links.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks and aggregation at 25 Gbit/s
• Enterprise campus backbone and inter-building links
• Metro and long-reach single-mode fiber connections
• Applications requiring LC connector single-mode optics

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP28 form factor
• Nominal data rate: 25,000 Mbit/s
• Maximum transfer distance: up to 30,000 m over suitable single-mode fiber
• Connector type: LC

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible SFP28 slot on network switches, routers or media converters while the host device is powered following the vendor’s hot-swap guidelines. Connect single-mode fiber patch cords with LC connectors to the module ports, ensuring correct polarity and using appropriate protective caps during handling. Verify link status and configuration on the host device, and confirm the optics operate at the expected 25 Gbit/s rate. Follow network equipment documentation for SFP28 compatibility and module firmware or compatibility settings if required.

Recommendations

Use low-loss single-mode fiber and clean LC connectors to achieve the specified 30,000 m reach. Observe ESD precautions when handling the transceiver, and store unused modules in protective packaging. Verify compatibility with the host device and check for any vendor-specific settings or transceiver locking features before deployment.
