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

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-CO-BO is a single-port SFP28 fiber optic transceiver module engineered for high-speed 25 Gbps Ethernet links. Designed for long-reach connections, this module supports data transmission over single-mode fiber with an LC connector and is intended for installation in compatible SFP28 ports on switches, routers and network equipment. Its compact SFP28 form factor and industry-standard interface ensure interoperability with modern networking hardware that requires 25G links over extended distances.

Advantages

This transceiver offers a clear technical profile: support for a 25000 Mbit/s data rate and a long maximum reach up to 30 000 m, making it suitable for metropolitan and long-haul single-mode fiber segments. The LC fiber connector provides a stable physical link and broad compatibility with existing fiber cabling. The SFP28 form factor delivers a compact, hot-pluggable solution that simplifies upgrades to 25G infrastructure without replacing host devices.

Suitable for

• 25G backbone links between data centers and aggregation nodes
• Long-distance single-mode fiber connections in campus and metro networks
• Upgrading existing SFP/SFP+ installations to 25G-capable ports where compatible
• High-throughput uplinks for routers and switches requiring LC interfaces

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP28 hot-pluggable form factor
• Maximum data transfer rate: 25000 Mbit/s
• Maximum transfer distance: up to 30 000 m over single-mode fiber
• Fiber connector type: LC duplex
• Optical link type: single-mode fiber, long reach

How to use

Insert the SFP28 module into a compatible SFP28 port on the host device while the device is powered on or following the manufacturer's hot-swap guidance. Connect a single-mode LC duplex fiber patch cable between the module and the remote transceiver. Configure the host interface for 25G operation if required by the network equipment software; check link status LEDs and management interfaces to verify an active connection. Follow proper fiber handling and ESD precautions during installation to avoid damage.

Recommendations

Use this module with single-mode LC patch cables and ensure both ends of the link support 25G operation and long-reach optics. Verify optical budget and link loss for distances approaching the module's maximum range, and keep transceiver firmware and host device drivers updated for optimal interoperability.
