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

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-CP-BO is a single-port SFP28 fiber optic transceiver module engineered for 25 Gbit/s network links. Designed for use in data centers and enterprise network environments, this module supports high-speed serial data transmission over single-mode fiber using an LC connector. With a maximum reach of 30,000 meters and compatibility with SFP28 ports, the transceiver provides a compact, hot-pluggable solution for extending 25 Gigabit Ethernet connections across long distances.

Advantages

This module delivers a stable 25,000 Mbit/s data rate with long-reach capability up to 30 km, enabling high-bandwidth links between switches, routers and optical equipment. The SFP28 form factor offers backward-compatible physical mounting in many modern ports while keeping power consumption and space requirements low. The LC fiber connector ensures standard interfacing with single-mode fiber patching systems and simplifies deployment in existing fiber plants.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-CP-BO by inserting the module into a compatible SFP28 port on the networking device while the device is powered on or following the vendor's hot‑plug guidance. Connect a single-mode LC fiber patch cable to the transceiver's LC receptacle, ensuring correct polarity and clean end faces. Configure the connected network devices for 25G operation and verify link status and diagnostics using the switch or router management interface.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use single-mode fiber certified for long-reach applications and maintain clean LC connectors. Confirm compatibility with the host device's transceiver compatibility list and update firmware if required. Monitor optical power levels and link diagnostics to detect attenuation or connector contamination early.
