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

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-DE-BO is a single-port SFP28 fiber optic transceiver module engineered for high-speed 25 Gbps links. Designed for use in data center, aggregation and carrier networks, it provides a 25,000 Mbit/s line rate over single-mode fiber to support long-reach connections up to 30,000 metres. The module uses an LC duplex optical connector and an SFP28 form factor for compatibility with switches, routers and media converters that accept SFP28 ports.

Advantages

This transceiver delivers 25 Gbit/s performance in a compact SFP28 package while supporting extended reach for long-haul optical links. The LC connector and single-mode operation minimise insertion loss and enable stable transmission over long distances. Its standardized SFP28 interface ensures broad interoperability with networking equipment from multiple vendors and simplifies upgrades from 10G to 25G links without major infrastructure changes.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• 25G uplinks between switches in data center spine-and-leaf architectures
• Long-distance single-mode connections between sites or buildings
• High-performance links for carrier and metro aggregation networks
• Upgrading existing SFP/SFP28 ports to 25 Gbit/s capacity

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP28 form factor, electrical SFP28 compatible
• Maximum data transfer rate: 25,000 Mbit/s (25 Gbit/s)
• Optical reach: up to 30,000 m on single-mode fiber
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Fiber type: single-mode

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28 module into an available SFP28 port on a compatible switch, router or media converter while the device is powered down or following the vendor's hot-swap guidelines. Insert LC-terminated single-mode fiber patch cables into the module's LC ports, observing transmit/receive orientation. Configure the host interface for 25G operation if required in the equipment management interface; some systems will auto-negotiate to the correct speed. Verify link status and diagnostics through the host device's management console.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC patch cords of appropriate attenuation and maintain clean connector endfaces to ensure expected reach and signal quality. Check compatibility with your switch or router vendor for supported SFP28 modules and enable any required firmware or port settings for 25G operation. For long-distance links, plan fiber route, splices and amplifiers as needed to maintain signal budget over the 30 km span.
