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

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-GM-BO is an SFP28 fiber optic transceiver module engineered for 25 Gbit/s Ethernet links. Designed for network media converters, switches and routers that accept SFP28 form-factor modules, this transceiver supports high-speed, single-lane 25 Gigabit data transmission over single-mode fiber using an LC connector. The module is intended for deployments that require long-reach connectivity up to 30,000 meters, providing a compact, hot-pluggable solution for data centers and enterprise networks.

Advantages

This transceiver offers a maximum data transfer rate of 25,000 Mbit/s and long-reach capability to 30 km over single-mode fiber, enabling bandwidth-hungry applications and extended link distances without intermediate amplification. The SFP28 form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of modern networking equipment while keeping power consumption and physical footprint low. Use of the LC duplex connector provides a standardized optical interface for reliable and easy integration.
