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

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-IA-BO is an SFP28 fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-port 25 Gbit/s links in data center, carrier and enterprise networks. Supporting a maximum data transfer rate of 25000 Mbit/s and a maximum optical reach of up to 30,000 meters, the module uses a standard LC fiber connector and fits SFP28 slots for compatibility with modern switches, routers and optical transport equipment. The compact transceiver supports long-reach multimode or single-mode links where extended distance and stable throughput are required.

Advantages

This SFP28 transceiver provides high-speed 25 Gbit/s performance with a long reach of up to 30 km, enabling extended fiber links without intermediate regeneration. The LC connector ensures broad compatibility with existing fiber patching and cabling infrastructure. Its SFP28 form factor delivers a hot-pluggable, low-profile solution that is suitable for dense rack deployments and simplifies upgrades from lower-rate interfaces.

Suitable for

• 25 Gbit/s uplinks between switches and aggregation devices
• Long-distance fiber connections in metro and carrier networks
• Data center links requiring single-port high throughput
• Fiber backbone segments and campus interconnects

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP28 form factor compatible with standard SFP28 ports
• Maximum data transfer rate: 25000 Mbit/s (25 Gbit/s)
• Maximum transfer distance: up to 30,000 m (30 km) over appropriate fiber
• Fiber connector type: LC duplex
• Application: long-reach optical links for single-mode fiber

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-IA-BO into a compatible SFP28 slot on the network device while the device is powered according to manufacturer guidelines for hot-pluggable transceivers. Connect LC-terminated single-mode fiber patch cords to the module’s LC duplex port, observing correct transmit/receive alignment. Configure the network device ports as required for 25 Gbit/s operation and verify link status using the device’s management interface. Ensure fiber connectors and adapters are clean to maintain signal quality.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber rated for long-distance transmission and LC duplex connectors to achieve the specified reach. Confirm compatibility with the host device firmware and port capabilities before deployment. Maintain clean patching and strain-relief practices and monitor link parameters to ensure stable 25 Gbit/s operation.
