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

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-IX-BO is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for 25 Gbps links using the SFP28 form factor. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 25000 Mbit/s and is intended for long-reach single-mode fiber connections with an LC duplex connector. The module is suitable for use in data centers, aggregation switches and enterprise network equipment where compact, hot-pluggable 25G optics are required.

Advantages

This SFP28 module provides a high-density, low-power solution for 25 Gbit/s links with a long maximum reach of up to 30,000 m over single-mode fiber. The SFP28 form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of modern switches and routers that accept SFP28 ports. The LC connector offers widespread interoperability with standard duplex fiber cabling.

Suitable for

• 25 Gbps uplinks between switches and routers
• Long-reach fiber connections in campus and metro networks
• Data center server and switch interconnects requiring single-mode optics
• Upgrading existing SFP-based systems to 25G where compatible

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP28 (hot-pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 25000 Mbit/s
• Maximum transfer distance: 30000 m over single-mode fiber
• Fiber connector type: LC duplex
• Optical reach: long-reach single-mode

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28 module into a compatible SFP28 port while the host device is powered on or following the device manufacturer's hot-plugging guidance. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cables to the module's connector, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the host interface for 25 Gbit/s operation if required by the network equipment. Monitor link status through the device management interface to confirm successful negotiation and optical signal presence.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with the target switch or router before installation, including supported optical module types and firmware restrictions. Use clean LC connectors and follow standard fiber handling procedures to avoid contamination and signal loss. For long-distance links, check optical loss budget and connector/splice quality to ensure reliable performance across the specified reach.
