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

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-PT-BO is a fiber optic SFP28 transceiver module engineered for 25 Gbit/s class links. Designed for use in modern networking equipment, it provides a single-lane 25,000 Mbit/s connection via an LC duplex fiber connector and supports extended reach up to 30,000 m over appropriate single-mode fiber. The module follows SFP28 form-factor compatibility and is intended for installations where stable, high-bandwidth optical uplinks are required in data centers and enterprise network environments.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers a consistent 25 Gbit/s throughput with extended reach, allowing connection across long-distance links without additional intermediate amplification. Its LC fiber interface and SFP28 form factor enable straightforward replacement or upgrades in compatible switches and routers. The module's focus on essential optical parameters supports interoperability with standard single-mode fiber infrastructure and helps maintain low-latency, high-bandwidth links for core and aggregation layers.

Suitable for

• 25 Gbit/s uplinks between switches or routers in data centers
• Long-reach single-mode fiber connections up to 30 km
• Enterprise backbone links and aggregation ports
• High-bandwidth optical links for storage and compute clusters

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP28 single-lane optical transceiver
• Maximum data transfer rate: 25000 Mbit/s (25 Gbit/s)
• Maximum optical reach: 30000 m (30 km) over single-mode fiber
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Application: 25G Ethernet and compatible optical protocols

How to use

Install the module into a compatible SFP28 port on a switch, router or network interface card, ensuring the host device supports 25 Gbit/s SFP28 optics. Connect LC-terminated single-mode fiber cables to the module's LC duplex connector, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. After insertion, verify link status and negotiated speed via the host device management interface. Follow standard ESD precautions when handling the transceiver and keep protective dust caps on the optical ports when not in use.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber rated for 30 km links and verify end-to-end optical loss budget before deployment. Ensure the host device firmware and compatibility lists include support for SFP28 modules. For reliable long-reach operation, keep connectors clean and perform periodic inspection and testing of optical power and BER where applicable.
