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

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-SW-BO is a single-lane fiber optic transceiver module engineered for 25 Gbit/s Ethernet links. With an SFP28 interface and support for a 25000 Mbit/s data rate, the module is suitable for high-density switch and router ports in data centers and enterprise network environments. The compact SFP28 form factor enables straightforward hot-pluggable upgrades and replacements without altering existing rack layout.

Advantages

The module delivers a standardized SFP28 plug-and-play interface that simplifies installation and interoperability with equipment that supports 25G SFP28 ports. Built for optical transmission, it provides stable high-speed connectivity and is suitable for long-reach deployments depending on fiber and optics used. Its small form factor and rated data throughput support consolidation of high-performance links while minimizing port space and power consumption.

Suitable for

• 25G Ethernet uplinks in data centers and colocation facilities
• High-performance server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links
• Enterprise aggregation and distribution layers
• Optical network upgrades where SFP28 compatibility is required

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP28
• Maximum data transfer rate: 25000 Mbit/s (25 Gbit/s)
• Form factor: SFP28 small form factor pluggable
• Optical medium: single-mode or multimode fiber compatibility depends on specific optical variant and fiber cabling
• Hot-pluggable design for in-service replacements and upgrades

How to use

Insert the SFP28 transceiver into a compatible SFP28 port on a switch, router or network adapter while the host device is powered according to the manufacturer's instructions. Connect the appropriate fiber optic cable to the transceiver's optical connector, ensuring correct fiber type and connector polarity. After physical installation, verify link status and speed through the host device management interface and ensure proper configuration for 25G operation.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use fiber cabling and optical connectors that match the transceiver's supported reach and wavelength. Observe ESD precautions during handling, avoid excessive bending of fiber cables, and confirm firmware or driver compatibility with the network equipment vendor when deploying in mixed-vendor environments.
