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

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-ZY-BO is a fiber optic transceiver module that supports 25 Gbit/s data transmission over single-mode fiber. Designed for the SFP28 interface, this module provides a reliable physical layer connection for switches, routers and network interface cards that accept SFP28 modules. With a long reach capability, the module is suitable for deployments that require high-bandwidth links across extended distances in data centers and enterprise backbones.

Advantages

The transceiver enables 25 Gbit/s throughput with low latency and stable optical performance. Its SFP28 form factor ensures compatibility with modern 25G network equipment while conserving port density. The module's long-reach design supports extended link distances up to 30 km on single-mode fiber, enabling flexible network topology planning without intermediate regeneration. Built to industry form-factor standards, it supports hot-pluggable installation for minimal downtime during upgrades or maintenance.

Suitable for

• 25G uplinks between switches and routers in data centers
• Long-distance fiber connections in campus and metro networks
• High-bandwidth server connections and aggregation links
• Enterprise backbone links requiring single-mode fiber

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28-25G-ERL-30-ZY-BO into an available SFP28 port on compatible network equipment with the module oriented according to the port guide. Connect single-mode fiber patch cables to the transceiver's optical interface following the correct TX/RX orientation. Ensure the connected device is configured for 25G operation and verify link status in the device management interface. If the device requires it, allow time for the optical link to establish and confirm alarms or diagnostics for proper optical power levels.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber (SMF) with appropriate connectors and maintain clean connector endfaces to ensure optimal optical performance. Select fiber cables rated for long-distance transmission and verify compatibility with the host equipment's SFP28 ports. Monitor link health through device diagnostics and plan for proper optical loss budget when designing long-reach links.
