SFP28 transceiver module BlueOptics SFP28-25G-LR-F5-BO 25000 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-LR-F5-BO is a single-mode fiber optic SFP28 transceiver module designed for 25GBASE-LR links. It supports a maximum data rate of 25,000 Mbit/s and operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm. Housed in a durable metal enclosure and equipped with an LC duplex connector, this module is intended for long-reach optical connections and complies with MSA form-factor and optical interface conventions.

Advantages

The module provides 25 Gbit/s full-duplex optical transmission over single-mode fiber with low electromagnetic susceptibility and long reach. Its metal housing and industry-standard SFP28 interface ensure mechanical compatibility and robust operation in racks and network devices. The transceiver includes digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) capability for real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmitted and received optical power, and temperature, simplifying diagnostics and maintenance.

Suitable for

• High-speed 25G Ethernet uplinks and interconnects
• Long-distance single-mode fiber links up to LR-class reach
• Use in switches, routers, storage systems and load balancers that accept SFP28 25GBASE-LR modules
• Environments requiring DDM/DOM monitoring for link diagnostics

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP28 (MSA form factor)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 25,000 Mbit/s (25G)
• Optical wavelength: 1310 nm (Tx and Rx)
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (LC duplex connector)
• Enclosure: metal housing, silver colour
• Weight: approximately 0.002 kg
• Digital diagnostic monitoring: supports DDM/DOM (MSA SFF-8472 compliant)

How to use

Install the module into an SFP28-compatible port on a network device following the device manufacturer’s insertion and removal guidelines. Connect the LC duplex single-mode patch cord, observing Tx-to-Rx orientation between endpoints. Ensure the host device firmware supports 25GBASE-LR SFP28 modules and, if required, enable or verify support for DDM/DOM to access diagnostic parameters. After insertion, verify link status and negotiate appropriate speed and duplex settings on the host device.

Recommendations

For optimal link performance, use quality single-mode LC duplex patch cords and maintain clean connectors. Verify host compatibility with SFP28 25GBASE-LR modules before deployment and confirm that DDM/DOM monitoring is supported by the hardware to enable remote diagnostics. Follow ESD precautions when handling the transceiver and avoid excessive bending of fiber cables to maintain signal integrity.
