SFP28 transceiver module BlueOptics SFP28-25G-LR-VA-BO 10000 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-LR-VA-BO is an SFP28 fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed optical data links. It supports serial data transmission at up to 10000 Mbit/s over single-mode fiber and operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm. The module is housed in a metal casing, measures extremely light at approximately 2 g and requires a 3.3 V supply, making it suitable for compact networking equipment that accepts SFP28 interface modules.

Advantages

This SFP28 transceiver follows MSA-compatible form factor and LC duplex connectivity conventions, allowing interoperability with hardware that supports SFP28 modules. Its metal housing provides mechanical robustness and electromagnetic shielding. The 1310 nm wavelength and single-mode operation enable longer reach compared with multimode optics while the lightweight design and standard 3.3 V power requirement simplify integration into switches, routers and storage systems.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet links
• Connections between switches, routers and transport equipment over single-mode fiber
• Data center uplinks and long-reach campus backbone segments

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP28
• Maximum data transfer rate: 10000 Mbit/s
• Optical wavelength: 1310 nm
• Connector type: LC duplex (single-mode fiber)
• Supply voltage: 3.3 V
• Housing: metal casing
• Weight: approximately 0.002 kg

How to use

Install the module into an SFP28-compatible port following the host device manufacturer’s hot-plug guidelines. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords to the transmit and receive ports, ensuring correct polarity. Verify the host device recognizes the transceiver and confirm link status through the switch or router management interface. If available, enable and read the transceiver’s digital diagnostic (DDM/DOM) information to monitor voltage, temperature, and optical power parameters.

Recommendations

Use factory-tested single-mode LC duplex patch cords and ensure the host platform supports SFP28 modules and the DDM/DOM feature if diagnostics are required. Avoid excessive bending of fiber and follow ESD handling procedures when inserting or removing the module.
