Módulo transceptor SFP BlueOptics SFP-25G-SR-AL 25000 Mbit/s SFP28 850 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-25G-SR-AL is a fiber optic SFP28 transceiver module designed for short-range, high-speed data links. Supporting a maximum data transfer rate of 25 Gbit/s and operating at an 850 nm wavelength, this module is intended for use in data centers, enterprise switches and routers equipped with SFP28 ports. The compact SFP28 form factor provides compatibility with modern networking equipment and supports multimode fiber connections for reliable short-reach transmission.

Advantages

The module offers a compact SFP28 interface with a 25 Gbit/s throughput and an 850 nm VCSEL light source suited for multimode fiber. Its design focuses on interoperability with standard SFP28 ports and on delivering low-latency, high-bandwidth links for server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections. The device’s shortwave operation reduces optical power requirements for short links while maintaining signal integrity in typical rack and cabinet environments.

Suitable for

• Short-range 25 Gbit/s links in data centers
• Server uplinks to SFP28-enabled switches
• Top-of-rack and access layer connections using multimode fiber
• High-density switch ports requiring SFP28 modules

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP28 form factor compatible with SFP28 ports
• Maximum data transfer rate: 25 000 Mbit/s (25 Gbit/s)
• Operating wavelength: 850 nm (multimode, short-range)
• Typical use: short-reach multimode fiber connections
• Physical form: compact hot-pluggable transceiver module

How to use

Install the SFP-25G-SR-AL into an SFP28-compatible port while the host device is powered on or following the equipment manufacturer’s hot-plug instructions. Connect the multimode fiber patch cable (matching connector type) to the transceiver and to the remote device. Verify link status and configure speed/duplex settings on the connected network equipment if necessary. Follow safety practices for handling optical modules and avoid looking directly into the fiber connector when the link is active.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber for optimal reach and performance at 25 Gbit/s and ensure fiber connectors are clean before mating. Confirm compatibility with the switch or router vendor if firmware-based vendor locking is a concern. Store and handle the transceiver in an electrostatic-safe environment and observe manufacturer guidelines for temperature and humidity ranges.
