Optical transceiver BlueOptics 407-BDGX BO27O856S1D SFP28 25G 850nm

BlueOptics 407-BDGX SFP28 25G 850nm optical transceiver is a compact, hot-pluggable module designed for short-range multimode fiber links. It supports a 25 Gigabit per second data rate over 850 nm wavelength, providing a standard interface for high-speed uplinks and switch ports in data centers and enterprise networks. The module fits SFP28 ports and is intended for installations that require straightforward replacement and fast, reliable 25G connectivity on multimode fiber infrastructure.

Advantages

The BlueOptics 407-BDGX delivers a stable 25G link with low power consumption and a small form factor compatible with SFP28 slots. Its hot-pluggable design allows on-the-fly replacement without powering down equipment, reducing maintenance windows. Engineered for short-reach multimode fiber, the transceiver provides predictable optical performance at 850 nm and is suitable for dense rack environments where space and power efficiency matter.

Suitable for

• 25G uplinks between switches and aggregation devices in data centers
• Short-range server connections over multimode fiber (short-reach links)
• High-density switch ports where SFP28 compatibility is required
• Enterprise network segments needing standardized, hot-swappable optical modules

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28
• Data rate: 25 Gbps
• Wavelength: 850 nm
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (short-range)
• Optical mode: VCSEL-based multimode transmission
• Connector type: Duplex LC
• Operation: Hot-pluggable
• Typical applications: Short-range links in data centers and enterprise networks

How to use

Ensure the SFP28 port on the switch or transceiver-equipped device is powered and compatible with 25G modules before insertion. Handle the module by its housing, avoid touching the optical interface, and remove protective caps from the connector ends prior to installation. Insert the module firmly into the SFP28 port until it clicks into place; the host device should detect the module automatically. Use appropriate multimode fiber cabling with LC duplex connectors and verify link status and diagnostics through the host device management interface.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use quality multimode fiber patch cords and follow manufacturer guidelines for port compatibility. Keep transceiver dust caps on when not connected and perform regular inspection and cleaning of fiber end faces to maintain optimal signal quality. Confirm supported link distances for your specific multimode fiber type (e.g., OM3/OM4) to ensure expected performance.
