Optical SFP28 Transceiver BlueOptics BO27Q13640DIN 25GBASE-ER 40 km

BlueOptics BO27Q13640DIN is an SFP28 optical transceiver module engineered for 25GBASE-ER Ethernet links over single-mode fiber. The module supports long-range connections up to 40 km in a compact, hot-pluggable SFP28 form factor. It is intended for use in environments that require stable 25 Gbps throughput with low latency, such as data center interconnects and carrier access networks.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers a standardized 25GBASE-ER interface for extended reach without additional regeneration equipment. Its single-mode optics are optimized for up to 40 km distance, enabling direct fiber links between sites. The SFP28 form factor allows straightforward insertion into compatible ports and supports hot-swap replacement to minimize downtime. Designed for interoperability with common networking equipment, the module balances compact size with reliable optical performance.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects requiring 25 Gbps links over single-mode fiber
• Carrier and metro networks needing extended reach optical links
• Backbone connections between switches, routers, and media converters
• Environments where hot-pluggable, space-efficient optics are preferred

Key specifications

• Protocol: 25GBASE-ER Ethernet over single-mode fiber
• Maximum reach: up to 40 km on single-mode fiber
• Form factor: SFP28, hot-pluggable
• Data rate: 25 Gbps
• Optical interface: single-mode fiber (SMF)

How to use

Install the transceiver by inserting the SFP28 module into a compatible port on a switch, router, or media converter until it clicks. Connect single-mode fiber with appropriate LC connectors to the optical interface, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the host device for 25G operation if required; the module itself is plug-and-play in most systems. Monitor link status via the host equipment to verify successful negotiation and optical signal levels.

Usage recommendations

Handle the optical module using ESD-safe procedures and keep dust caps on the fiber ports when not connected. Use single-mode fiber of suitable quality and verify link budget for distances approaching 40 km. Consult the host equipment compatibility list and firmware requirements before deployment to ensure full interoperability.
