SFP Transceiver BlueOptics SFP28-25G-LR-MV-BO 25000 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-LR-MV-BO is an SFP28 fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode links with a maximum data transfer rate of 25 Gbit/s and an operating wavelength of 1310 nm. Housed in a metal casing and powered from a 3.3 V supply, this compact transceiver (approximately 2 g) uses an LC duplex connector and supports 25GBASE-LR optical transmission over distances up to around 10 km when used with appropriate single-mode fiber.

Advantages

This SFP28 module follows MSA standards and is compatible with hardware platforms that support the equivalent MRV 25GBASE-LR SFP28 modules. It implements transmitter and receiver optics at 1310 nm for simultaneous send/receive operation over an LC duplex connection. The module includes digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) compliant with SFF-8472 for real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output and input power, and temperature. The metal housing and standardized interface ensure mechanical robustness and reliable electrical/optical performance in high-speed network environments.

Suitable for

• 25G Ethernet uplinks and distribution links in data center and enterprise networks
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and high-speed storage connectivity
• Long-reach single-mode fiber links up to approximately 10 km
• Use in switches, routers, storage systems and other equipment supporting 25GBASE-LR SFP28

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible SFP28 slot on network equipment following the vendor’s hot-plug procedures. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords to the transmit and receive ports, ensuring correct polarity. Verify that the host hardware recognizes the module and, if available, enable or query digital diagnostics through the system management interface to monitor optical power, temperature and supply parameters. Observe standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the module and keep dust caps on unused connectors until making the connection.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use high-quality single-mode fiber patch cords and maintain correct fiber cleanliness. Confirm hardware compatibility and software support for third-party SFP28 modules in the target platform. Use the DDM/DOM function to monitor link health and plan maintenance; maintain a clean fiber environment and appropriate strain relief to maximize service life.
