SFP28 transceiver module BlueOptics W4GPP-BO 25000 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics W4GPP-BO SFP28 transceiver module is a compact optical interface designed for 25G networking over multimode fiber. It supports a maximum data rate of 25000 Mbit/s and operates at an 850 nm wavelength using an LC duplex connector. The module conforms to SFP28 form-factor standards and is intended for high-density installations where reliable short-reach 25G connectivity is required. With a lightweight silver housing and low power footprint, the transceiver provides a standardized physical interface for switches, routers, and storage systems that support SFP28 optics.

Advantages

The module delivers 25GBASE-SR performance in a small SFP28 package, enabling high throughput per port while preserving slot density. Built to MSA-compliant mechanical and optical specifications, it supports simultaneous transmit and receive over two fibers via LC duplex connection and provides compatibility with equipment that accepts SFP28 25G multimode optics. Its compact form factor and modest weight simplify installation and reduce space and thermal constraints in chassis-based systems.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 25G Ethernet links over multimode fiber (up to typical multimode distances)
• High-density data center switch-to-switch and switch-to-server interconnects
• Storage and SAN environments requiring 25G optical uplinks
• Network equipment replacement or upgrades where SFP28 25GBASE-SR optics are supported

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP28 form factor with LC duplex optical connector
• Maximum data transfer rate: 25 000 Mbit/s (25G)
• Operating wavelength: 850 nm (multimode fiber)
• Typical use: 25GBASE-SR multimode short-reach applications
• Colour/finish: silver housing
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg

How to use

Install the SFP28 transceiver into an appropriate SFP28 slot on a compatible switch, router, or storage device until it latches. Connect an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable with matching transceiver or patch panel at the other end, ensuring transmit and receive fibers are correctly oriented. Verify link status and speed on the host device; if the platform supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM), use the management interface to view real-time parameters such as supply voltage, transmit power, receive power and temperature. Follow your equipment vendor’s guidelines for hot-plugging and handling electrostatic-sensitive components.

Usage recommendations

Use high-quality OM3/OM4 multimode fiber and LC duplex patch cords for best 25G short-reach performance. Confirm that the network equipment firmware accepts third-party SFP28 optics and enable DDM/DOM support in the host if diagnostics are required. Avoid excessive bending of fiber cables and ensure clean LC connectors before mating to maintain signal integrity.
