SFP28 lähetin-vastaanotin BlueOptics AFBR-725SMZ-BC-BO 25000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics AFBR-725SMZ-BC-BO is a 25G SFP28 fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed short-reach optical links over multimode fiber. It supports a maximum data rate of 25000 Mbit/s and uses an LC duplex connector. The module implements 850 nm VCSEL-based transmit and receive optics suitable for 25GBASE-SR applications and includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time monitoring of voltage, bias current, optical power, and temperature. The transceiver is RoHS, CE, FCC compliant and produced under ISO9001 quality controls.

Advantages

The BlueOptics AFBR-725SMZ-BC-BO offers 25 Gbit/s throughput in an industry-standard SFP28 form factor, allowing plug-and-play integration into hardware that supports SFP28 modules. Its LC duplex interface and multimode 850 nm optics provide simultaneous transmit and receive channels over a single pair of fibers. Digital diagnostics simplify remote monitoring and troubleshooting of optical links. The module is manufactured to MSA mechanical and electrical standards and is tested for compatibility with Broadcom AFBR-725SMZ-BC platforms.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 25GBASE-SR connections in data center switch uplinks
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links over multimode fiber

How to use

Install the BlueOptics AFBR-725SMZ-BC-BO into an SFP28 port of compatible network equipment while the device is powered according to the host manufacturer’s instructions. Connect LC duplex fiber patch cords to the transceiver ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation and use multimode fiber patch cords and cabling rated for 25GBASE-SR. Verify that the host device supports the SFP28 transceiver and the DDM/DOM feature if monitoring is required. After insertion, confirm link status and negotiate the expected speed and protocol on the host system.

Recommendations

Use multimode OM3/OM4 fiber for optimal 25GBASE-SR performance and keep fiber connectors clean to maintain signal quality. Ensure the host device explicitly supports SFP28 modules of this type and enable DDM/DOM in management software for proactive monitoring. Store and handle the transceiver in a static-safe environment and avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or mechanical damage.
