The 25G SFP28 is a Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver that supports 25 Gigabit per second (Gbps) data rates. It is a speed-enhanced, backward-compatible version of the SFP+ format, designed for high-speed connectivity in data centers and enterprise networks.
🚀
It delivers data rates up to 28Gbps, primarily used for 25G Ethernet connections. It can connect four SFP28 modules to a QSFP28 transceiver for 100G connections.
🔄
25G SFP28 ports are generally backward-compatible and can accept SFP+ and SFP transceivers, providing flexibility in network upgrades.
Available Types for Different Distances and Fiber Types:
+ SFP28 SR: For short-range transmissions over multimode fiber.
+ SFP28 LR: For long-range transmissions over single-mode fiber.
+ SFP28 DAC: Directly Attached Copper cables for short distances.
+ SFP28 AOC: Active Optical Cables with integrated transceivers for high-speed links.
🛠️
The SFP28 BiDi module is compliant with SFF-8431. It offers previously unavailable system cost, upgrade, and reliability benefits by virtue of being hot-pluggable.
