1. Product Overview
The 25G SFP28 LR is a high-performance bidirectional SFP28 optical transceiver module designed for 25G Ethernet applications. It supports data rates up to 25.78 Gbps over single-mode fiber with a transmission distance of up to 15 km. This optical module integrates advanced DML laser technology and a PIN/TIA receiver, ensuring low power consumption and high reliability. It is ideal for data centers, enterprise networks, and high-speed computing environments.
2. 25G SFP28 LR Key Features
- Data rates up to 25.78 Gbps
- 15 km transmission over single-mode fiber
- Low power consumption (< 1.4W)
- Single 3.3V power supply
- Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) via SFF-8472
- Hot-pluggable SFP28 form factor
- Industrial temperature range support (-40°C to +85°C)

3. 25G SFP28 LR Technology & Standards
This optical transceiver module complies with SFP28 MSA, SFF-8431, SFF-8432, and SFF-8472 standards. It features built-in Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) on both Tx and Rx paths, ensuring low jitter and high signal integrity. The device uses a DML laser and PIN photodiode with TIA for superior optical performance.
4. 25G SFP28 LR Working Principle
The optical module operates on a bidirectional (BIDI) principle, using two different wavelengths (1270/1330 nm or 1330/1270 nm) for transmit and receive over a single fiber strand. Internal CDR circuits retime and reshape the electrical signals, reducing jitter and improving BER performance. The digital diagnostics controller continuously monitors key parameters such as temperature, optical power, and bias current.
