Add-On SFP-25GB-BX-U-HP-AO 25Gbps SFP28 Transceiver

Overview

The Add-On SFP-25GB-BX-U-HP-AO is a 25Gbps SFP28 optical transceiver designed for single-mode fiber (SMF) connections up to 10 kilometers. This module is critical for extending network infrastructure, particularly in large-scale surveillance deployments where high-bandwidth data needs to travel significant distances between network switches and edge devices like cameras or NVRs. Its specific application involves providing a reliable, high-speed link where standard copper Ethernet limitations are exceeded, ensuring data integrity for video streams and control signals.

Compatibility

This SFP28 transceiver is engineered for compatibility with network switches and devices that support the SFP28 form factor and the 25GBASE-BX standard. It is designed to interface with network equipment from major manufacturers that utilize industry-standard SFP28 slots. For surveillance applications, this typically means compatibility with high-density, high-throughput managed switches used in enterprise networks or data centers that aggregate video feeds from numerous IP cameras.

Installation Notes

Installation requires careful handling of the SFP28 module and the fiber optic cable. Ensure the fiber connector (LC duplex) is clean before insertion. The module utilizes a Bi-Directional (BX) technology, meaning it transmits and receives on a single fiber strand using different wavelengths, requiring a paired BX transceiver at the other end of the link. For optimal performance and to maintain signal integrity over the 10km distance, use appropriate quality single-mode fiber optic cabling.
