Upgrade Your Network with a Flexible 10/25GbE Transceiver
Seamlessly transition your infrastructure to meet modern data demands with the Sonnettech SFP28 10/25Gb Short Range Transceiver. Designed for forward-thinking data centers, high-performance computing (HPC) environments, and enterprise networks, this module offers a powerful and cost-effective upgrade from 10GbE to 25GbE. Its innovative dual-rate capability ensures full backward compatibility with your existing 10GbE hardware, protecting your current investments while future-proofing your network for the explosive growth of virtualization, cloud services, and high-speed storage applications. Eliminate bottlenecks and unlock a new tier of performance without a complete and costly overhaul.
Engineered for high-bandwidth connections over short distances, this transceiver utilizes standard multi-mode fiber (MMF) cabling to deliver rock-solid links up to 100 meters. Operating on an 850nm wavelength with a high-reliability VCSEL transmitter, it is the ideal solution for interconnecting switches, servers, and storage arrays within a rack or across the data center floor. The hot-pluggable SFP28 form factor guarantees maximum uptime, allowing you to install, replace, or upgrade modules on the fly without scheduling network downtime. Installation is as simple as plugging it into any compatible SFP28 port.
True to Sonnettech’s commitment to quality, this transceiver combines robust performance with outstanding efficiency. The low-power design reduces operational costs and minimizes heat output, promoting a more stable and energy-efficient server rack environment. By adhering strictly to Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) standards, this module ensures broad interoperability with a vast array of networking equipment from different vendors, giving you the freedom to build and scale your network without vendor lock-in. Whether you are scaling a cloud platform or building a high-throughput video editing workflow, the Sonnettech SFP28 SR transceiver provides the perfect mix of speed, reliability, and value.
