Product Information

Full details

The Intel E25GSFP28SR is a high-performance fiber optic transceiver designed for data centers and enterprise environments requiring reliable 25GbE connectivity. It is ideal for network administrators upgrading to high-density Ethernet infrastructures, offering excellent power efficiency and seamless integration with the Intel Ethernet 700 Series adapters. A key caveat to note is that this module is specifically optimized for multi-mode fiber (MMF) deployments, meaning it is not suitable for long-distance single-mode applications.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum data transfer rate of this module?

The E25GSFP28SR supports a maximum data transfer rate of 25,000 Mbit/s (25GbE).

Can I use this module with single-mode fiber?

No, this specific model (E25GSFP28SR) is designed strictly for multi-mode fiber (MMF) infrastructure.

What is the operating temperature range?

The module is designed to operate within a temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.

Is this transceiver compatible with 10GbE networks?

Yes, it is often used in hardware that provides backward compatibility, allowing migration from 10GbE to 25GbE.

How much power does the module consume?

It has a typical power consumption of 1.2 W.

What does the 'SR' in the model name stand for?

SR stands for Short Range, indicating that it is designed for short-distance fiber optic communication using 850 nm wavelengths.

Troubleshooting

Link light does not turn on after insertion

Verify the module is fully seated in the SFP28 port and check that the fiber cable is securely connected at both ends.

Network connectivity is intermittent

Inspect the fiber cable for sharp bends or damage, and use an optical cleaning tool to remove potential dust from the transceiver face.

Performance below 25Gbps

Ensure the host server OS and the Intel Network Adapter drivers are updated to the latest versions to support full 25GbE bandwidth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-speed 25GbE performance
  • Energy-efficient design (1.2 W)
  • Reliable Intel build quality
  • Easy installation in standard SFP28 ports

Cons

  • Limited to multi-mode fiber (MMF)
  • Not intended for long-range connectivity
  • Requires specific Intel adapter compatibility for best results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the E25GSFP28SR is straightforward: simply slide the module into an available SFP28 slot on your network adapter until it clicks into place. Ensure the fiber optic connector is clean before inserting the cable to prevent signal loss or damage to the optical interface. Always protect the fiber ends with dust caps when they are not in use. This module is strictly designed for multi-mode fiber; ensure your cabling matches this specification (e.g., OM3 or OM4). Avoid touching the optical contact surfaces, and if connectivity issues arise, use a fiber inspection scope to check for debris.
