The Ubiquiti 25G Multi‑Mode Optical Module is suitable for applications where higher bandwidth is needed for servers, storage, aggregation, and network infrastructure.

Technical Knowledge – Explained Simply

An SFP28 optical module is a transceiver that fits into a compatible SFP28 port on networking equipment. Its job is simple: it converts network data into light signals that travel through fiber optic cable. At the end, another compatible optical module converts the light signals back into network data.

The Ubiquiti 25G Multi‑Mode Optical Module uses multi‑mode fiber and supports speeds of up to 25Gbps.

It supports three data rates:

• 1Gbps
• 10Gbps
• 25Gbps

This gives customers flexibility when connecting compatible networking equipment operating at these speeds.

OM3 vs OM4 Fiber

The supported distance depends on the type of multi‑mode fiber being used:

• OM4 Fiber: Up to 100 metres (328 ft)
• OM3 Fiber: Up to 70 metres (229 ft)

So if you need the 100‑metre distance specified by Ubiquiti, use compatible OM4 multi‑mode fiber.

Duplex LC UPC Connector

The Ubiquiti 25G Multi‑Mode Optical Module uses a Duplex LC UPC connector.

“Duplex” means the fiber connection uses two fiber strands – one for transmitting data and one for receiving data.

The LC connector is a compact fiber connector commonly used in network equipment and fiber patch cables.

Compatibility

Ubiquiti states that the Ubiquiti 25G Multi‑Mode Optical Module is compatible with:

• SFP28 interfaces
• SFP+ interfaces
• SFP interfaces

Customers should always confirm that their particular network equipment supports the required module, speed, and fiber type before purchasing.

Size & Weight

• Form Factor: SFP28

Ubiquiti’s product specifications currently provide the SFP28 form factor but do not list physical dimensions or product weight for the Ubiquiti 25G Multi‑Mode Optical Module.

For accuracy, dimensions and weight should not be added to the website unless Ubiquiti provides them.

Power Consumption

The Ubiquiti 25G has a power consumption of just 0.8 W, making it a low‑power option for compatible high‑speed fiber networking applications.

Operating Temperature

The Ubiquiti 25G is rated for an operating temperature range of:

0 to 70 °C (32 to 158 °F)

Important Information

• Fiber cable is not included.
• The maximum distance is 100 m with OM4 and 70 m with OM3.
• The connected network equipment must support the SFP/SFP+/SFP28 interface and speed.
• This is a Class 1 laser product. Do not look directly into the ends of the fiber optic cable or SFP module while the equipment is powered.

Why Do Customers Need This Product?

If your customer needs to connect network equipment at 10Gbps or 25Gbps over multi‑mode fiber, the Ubiquiti 25G Multi‑Mode Optical Module provides a reliable solution.

It is especially useful for data centers, enterprise networks, server rooms, and fast switch uplinks where fast fiber connectivity’s important.

With support for up to 25Gbps OM4 distances, up to 100 metres of duplex LC UPC connectivity, and compatibility with SFP28/SFP+/SFP interfaces, the Ubiquiti 25G Multi‑Mode Optical Module gives customers a way to build or upgrade their high‑speed fiber network.

In terms of this is the small fiber module you need to turn a compatible network switch or server port into a fast fiber connection.
