Description

The FN-TRAN-SFP28-SR-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Fortinet FN-TRAN-SFP28-SR. This transceiver is plug-and-play compatible with Fortinet systems equipped with SFP28 slots. - 25GBASE-SR and 10GBASE-SR standards guarantee interoperability with any compliant SFP28 host platform at 25.78 Gbps or 10.3 Gbps - SFP28 form factor, 850nm wavelength, LC duplex connector, multi-mode fibre (MMF) - Supports 100m reach over OM4 fibre or 70m over OM3 fibre - DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring) support provides real-time access to temperature, voltage, transmit and receive power parameters - VCSEL transmitter and PIN photodiode receiver optimised for short-reach multi-mode applications - Hot-swappable for installation without network downtime, compliant with SFP28 MSA (SFF-8402) and IEEE 802.3by/802.3cc standards

Features

• IEEE 802.3by and 802.3cc compliance ensures interoperability with any standards-compliant 25G or 10G host, eliminating vendor lock-in for SFP28 slot applications
• Dual-rate operation at 25.78 Gbps and 10.3 Gbps allows deployment in mixed-speed networks without requiring separate inventory for 10G and 25G links
• VCSEL laser technology at 850nm delivers low power consumption (1.2W maximum) and supports high-density deployments in temperature-controlled environments
• Fibre reach determined by 2.6 dB minimum link budget: 100m over OM4/OM5, 70m over OM3, allowing precise planning based on installed cable plant attenuation
• Hot-swappable SFP28 MSA form factor with duplex LC interface permits field installation and replacement without shutting down the host system or adjacent ports
• Digital Optical Monitoring exposes real-time transmit power, receive power, temperature, voltage, and bias current via I2C interface for proactive link health management

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Fortinet FN-TRAN-SFP28-SR?
A: Yes. This transceiver is built to the same 25GBASE-SR and 10GBASE-SR standards, shares the same SFP28 form factor, 850nm wavelength, and dual-rate 25.78/10.3 Gbps capability as the FN-TRAN-SFP28-SR. It is plug-and-play compatible and will initialise identically in Fortinet systems with SFP28 slots.

Q: Which Fortinet platforms support this transceiver?
A: This transceiver works in any Fortinet system with SFP28 slots that support 25GE or 10GE operation. The reference datasheet confirms compatibility with systems equipped with SFP28 slots operating at 0°C to 70°C. Consult your Fortinet platform documentation to confirm SFP28 slot availability and supported data rates.

Q: What fibre types and reach can I expect with this module?
A: This transceiver operates over 50/125µm multi-mode fibre only. Over OM4 or OM5 fibre, it supports 100m reach. Over OM3 fibre, reach is limited to 70m. The 2.6 dB link budget assumes typical connector and splice losses; actual reach depends on your installed fibre plant attenuation and connector quality.

Q: Does this transceiver require FEC to be enabled on the host?
A: The Fortinet FN-TRAN-SFP28-SR datasheet does not mandate FEC for full reach at 25G, unlike some vendor platforms that require RS-FEC for certain 25GBASE-SR applications. However, enabling FEC can improve BER performance on marginal links. Consult your Fortinet switch documentation for FEC configuration and any platform-specific requirements.

Q: Can I use this transceiver to connect a 25G port to a 100G SR4 port?
A: Yes, using a multimode MTP/MPO-to-4xLC breakout cable. The 100G SR4 side uses a QSFP28 module with MTP/MPO-12 connector, and the breakout cable fans out to four LC duplex connectors. Each lane runs at 25G, so one lane connects to this SFP28-SR transceiver. Ensure your 100G switch supports per-lane breakout and that all modules use compatible FEC settings.
