Brocade compatible E25G-SFP28-LR Description
EdgeOptic's E25G-SFP28-LR compatible is a Brocade and Ruckus-coded version of the EdgeOptic 25G-SFP28-10 multi-vendor 25GBASE-LR transceiver. Brocade's ICX campus switching line later moved to Ruckus branding, so the same E25G-SFP28-LR part appears under both Brocade and Ruckus names depending on the era of the order. The compatible carries the EEPROM data an ICX switch expects from a Brocade or Ruckus E25G-SFP28-LR module, so the host reads it as a recognized part.
The original Brocade E25G-SFP28-LR is a single-rate 25GBASE-LR module. EdgeOptic's compatible is built on the dual-rate 25G-SFP28-10 platform, so beyond the 25G Ethernet (25.78 Gbps) application it also supports 10G Ethernet (10.31 Gbps) operation per IEEE 802.3cc. That broader rate envelope lets one part number serve a 25G port today and a 10G fallback link without a separate optic on the shelf.
The module transmits and receives at 1310 nm over duplex single-mode fiber with LC connectors and reaches 10 km. Launch power ranges from a minimum of −7 dBm to a maximum of +2 dBm, receiver sensitivity is rated at −12 dBm, and receiver overload sits at +3 dBm. The 5 dB average link budget covers a standard 10 km single-mode span. Maximum power draw is 1.2 W across a 0 to 70 °C commercial temperature range. Digital optical monitoring per SFF-8472 reports temperature, voltage, laser bias, and optical power.
The optic has no built-in FEC; on 25G links, RS-FEC runs on the host switch port per IEEE 802.3cc. The compatible matches the SFP28 MSA along with SFF-8431, SFF-8432, and SFF-8472, and carries CE and RoHS marking with Class 1 laser safety. Confirm the fiber plant is single-mode end to end, since this LR optic will not link over multimode fiber. The same EdgeOptic 25G-SFP28-10 transceiver is available under multiple vendor codes, which keeps one spare valid across a mixed-vendor estate.
Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms, the E25G-SFP28-LR compatible ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Ruckus ICX switch models support the E25G-SFP28-LR transceiver?
25G SFP28 optic support on the Ruckus ICX family depends on both the switch model and its firmware release, and support has been added across firmware versions over time. Before deploying, check the SFP28 port against the current Ruckus Ethernet Optics compatibility documentation and the ICX firmware release notes for the target switch, since an optic accepted on one ICX model or firmware level may need a newer release on another. The EdgeOptic compatible is coded to the E25G-SFP28-LR profile, so where the platform supports the OEM part it reads the compatible as the same module.
