Brocade compatible E25G-SFP28-SR Description
EdgeOptic's E25G-SFP28-SR compatible is a Brocade/Ruckus-coded 25GBASE-SR SFP28 transceiver, a direct replacement for the Ruckus E25G-SFP28-SR 25Gbps SFP28 SR Optical Transceiver Module (OEM part number E25G-SFP28-SR). It ships with Ruckus-recognized EEPROM, so FastIron on Ruckus ICX campus switches identifies the module as a native Ruckus ICX optic.
The module operates at 25GBASE-SR per IEEE 802.3by Clause 112. 850nm VCSEL transmitter, PIN photodiode receiver, LC/UPC duplex connector on a single pair of OM3, OM4 or OM5 multimode fiber. Reach is 100m on OM4 and OM5, 70m on OM3. Transmit power is -8.4 to +2.4 dBm, receive sensitivity -10.3 dBm, optical budget 5.3 dB. Line rate covers 8.5 to 25.78 Gbps. Power draw is 0.3W maximum. DOM per SFF-8472, operating case temperature 0 to 70 degrees C.
A word on branding. The E25G-SFP28-SR OPN originated as a Brocade-branded ICX optic; Brocade was acquired by Broadcom in 2017, and the ICX switch product line was sold to CommScope and marketed under the Ruckus brand. Current Ruckus ICX switches and optics carry the Ruckus brand on the label, but the OEM EEPROM coding and the OPN have remained consistent across the brand transitions. EdgeOptic's compatible is coded to the Brocade/Ruckus identification structure, so FastIron accepts it under either the Brocade-era or Ruckus-era chassis. Buyers who see 'Brocade' on one datasheet and 'Ruckus' on another for the same OPN are looking at the same physical module.
Supported Ruckus ICX campus switch chassis for the E25G-SFP28-SR: ICX 7550 series, ICX 7650 series, ICX 7750 series and ICX 7850 series. On each family the module populates the native SFP28 cages on 25G-capable uplink or stacking slots. The E25G-SFP28-SR is a distinct OPN from the older Brocade 25G-SFP28-SR; both are 25GBASE-SR MMF LC duplex and the EEPROM codes differ. If your environment has both OPNs in procurement records, confirm the label on the physical module matches the OPN on the purchase order. The Ruckus Ethernet Optics compatibility list is the authoritative reference for ICX chassis qualification at 25G.
Ruckus FastIron includes a transceiver verification mechanism that flags uncoded third-party modules with a warning log entry. Because EdgeOptic's E25G-SFP28-SR compatible is programmed with Ruckus-recognized EEPROM, the warning should not appear in normal operation. DOM registers for transmit power, receive power, laser bias current, module temperature and supply voltage are exposed through FastIron CLI and through standard SFP28-port SNMP MIBs. Every unit is factory-tested to the 25GBASE-SR optical specification per IEEE 802.3by Clause 112. Certifications: CE, RoHS, Class 1 FDA and IEC 60825-1.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Ruckus ICX switches support the Brocade E25G-SFP28-SR transceiver?
The E25G-SFP28-SR is qualified on the 25G-capable ICX campus switch families: ICX 7550, ICX 7650, ICX 7750 and ICX 7850. On each chassis family the module seats in the native SFP28 uplink or stacking cages. Specific FastIron firmware minima vary by release; confirm your image against the current Ruckus Ethernet Optics compatibility list for the definitive support matrix.
What is the difference between the Brocade E25G-SFP28-SR and 25G-SFP28-SR?
25G-SFP28-SR is the older Brocade-era OPN; E25G-SFP28-SR is the current Ruckus ICX OPN with the 'E' prefix denoting the Ruckus Ethernet optic line. Both are 25GBASE-SR 850nm MMF LC duplex modules and the raw optical specifications are identical. The practical difference is the EEPROM coding and the ordering code that appears on current Ruckus quotes. If your ICX chassis inventory is current-generation Ruckus ICX, the E25G-SFP28-SR is the correct OPN. Older procurement records that list 25G-SFP28-SR still apply to the physical module in the same chassis, and EdgeOptic maintains separate compatibles for each OPN so buyers can match on the exact part number on their purchase order.
Will the E25G-SFP28-SR compatible trigger a transceiver warning on Ruckus FastIron?
EdgeOptic's E25G-SFP28-SR compatible is programmed with Ruckus-recognized EEPROM, so FastIron identifies the module as a native Ruckus ICX optic and the transceiver-verification warning should not appear in normal operation. Operators who enforce strict pluggable-validation policies in FastIron can validate on a single port before broad deployment. If you see an unexpected warning message after insertion, capture the FastIron log lines and contact our sales team so we can verify the EEPROM coding on the specific unit.
Is the Brocade E25G-SFP28-SR the same as the Intel E25GSFP28SR?
No. The two part numbers look similar but target different ecosystems. The Brocade E25G-SFP28-SR is the Ruckus ICX switch optic coded for FastIron on Ruckus ICX campus switches. The Intel E25GSFP28SR is an Intel-branded SFP28 optic coded for Intel server NIC adapters such as the XXV710 line. The raw optical specifications are the same 25GBASE-SR MMF LC duplex, but the EEPROM coding, packaging, and supported validation lists differ. Match the part number to the chassis brand when ordering: Brocade/Ruckus for ICX switches, Intel for Intel NIC adapters.
