Dell (Force10) compatible D2VX1 Description
EdgeOptic's D2VX1 compatible is a Dell-coded version of the EdgeOptic 25G-SFP28-100 multi-vendor 25GBASE-SR SFP28 transceiver, a direct replacement for the Dell D2VX1. It ships with Dell-recognized EEPROM so Dell PowerEdge servers and iDRAC firmware identify the optic as a native Dell part, and the Mellanox ConnectX adapters the D2VX1 is paired with read the module through standard SFF-8472 access.
Optical behavior is 25GBASE-SR per IEEE 802.3by Clause 112 over duplex multimode fiber: 100 m on OM4 or OM5, 70 m on OM3. Line signaling rate is 25.78125 Gbd, with dual-rate operation down to 10.3125 Gbd for 10GBASE-SR on mixed-speed infrastructure. TX power −5 dBm minimum and +2.4 dBm maximum, RX sensitivity −10.3 dBm, 5.3 dB link budget with host RS-FEC per IEEE 802.3by Clause 108 RS(528,514). Duplex LC/UPC connector, DOM per SFF-8472, 0.3 W maximum, 0 to 70 °C commercial operating range.
D2VX1 is the Dell configure-to-order part number for the 25GbE SFP28 SR optic shipped with Mellanox ConnectX adapter builds on Dell PowerEdge servers. It sits in a different procurement path from the Dell PowerSwitch optics: 407-BBXU is the switch-port No FEC module, SFP28-25G-SR is the OS10 switch-native ordering code, and 407-BCBF is the Intel Customer Kit for Intel 25GbE adapter builds. D2VX1 is the Mellanox-adapter path, ordered against the server SKU rather than a switch-port line.
Platform scope is the Dell PowerEdge R-series rack server family configured with Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx or ConnectX-5 25GbE adapters. The optic also works as a standard 25GBASE-SR SFP28 in any Dell PowerSwitch port that meets the SFP28 electrical specification, though for switch-side procurement the 407-BBXU or SFP28-25G-SR paths are the Dell-native route. Verify the specific chassis-to-adapter qualification against the Dell PowerEdge configuration guide for the generation you are deploying.
DOM registers for transmit power, receive power, supply voltage, laser bias and module case temperature are exposed through SFF-8472 and accessible via iDRAC storage and networking telemetry, and via the Mellanox ConnectX driver utilities (mlxlink on Linux) or standard ethtool output on Linux hosts. Windows host DOM access depends on the installed Mellanox/NVIDIA driver version. The optic is compliant with the 25GBASE-SR optical specification per IEEE 802.3by Clause 112.
Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions about D2VX1
What is the difference between Dell D2VX1, 407-BBXU, and 407-BCBF?
The three part numbers cover different Dell procurement paths for the same 25GBASE-SR optical specification. D2VX1 is the configure-to-order SFP28 that ships with Mellanox ConnectX adapter builds on Dell PowerEdge servers. 407-BCBF is the Intel Customer Kit, shipped with PowerEdge builds using Intel 25GbE adapters. 407-BBXU is the Dell Networking switch-port module labelled No FEC, ordered against PowerSwitch line cards. Optically the three are equivalent 25GBASE-SR SFP28 modules; the EEPROM coding and Dell procurement context differ, so match the ordering code to the procurement path Dell ProSupport keys off.
Does the D2VX1 support dual-rate 10G and 25G operation on mixed-speed server NIC deployments?
Yes. The EdgeOptic D2VX1 compatible follows the 25G-SFP28-100 root specification, which supports 25GBASE-SR at 25.78125 Gbd per IEEE 802.3by Clause 112 and 10GBASE-SR at 10.3125 Gbd per IEEE 802.3ae Clause 52. In a mixed-generation server fleet running Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx or ConnectX-5 adapters where some chassis negotiate at 10 GbE and others at 25 GbE, the same D2VX1 part number can sit in both ports. The host NIC and switch-side port configuration determine the negotiated rate; the optic itself does not need re-ordering between the two speeds.
Can the D2VX1 be used in a Dell PowerSwitch 25G port instead of ordering 407-BBXU?
Optically it works, since the underlying 25GBASE-SR SFP28 specification is the same. For switch-side procurement, the Dell-native ordering codes are 407-BBXU (Dell Networking 25GbE SR No FEC) or SFP28-25G-SR on OS10 platforms; D2VX1 is the server-NIC configure-to-order code. For switch-port deployments order against the switch-side SKU so Dell ProSupport cases key off the right asset path. The EdgeOptic D2VX1 compatible is positioned for the Mellanox ConnectX server-NIC procurement path.
