Dell (Force10) compatible SFP28-25G-LR Description

EdgeOptic's SFP28-25G-LR compatible is a Dell-coded dual-rate 10G/25G LR SFP28 transceiver and the Dell-coded variant of the EdgeOptic 25G-SFP28-10 multi-vendor 25GBASE-LR catalog. Dell.com also lists this optic under the ordering code 407-BBXZ for the 25GbE SFP28 LR SMF Duplex LC transceiver, so partner quotes, Dell purchase orders, and PowerSwitch BOMs that reference 407-BBXZ map to the same physical module. The transceiver carries 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10.31 Gbps) and 25 Gigabit Ethernet (25.78 Gbps) over a single G.652 SMF pair at 1310 nm, terminated with a duplex LC/UPC connector.

The transmitter is a DML driving the 1310 nm LC duplex; the receiver is a PIN photodiode. Optical specifications: TX output power −7 to +2 dBm, RX sensitivity −12 dBm, RX overload +3 dBm, minimum extinction ratio 3.5 dB, and a 5 dB optical link budget over the 10 km specified reach on G.652 SMF. Real reach on a long link is loss-limited by installed fiber attenuation, splice loss, and connector loss, so on spans above 8 km calculate end-to-end insertion loss against the 5 dB budget rather than the nominal 10 km figure. The module operates 0 to 70 °C on a +3.3 V single supply with 1.2 W maximum power consumption.

At 25G operation the host MAC performs RS(528,514) RS-FEC; the module itself has no built-in FEC. Dell PowerSwitch platforms configure FEC per port, and the FEC mode must agree on both link partners or the link comes up down without optical errors. Verify the per-interface FEC mode under the relevant Dell OS release before commissioning a 25G LR link. At 10G operation the optic behaves as a standard 10GBASE-LR module and host-side FEC is not required, but the host port must support dual-rate selection between 10G and 25G on its SFP28 cage. DDM diagnostics report TX power, RX power, module temperature, laser bias, and supply voltage in real time per SFF-8472.

The module ships with Dell-recognized EEPROM coding so the optic registers cleanly under Dell PowerSwitch OS versions and does not require third-party-transceiver override commands. Dell.com lists 407-BBXZ as compatible with Dell PowerSwitch E3200-ON, N2200-ON, N3200-ON, S3248T-ON, S5212F-ON, S5224F-ON, S5232F-ON, S5248F-ON, S5296F-ON, Z9664F-ON, and Z9864F-ON. Typical applications: data center 25G leaf-spine aggregation on PowerSwitch S5200-series and Z9000-series, campus 25G uplinks on N3200-series, and metro 25G long-reach connections. Confirm platform, line card, and Dell OS release support against the Dell PowerSwitch Transceiver Compatibility Matrix before ordering. Conforms to IEEE 802.3cc, SFF-8431, SFF-8432, SFF-8472, and the SFP28 MSA.

Compliance: CE, Class 1 FDA and IEC 60825-1 laser safety, RoHS. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty. Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms.

Dell SFP28-25G-LR Compatible FAQs

Which Dell PowerSwitch models support the SFP28-25G-LR?

Dell.com lists 407-BBXZ (the Dell ordering code for the 25GbE SFP28 LR SMF Duplex LC transceiver) as compatible with Dell PowerSwitch E3200-ON, N2200-ON, N3200-ON, S3248T-ON, S5212F-ON, S5224F-ON, S5232F-ON, S5248F-ON, S5296F-ON, Z9664F-ON, and Z9864F-ON. Verify the specific chassis and Dell OS release against the Dell PowerSwitch Transceiver Compatibility Matrix for the active OS version before ordering. EdgeOptic supplies Dell-coded EEPROM by default; for any platform outside the standard coding library, request the target platform through sales.

Is the Dell SFP28-25G-LR the same module as ordering code 407-BBXZ?

Yes. 407-BBXZ is the Dell ordering code for the SFP28-25G-LR, the 25GbE SFP28 LR SMF Duplex LC transceiver, per the Dell.com product page. Engineers ordering through Dell's networking ordering channel will see 407-BBXZ on quotes, purchase orders, and PowerSwitch BOMs; the marketing name SFP28-25G-LR refers to the same optical module. EdgeOptic ships the same Dell-coded compatible against either code. Note that 407-BBWK is the Dell ordering code for the 25GbE SFP28 SR variant; the LR and SR are separate parts.
