25G Fronthaul SFP28 10km RX-Only Transceiver: 25GFH-SFP28-10RX

Our EDGEOPTIC 25GFH-SFP28-10RX is a multi-vendor compatible 25G Fronthaul SFP28 receive-only optical module designed for specialized mobile fronthaul applications requiring unidirectional signal reception. This single-fiber transceiver provides dedicated receiver functionality for monitoring, testing, and asymmetric network architectures in 5G and LTE deployments where transmit capability is not required or handled by separate equipment.

The 25GFH-SFP28-10RX module receives at 1310nm wavelength with no transmitter function, supporting data rates from 8.5 to 28.1 Gbps. This multi-rate capability enables compatibility with various CPRI (Common Public Radio Interface) options including CPRI Option 7 at 9.830 Gbps, Option 8 at 10.138 Gbps, Option 9 at 12.165 Gbps, and Option 10 at 24.33 Gbps. The receive-only design makes this transceiver ideal for signal monitoring applications, optical tap configurations, and test equipment where only incoming signal detection is required.

Our 25G Fronthaul RX-Only SFP28 transceiver utilizes PIN photodiode technology for signal reception, providing reliable detection suitable for 10-kilometer single-mode fiber links. The receiver operates within a wavelength bandwidth of 40nm with sensitivity ranging from -13 dBm to 2 dBm and overload protection at 3 dBm. This sensitivity range ensures reliable signal detection across typical fronthaul link budgets while protecting against excessive input power levels.

The 25GFH-SFP28-10RX compatible 25G Fronthaul RX-Only module is a hot-pluggable SFP28 transceiver featuring a single LC/UPC connector as the optical interface. The electrical interface conforms to SFF-8431, SFF-8432, and SFP28 MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) specifications, ensuring compatibility with standard SFP28 host systems across multiple vendor equipment platforms. Our 25G Fronthaul RX-Only SFP28 transceiver can be programmed for compatibility with various network equipment manufacturers.

The module incorporates DDM/DOM (Digital Diagnostic Monitoring) functionality providing real-time operational parameters including received optical power levels, module temperature, and supply voltage. This diagnostic data is accessible via SFF-8472 compliant EEPROM interface, enabling continuous monitoring of receiver performance in fronthaul monitoring applications. Maximum power consumption is 1.2W.

The transceiver operates within a commercial temperature range of 0 to 70°C, suitable for controlled indoor installations. Standards compliance includes 25GBASE-LR and IEEE 802.3cc specifications. The module is CE marked and RoHS compliant.

Typical applications include fronthaul signal monitoring and analysis, optical splitter tap configurations for network visibility, test and measurement equipment integration, asymmetric fronthaul architectures, and network troubleshooting scenarios where dedicated receive capability is required without transmit functionality.

Because our focus is providing top quality service, we perform comprehensive quality checks before delivery of our products. As a result, we conduct optical parameter measurements, connector cleanliness tests, and SFP28 transceiver EEPROM memory data validation tests to ensure reliable operation in your fronthaul network.
