Supermicro AOM-SFP28-25GBE-SR-INT Compatible 25GBASE-SR SFP28 for Intel-Silicon AOC Cards

Intel-coded version of the EdgeOptic 25G-SFP28-100 multi-vendor 25GBASE-SR SFP28 transceiver. The AOM-SFP28-25GBE-SR-INT compatible is a direct replacement for Supermicro's -INT variant, with EEPROM programmed for Intel-silicon validation. The -INT suffix designates pairing with Supermicro AOC cards built on Intel XXV710 or Intel E810 NIC chipsets.

The module operates at 25GBASE-SR over duplex MMF, 100 m on OM4 and OM5, 70 m on OM3. Transmit power is −5 to +2.4 dBm, receive sensitivity better than −10.3 dBm, with a 5.3 dB link budget. RS-FEC per IEEE 802.3by Clause 91 (RS(528,514)) is supported and enabled by the host port at 25G. 850 nm VCSEL transmitter, PIN photodiode receiver, LC/UPC duplex connector, DOM per SFF-8472. Line rate spans 10.3 to 25.78 Gbps, so the same module runs 10GBASE-SR or 25GBASE-SR depending on host port speed. Power draw is 0.3 W maximum.

Supermicro markets the AOM optic family in paired -INT and -1-MLN variants. The -INT variant (this SKU) targets Supermicro AOC server NICs built on Intel silicon (XXV710 and E810 chipsets). The sibling -1-MLN variant targets Supermicro AOC cards built on Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx silicon. The two suffixes are not interchangeable on hosts that enforce EEPROM validation, so match the optic suffix to the AOC chipset family.

Works on Supermicro AOC cards built on Intel XXV710 and Intel E810 silicon. For broader Intel NIC deployments outside the Supermicro AOC range (standalone Intel XXV710 adapters or Intel E810 reference NICs), the equivalent Intel-coded EdgeOptic part is LTF8505-BC-IN, a separate SKU.

On E810-based Supermicro AOC cards, confirm the NIC is running a current NVM release before deployment; consult Supermicro AOC release notes and Intel E810 NVM release notes for the firmware version applicable to your AOC SKU. This caveat is E810-specific and does not apply to XXV710-based AOC cards, which use a different silicon and NVM architecture.

DOM telemetry covering transmit power, receive power, temperature, laser bias, and supply voltage is accessible via the Intel NIC driver on Linux and Intel diagnostic utilities on Windows Server. Supermicro BMC sensor data via IPMI or Redfish exposes chassis-level thermal and power telemetry, not NIC-side SFP DOM. Operating temperature range is 0 to 70 °C case (commercial).
