SFP28 optical transceiver modules
SFP28 ports are 25G speed ports and similar in size to a 10G SFP+ or 1G SFP port. They have supporting circuitry to enable 25G speed transceiver, DAC, and AOC components.
Although 10G and 1G transceiver products may 'fit' into an SFP28 port, the particular switch model or module may be limited in supporting lower speeds.
SFP28 optical transceiver modules provide a transmission rate of 25 Gbps and use LC connectors.
