• 10GBASE-CSR and 25GBASE-CSR standards enable full interoperability with both 10GBASE-SR and 25GBASE-SR optics, supporting mixed-speed deployments and providing a migration path that preserves existing OM3/OM4 cabling infrastructure
• Dual-rate capability operates at both 10 Gbps and 25 Gbps on the same physical layer, allowing network upgrades without replacing transceivers across the entire link
• Extended reach to 300m on OM3 and 400m on OM4 at both 10G and 25G speeds bridges the distance gap where standard 25GBASE-SR optics are limited to 70m and 100m respectively
• FEC (Forward Error Correction) support on host ports enables full-reach operation at 25G, maintaining signal integrity over longer multi-mode fiber runs
• Hot-swappable operation with automatic data rate negotiation allows in-service insertion and removal without disrupting adjacent ports or requiring manual configuration
• 850nm VCSEL technology with integrated PIN photodetector provides low power consumption under 1W while maintaining reliable performance across commercial temperature ranges
• MSA-compliant SFP28 footprint ensures physical and electrical compatibility across multi-vendor platforms, with uniquely serialized EEPROM for accurate host identification
