Description

The SFP-25G-MR-SR-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Arista SFP-25G-MR-SR. This dual-rate SFP28 transceiver operates at either 10G or 25G on the same multi-mode infrastructure, supporting seamless migration from 10GBASE-SR to 25GBASE-SR networks. - IEEE 802.3by (25GBASE-SR) and IEEE 802.3ae (10GBASE-SR) compliance ensures broad interoperability with standard 10G and 25G optics - Dual-rate operation: 70m over OM3 or 100m over OM4 at 25G, extending to 300m over OM3 or 400m over OM4 at 10G - 850nm VCSEL transmitter with LC duplex connector for cost-effective multi-mode fibre deployment - Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) provides real-time visibility into transmit and receive power, temperature, voltage, and bias current - Hot-swappable SFP28 form factor compatible with SFP+ ports for flexible deployment - Backwards compatible with 10GBASE-SR transceivers when operating at 10G, protecting legacy infrastructure investments

Features

• IEEE 802.3by and 802.3ae compliance guarantees optical interoperability with standard 25GBASE-SR and 10GBASE-SR modules from any vendor
• Dual-rate architecture allows the same transceiver to operate at 10.3125 Gbps or 25.78125 Gbps, eliminating the need to stock separate SKUs during network transitions
• Extended 10G reach to 300m/400m over OM3/OM4 bridges the distance gap left by standard 25GBASE-SR optics, which are limited to 70m/100m at 25G
• 850nm VCSEL laser technology with commercial temperature rating (0 to 70°C) suits typical data centre and enterprise rack environments
• Hot-pluggable SFP28 design supports installation and removal without powering down the host switch, maintaining uptime during maintenance
• DOM interface exposes real-time optical parameters over I2C per SFF-8472, enabling proactive fault detection and link budget verification
• Backward compatibility at 10G allows phased upgrades where 25G leaf switches connect to existing 10G spine or storage infrastructure without forklift replacement

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Arista SFP-25G-MR-SR?
A: Yes. The SFP-25G-MR-SR-BCC is a drop-in replacement for the Arista SFP-25G-MR-SR. Both share the same SFP28 form factor, dual-rate 10G/25G capability, 850nm wavelength, and multi-mode fibre specifications. This transceiver is plug-and-play compatible and operates identically to the OEM part.

Q: Which Arista platforms support this transceiver?
A: This transceiver works in any Arista switch with SFP28 or backwards-compatible SFP+ ports that support 10G and 25G operation. Compatibility depends on the port's ability to auto-negotiate or be configured for the desired data rate. Consult Arista's transceiver compatibility matrix for your specific switch model and EOS version.

Q: Why does this transceiver reach 300m at 10G but only 100m at 25G over OM4?
A: The reach difference is due to optical power budget and dispersion limits at higher signalling rates. At 10G, the lower baud rate and relaxed receiver sensitivity allow a greater link loss budget. At 25G, the higher modulation rate requires tighter optical specifications, reducing maximum reach. This extended 10G reach is the key benefit for migrating legacy 10GBASE-SR links to 25G-capable infrastructure.

Q: Can I mix this transceiver with standard 10GBASE-SR or 25GBASE-SR optics on the same link?
A: Yes, when operating at 10G, this transceiver optically interoperates with standard IEEE 10GBASE-SR transceivers. At 25G, it interoperates with 25GBASE-SR optics. Both ends must be configured for the same data rate and use compatible fibre types. Ensure your host switch supports the chosen rate on the specific port.

Q: Does this transceiver require Forward Error Correction (FEC) for full reach operation?
A: FEC requirements depend on the data rate and reach. For 10G operation, FEC is typically not required. For 25G operation at full reach over OM4, some host platforms may require or recommend RS-FEC or BASE-R FEC to achieve error-free performance. Consult your switch configuration guide and test links under load to confirm error rates meet your application requirements.
