Project Documentation and Traceability
Large deployments are easier to audit when the order code, optical standard and endpoint record agree. Keep the OEM reference in the compatibility document and the HT part number on the packing list. Labels and carton groups can be arranged by rack or port plan so installers need not identify modules by appearance. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 25.78Gbps, wavelength 1330nm-TX/1270nm-RX, rated reach 10km.
Brocade Compatibility and Factory Testing
Compatibility testing for 25G-SFP28-BXD combines identification with a live link and available transmit, receive and alarm information. Connector condition is inspected separately. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.
Applications and Optical Link Design
This BiDi interface is useful where only one fiber strand is available between two sites or racks. It must be paired with the complementary wavelength direction: one end transmits on the wavelength that the other end receives. Verify the paired part number, connector polish and fiber plant before installation, and measure link loss against the specified optical budget.
Before deployment, check the host port type, supported data rate and firmware requirements. The 25G interface configuration must match the remote equipment; sharing a SFP28 housing alone does not make two transceiver types interoperable.
This single-fiber interface must be paired with the complementary wavelength direction. One end transmits on the wavelength the other receives. Verify connector polish and measure loss over the 10km design range before service.
Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling
For this model, the specified transmit-power range is -2~4dBm; receiver sensitivity is <-13dBm; the stated optical power budget is 11dB. Digital diagnostics make later maintenance easier when baseline values are captured at installation. Save the initial readings with the port and OEM reference, then investigate meaningful changes rather than reacting to a single transient value. Diagnostic support depends on the host as well as the module, so unavailable fields should be confirmed with the platform documentation. Before every insertion, keep dust caps in place until the patch lead is ready, avoid touching the optical end face and use an appropriate inspection and cleaning procedure. Do not look into an active optical interface.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original Brocade transceiver?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies 25G-SFP28-BXD, not an original Brocade-branded module.
Which fiber and connector are required?
Use Simplex LC with SMF. The specified maximum reach is 10km, subject to fiber quality and total link loss.
Can it be mixed with another wavelength or reach version?
Only when the two ends share the same optical standard, wavelength plan and supported data rate. Check the exact part numbers and link budget rather than relying only on the module form factor.
Ordering Information
Quote HT part number 25G-SFP28-BXD together with OEM reference 25G-SFP28-BXD and quantity. Add the host model and software release when pre-order verification is required. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production lead times confirmed for larger quantities. International courier, air freight and sea freight are available; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
Before packing, the module receives interface inspection, identification and link checks. Protective packaging avoids pressure on the connector and latch. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.
