5G Optical Transceiver Solutions: SFP28 LR, ER, BIDI BWDM

5G Solution: Unlocking High-Speed Networks with SFP28 LR, ER, and BIDI BWDM Modules

As the global 5G rollout accelerates, the demand for cost-effective, long-reach, and scalable optical transceiver solutions is higher than ever. Key components enabling this evolution are 25G SFP28 LR, SFP28 ER, and SFP28 BIDI BWDM transceivers — offering robust performance in access, fronthaul, and midhaul network segments.

SFP28 LR: Reliable 10–20 km Connectivity

The SFP28 LR (Long Reach) transceiver provides up to 10–20 km transmission over single-mode fiber (SMF) at 1310 nm, using standard LC connectors. Its low power consumption, stable eye diagram, and superior error margin make it ideal for 5G fronthaul applications between the baseband unit (BBU) and remote radio unit (RRU).

SFP28 ER: Extended Reach up to 40 km

When your deployment needs exceed 20 km, the SFP28 ER (Extended Reach) module becomes essential. Supporting up to 40 km reach with superior dispersion compensation and FEC (Forward Error Correction) compatibility, it ensures lossless transmission across rural or dispersed 5G architectures.

SFP28 BIDI BWDM: Single-Fiber Savings for Dense Urban Networks

The SFP28 BIDI BWDM (Bidirectional Wavelength Division Multiplexing) transceivers allow two-way data transmission over a single fiber using two different wavelengths (e.g., TX 1270 nm / RX 1330 nm). This significantly reduces fiber cabling in urban 5G deployments — saving on infrastructure cost while doubling fiber utilization.

Scalable with QSFPDD 800G: From Edge to Core

As edge bandwidth requirements grow, many network operators are upgrading aggregation and core layers with QSFPDD 800G transceivers. These modules offer 8x100G PAM4 transmission, ideal for 5G backhaul and data center interconnects (DCI). Combined with high-density leaf-spine architectures, QSFPDD 800G ensures future-proof scalability with low latency and high throughput.

Built by a Taiwan AI Optical Transceiver TAA Manufacturer

All modules — from SFP28 BIDI to 800G QSFP-DD — are proudly designed and manufactured by a Taiwan-based AI optical transceiver TAA-compliant manufacturer. The company ensures top-notch quality control, RoHS/UL/CE compliance, and guaranteed compatibility with global switch and router platforms (Cisco, Arista, Juniper, etc.).

Whether you're building a city-wide 5G infrastructure or upgrading a hyperscale data center, this full-stack optical solution covers access, aggregation, and core needs — all under one trusted brand.
