SFP28 is a 25 Gbit/s interface which evolved from the 100 Gigabit Ethernet interface which is typically implemented with 4 by 25 Gbit/s data lanes. Identical in mechanical dimensions to SFP and SFP+, SFP28 implements one 28 Gbit/s lane accommodating 25 Gbit/s of data with. SFP28 modules send data very fast, up to 25Gbps. This helps networks move more data quickly and easily. This makes it easy to upgrade without buying all new equipment. These hot-pluggable optical modules consume low-power and are ofered in the extended temperature range. When used with Intel® Ethernet Network. The Cisco® 25GBASE SFP28 (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) portfolio offers customers a wide variety of high-density and low-power 25 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity options for data center and high-performance computing networks applications.
