Brocade XBR-SFP25G1270-30 Compatible 25G SFP28 Transceiver Module
Built for hosts recognizing XBR-SFP25G1270-30, this HT-manufactured SFP28 module delivers 25G transmission at 1270nm. Its rated reach is 30km, with Duplex LC as the physical interface. The specifications and engineering guidance below support field technicians install, maintain and identify the exact compatible module, while keeping HT manufacture separate from the OEM cross-reference.

Field Installation and Maintenance
Inspect the connector and patch lead before installation, then support the fiber without pulling on the module housing. Release the latch properly during maintenance and keep dust protection on unused interfaces. If a module is removed for later use, retain its part-number label and record its original port. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 25.78Gbps, wavelength 1270nm, rated reach 30km.
Applications and Optical Link Design
Use this module for equipment interconnection over the specified single-mode fiber plant, including enterprise backbone, campus, metro or data-center interconnect links according to its rated distance. Confirm that both ends use the same optical standard and wavelength plan, and allow for connector, splice and patch-panel loss within the stated power 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.
For this 1270nm interface, verify channel spacing and filter compatibility. Passive filters add loss even without active equipment, so assess 30km using the complete channel rather than fiber distance alone.
Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling
For this model, the specified transmit-power range is 0~5dBm; receiver sensitivity is <-13.5dBm; the stated optical power budget is 13.5dB. 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. Diagnostic monitoring is listed as Supported. 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.
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.
Brocade Compatibility and Factory Testing
Factory verification starts with the expected XBR-SFP25G1270-30 identity and finishes with an operating host link. EEPROM data, diagnostic visibility and the stated optical parameters are assessed together. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original Brocade transceiver?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies XBR-SFP25G1270-30, not an original Brocade-branded module.
Which fiber and connector are required?
Use Duplex LC with SMF. The specified maximum reach is 30km, 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
When ordering, specify XBR-SFP25G1270-30, CW-SFP25G30-27, quantity and intended host platform. Project labels can repeat these details for receiving and asset records. 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.
