QNAP Optical Transceiver 25GBE SFP28 LC-LC 850NM SR UP TO 100M

The QNAP TRX25GSFP28SR is a 25GbE SFP28 optical transceiver with LC-LC connectors and 850nm SR signaling, designed for QNAP network setups that need short-range fiber links up to 100 meters.

Recommended For

• Video and post-production teams moving large media files between a QNAP 25GbE NAS and workstations over LC multimode fiber.
• IT teams connecting compatible QNAP 25GbE NAS, network cards, or switches across a fiber run of up to 100 meters.
• Organizations upgrading SAN or shared-storage backbones so multiple workstations can access high-bandwidth storage concurrently.
• Server and virtualization teams that need a fiber link between compatible SFP28 ports and already have an appropriate LC multimode-fiber path.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• A video team connects a 25GbE workstation or switch to a compatible NAS to work with shared high-resolution footage; access can feel more responsive when the NAS storage and the rest of the network can keep up.
• An IT team moves large datasets or backup files between a high-capacity NAS and a server over a 25GbE link; transfers can finish sooner than on a slower link when the storage drives and workload are not the bottleneck.
• A business links a 25GbE NAS or server to a switch across a room or between racks using fiber; this SR transceiver is intended for compatible links up to 100 m, with matching optics and suitable fiber required at the other end.
• Several workstations access shared storage or network applications at once; a 25GbE backbone can provide more aggregate bandwidth and help reduce link congestion when multiple users are active.
• A server or virtualization cluster uses a 25GbE switch connection for storage and inter-server traffic; the faster link can support heavier data movement, though actual application performance still depends on the servers, storage, and network configuration.
