25GBASE-SR SFP28 Transceiver

The Axiom 10501-AX is a 25GBASE-SR SFP28 transceiver designed for short-range 25 gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fibre. It operates at an 850nm wavelength and uses a duplex LC connector to reach distances up to 100 metres. The module is pre-configured with an application-specific code for OEM compatibility and is fully compliant with the multi-sourcing agreement (MSA).

Network engineers upgrading 25G links

This module suits network engineers deploying or upgrading 25GBASE-SR connections within data centres or campus networks where 100 metre reach over multimode fibre is sufficient. It is not intended for buyers who need longer reach over single-mode fibre or who require a different form factor such as QSFP28 for aggregation layers.

Pre-coded OEM compatibility

Each transceiver ships pre-configured with a vendor-specific code that matches the routing or switching platform, eliminating the need for manual programming. Unique part numbering and serialisation simplify inventory tracking and prevent address conflicts. MSA compliance ensures mechanical and electrical fit in any compliant SFP28 cage without additional adapters or software licences.

Questions about this item

Does my switch need an SFP28 cage to accept the 10501-AX transceiver?

Yes, the module uses the SFP28 form factor and requires a compatible SFP28 port on the host switch or router.

Will the 10501-AX link with legacy 10GBASE-SR optics over the same OM3 multimode fibre?

No, the 25GBASE-SR interface negotiates at 25 Gb/s and will not establish a link with 10 Gb/s SR transceivers.

How can I confirm the 10501-AX is operating at the correct 850nm wavelength after installation?

Check the switch port diagnostics or DOM read-out; the reported wavelength should read 850nm and the link speed should show 25 Gb/s.
