Dell 407-BCHI — 25GbE SFP28 SR Optic for PowerEdge
25GbESFP28 SR850 nm85 °C rated
The Dell 407-BCHI is Dell’s SFP28 SR optic for 25GbE, an 850 nm short-reach multimode transceiver rated to 85 °C, with enhanced digital diagnostics. Dell sells it as a customer-install part for all SFP28 ports on a long list of PowerEdge servers and PowerVault ME5 storage arrays, so it is the optic to order when a server’s 25G network card or OCP adapter needs a fibre connection to the switch. In practice, multimode optics are the cheaper choice for links inside one building: most server rooms and floor risers already carry OM3 or OM4 fibre, and the module plus a short patch cord is all a port needs. Before you order, check the fibre grade printed on the cable jacket and the real length of the run, including patch panels.
Compatibility — check before buying:
This is an SFP28 optic, not QSFP28 — it fits the SFP28 ports on PowerEdge network cards and OCP adapters, not QSFP28 ports. Dell does not publish the reach or the connector for this part, so check the run length with us. Similar Dell parts differ: 407-BCBF is an Intel-specific SFP28 SR kit, and 407-BBXU is the switch-side SFP28 SR optic. Keep the dust cap on until you connect the fibre, and clean both connector ends before every mating — dirt is the most common cause of a link that will not come up. Not sure? Send us your device model and the cable run and we check it before you order.
Best For
✓ 25G fibre links from PowerEdge servers
✓ SFP28 NICs and OCP adapters
✓ PowerVault ME5 host ports
✓ Server-to-top-of-rack switch links
✓ Replacing a failed Dell optic
✓ Hot server rooms (85 °C rated optic)
Key Features
Made for Dell servers
Dell lists it for all SFP28 ports on its compatible PowerEdge servers and PowerVault ME5 arrays, so the system recognises it as a Dell part.
Short-reach multimode
An 850 nm SR optic for the short runs between a server and its top-of-rack switch over multimode fibre. Dell does not publish the reach for this part, so plan the run with us.
Monitoring you can read
Digital diagnostics (enhanced DDM) let the host report temperature, laser power and received light, so a dirty connector or a failing link shows up before users call.
Hot-swappable
Modules plug into a live port without shutting the switch down, so a link can be added or replaced during working hours. Seat it until it clicks and use the latch to remove it.
Technical Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
We order the 407-BCHI for PowerEdge and PowerVault customers who want a Dell-branded optic in the server, so that support stays with one vendor. Match it with a 25G SR optic in the switch, and keep the run short on OM3 or OM4 fibre. If the adapter in your server is an Intel card, ask us whether Dell’s Intel-specific 407-BCBF is the better fit. Every order is backed by Singular’s local support in Cyprus — if a link will not come up, send us the port status and we help you find out whether it is the module, the cable or the configuration. Browse all transceivers and DAC cables or the switches they plug into.
Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
You need a 25G SR optic for an SFP28 port on a listed PowerEdge server or PowerVault ME5 array.
Skip it if
Your port is QSFP28, your server is not on Dell’s list, or the link needs single-mode fibre.
Also consider
Dell 407-BCBF for Intel SFP28 adapters, or 407-BBXU for the switch side.
