You're just starting to understand the different types of cabling options. It's okay if you're not familiar with all the details yet. Let's break this down. You need a SFP28 port for 25GbE outside a cabinet that contains a Supermicro server. The server is in a custom case with hard-to-reach back access, and you're looking for a professional setup that lets you connect without opening the case. You also plan to add an RJ45 panel on the outside for a 1GbE connection. Since you can find similar parts at Home Depot and working with Cat7 twisted pair is easy, you might want to explore comparable solutions for the SFP28 port. What components would be needed for that?

You're looking for a fiber optic wall plate instead of an SFP+/SFP28 model. Those connectors are typically found on network devices and can't be extended. You need a standard fiber wall plate—something like the one listed here works well. https://www.fs.com/c/fiber-optic-wall-plates-1003

You can avoid a wall plate by using an LC-LC keystone coupler and fitting it into any standard 2 or 4 port wall plate.

Check the specifications for the SFP28 connector on your 25GbE card and ensure it matches the fiber optic cable size required for the wall plate.

It varies based on whether your SFP28 is single or multimode; you'll require LC-LC cable and the appropriate cable type for that mode.
