Description

The PAN-SFP-PLUS-SR-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Palo Alto PAN-SFP-PLUS-SR. This transceiver provides plug-and-play compatibility with Palo Alto Networks firewall platforms equipped with SFP+ interfaces. - IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-SR compliance guarantees interoperability with standards-compliant 10 Gigabit Ethernet equipment - SFP+ form factor supporting 10.3 Gbps data rate over multi-mode fibre at 850nm wavelength via duplex LC connector - Reaches up to 300m on OM3 fibre or 400m on OM4 fibre, with DOM support for real-time optical parameter monitoring - VCSEL laser technology operating at 850nm in the 0 to 70 degree Celsius commercial temperature range - Hot-pluggable design with low power consumption under 1W and compliance with SFF-8431 and SFF-8432 standards - Suitable for data centre, enterprise network, and service provider 10G short-reach applications over multimode infrastructure

Features

• IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-SR compliance ensures the module initializes correctly on any standards-compliant 10G Ethernet port and maintains interoperability across multi-vendor environments without vendor lock-in
• 64b/66b encoding at 10.3125 Gbps line rate delivers high bandwidth efficiency with only 3.125% overhead, enabling accurate clock recovery and maximizing usable throughput for latency-sensitive applications
• 850nm VCSEL transmitter optimized for OM3 and OM4 laser-optimized multimode fibre provides lower cost and lower power operation compared to single-mode alternatives while maintaining relaxed optical alignment tolerances for field reliability
• Digital Diagnostics Monitoring via SFF-8472 two-wire serial interface provides real-time access to temperature, supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, and receive power with configurable alarm thresholds
• Hot-pluggable SFP+ MSA form factor enables installation and removal without powering down the host platform, supporting incremental network expansion and maintenance without service interruption
• Low power draw under 1W per module reduces heat generation in high-density switch environments and extends platform thermal headroom, critical for chassis with 24+ SFP+ ports in confined rack spaces
• OM4 fibre support extends reach to 400m with higher modal bandwidth (4700 MHz·km vs 2000 MHz·km for OM3), delivering improved link margin in patch-panel-heavy data centre or campus installations

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Palo Alto PAN-SFP-PLUS-SR?
A: Yes. This transceiver is designed as a plug-and-play replacement for the PAN-SFP-PLUS-SR. It matches the SFP+ form factor, 10.3 Gbps data rate, 850nm wavelength, and IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-SR standard of the original module, ensuring it initializes and performs identically in Palo Alto SFP+ ports.

Q: Which Palo Alto platforms support this transceiver?
A: This module is compatible with Palo Alto Networks platforms equipped with 10G SFP+ interfaces, including PA-7000 Series, PA-5200 Series, PA-5060, PA-5050, PA-3060, PA-850, and M-500. Any Palo Alto device with an SFP+ port supporting IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-SR will accept this transceiver.

Q: What is the actual reach on OM3 versus OM4 fibre and why does it differ?
A: Reach is 300m on OM3 fibre and 400m on OM4 fibre. The difference is due to modal bandwidth: OM3 provides 2000 MHz·km at 850nm while OM4 provides 4700 MHz·km. Higher modal bandwidth reduces modal dispersion at 10 Gbps data rates, allowing the optical signal to maintain integrity over longer distances before exceeding the bit error rate threshold.

Q: Can this transceiver operate at 1G speeds on dual-rate ports?
A: The module supports multi-rate operation from 1.25 Gbps to 11.3 Gbps per SFF-8431, which includes 1000BASE-SX at 1.25 Gbps. However, the host platform SFP+ port must support rate-select or dual-rate 1G/10G signaling. Not all Palo Alto SFP+ ports support 1G operation, so confirm platform-specific rate compatibility before deployment at 1G speeds.

Q: What happens if I use OM2 fibre instead of OM3 or OM4?
A: OM2 fibre has only 500 MHz·km modal bandwidth at 850nm, which limits 10GBASE-SR reach to approximately 82m per IEEE 802.3ae due to modal dispersion at 10 Gbps line rates. If your installation uses OM2, keep runs under 80m or upgrade to OM3 or OM4 fibre to achieve the full 300m to 400m reach without requiring mode conditioning patch cords.
