About the PAN-SFP-PLUS-LR
The Palo Alto PAN-SFP-PLUS-LR optical transceiver delivers long-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet transport for campus backbones and metropolitan disaster recovery links. Utilizing a 1310 nanometer DFB laser transmitter over single mode optical fibre, it bridges geographically separated enterprise buildings up to 10 kilometers without amplification.
Compatibility
Compatible with Palo Alto PA-1400, PA-3200, PA-3400, PA-5200, PA-5400, and PA-7000 Series firewalls. It integrates natively into PAN-OS, supporting real-time Digital Optical Monitoring of transmit power, receive sensitivity, and laser operating temperature.
How to identify a genuine unit
Housed in an SFP+ metallic enclosure with a blue extraction latch bail that designates longwave single mode optical transmission. The product label clearly displays Palo Alto Networks branding, part designation PAN-SFP-PLUS-LR, serial tracking barcode, and international regulatory certifications.
Buying used
Inspect optical ferrule surfaces for oil contamination or dust particles using a fiber inspection tool. Connect the optic into a live firewall port to verify clean link synchronization at 10Gbps full duplex and ensure optical power levels remain within factory parameters.

Works together
How the Palo Alto PAN-SFP-PLUS-LR connects to servers, storage and the network: 3 ways, with the hardware on each path.
iSCSI and NVMe/TCP over Ethernet
Keep the speed the same at all three points: a 25GbE server, a 25GbE switch port and a 25GbE array port. Mixed speeds work but the slowest link sets the pace.
