About the PAN-SFP-PLUS-SR

The Palo Alto PAN-SFP-PLUS-SR optical transceiver provides high density 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for enterprise next-generation firewalls. Operating at an 850 nanometer optical wavelength over multimode fibre, it enables low latency high throughput connections between PA-Series appliances and core enterprise switches.

Compatibility

Compatible with Palo Alto PA-1400, PA-3200, PA-3400, PA-5200, PA-5400, and PA-7000 Series firewalls equipped with 10GbE SFP+ interfaces. It operates under PAN-OS with full native device detection and real-time digital optical monitoring telemetry across enterprise deployments.

How to identify a genuine unit

Enclosed in a standard SFP+ metallic casing featuring a black optical extraction latch bail that designates 850nm multimode optical operation. The top label bears the Palo Alto Networks logo, model identifier PAN-SFP-PLUS-SR, serial number barcode, and optical safety compliance information.

Buying used

Inspect the dual LC optical receptacle with a fiber microscope to verify clean optical surfaces free of scratches or debris. Mount into an active PA-Series SFP+ cage to confirm that PAN-OS authenticates the transceiver and displays valid optical power readings in system interface hardware state.

Works together

How the Palo Alto PAN-SFP-PLUS-SR connects to servers, storage and the network: 3 ways, with the hardware on each path.

iSCSI and NVMe/TCP over EthernetFile storage (NFS and SMB)Hyperconverged cluster

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.

Storage

iSCSI and NVMe/TCP over Ethernet: how it fits together

File storage (NFS and SMB)

Front-end ports face the clients; back-end ports (on scale-out systems) connect the nodes to each other and need their own switch pair.

Hyperconverged cluster

Plan at least two 25GbE ports per node to two switches; all-NVMe clusters often move to 100GbE.
