About the PAN-SFP-SX
The Palo Alto PAN-SFP-SX optical transceiver delivers reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity across short-reach multimode optical backbones. Operating at 850 nanometers, it transmits data links up to 550 meters on OM2 optical cabling, connecting legacy distribution panels and local security zones to PA-Series firewalls.
Compatibility
Compatible with Palo Alto PA-220, PA-400 Series, PA-800 Series, PA-1400 Series, and PA-3200 Series firewalls equipped with SFP or dual-speed SFP+ ports. It provides immediate plug-and-play operation under PAN-OS without requiring manual driver installation.
How to identify a genuine unit
Enclosed in a compact SFP metallic casing with a black optical extraction latch bail indicating 850nm multimode operation. The top label bears the Palo Alto Networks brand name, model number PAN-SFP-SX, manufacturing serial number barcode, and optical safety compliance information.
Buying used
Inspect the optical bore with a fiber microscope to verify that the lens surfaces are free of contaminants or scratch marks. Seat the module in a live firewall port to verify that PAN-OS detects the transceiver and reports link status at 1000Mbps full duplex.
