About the PAN-SFP-T
The Palo Alto PAN-SFP-T copper transceiver provides flexible twisted pair connectivity by adapting an SFP slot into an 8-pin RJ-45 modular interface. It delivers 1000Mbps throughput up to 100 meters, making it practical for connecting copper patch panels, out-of-band management switches, and local WAN modems 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 ports. It allows administrators to expand RJ-45 copper port count without deploying external interface media converters or dedicated expansion switches.
How to identify a genuine unit
Housed in a sturdy metal SFP casing featuring an integrated RJ-45 modular socket with a spring release latch mechanism. The top label bears the Palo Alto Networks brand identifier, part number PAN-SFP-T, manufacturing serial barcode, and regulatory compliance markings.
Buying used
Inspect internal RJ-45 contact pins for bending, oxidation, or debris. Insert the transceiver into a firewall SFP port, connect a patch cable, and verify that auto-negotiation reliably synchronizes at 1000BASE-T full duplex with clean packet transmission statistics.
