Palo Alto Networks compatible PAN-QSFP-40GBASE-LR4 Description
EdgeOptic's PAN-QSFP-40GBASE-LR4 compatible is a Palo Alto Networks-coded version of the EdgeOptic 40G-QSFP-10 multi-vendor 40GBASE-LR4 transceiver. It programs with EEPROM the firewall reads as a Palo Alto part, so a QSFP+ port on a PA-Series chassis brings the 40G link up cleanly.
The module carries 40 Gigabit Ethernet (41.25 Gbps) over four CWDM lanes at 1271, 1291, 1311 and 1331 nm, combined onto a single-mode duplex LC pair for 10 km of reach. A DFB laser drives each lane at −6 to +3 dBm, and the PIN receiver holds a per-lane sensitivity of −12.6 dBm with a +3 dBm overload point, for a 6.6 dB optical link budget. It meets IEEE 802.3ba Clause 87 and the QSFP+ MSA (SFF-8436, INF-8438i), and reports temperature, voltage, bias and optical power through DOM.
PAN-QSFP-40GBASE-LR4 is Palo Alto's QSFP+ LR4 ordering code for PA-Series next-generation firewalls, which are Ethernet data-plane platforms, so the module runs 40GbE only. EdgeOptic codes the optic to the Palo Alto EEPROM profile so a PA-Series firewall recognizes it on its QSFP+ data-plane ports. Firewall models and software releases vary in which optics they accept, so verify the part against Palo Alto's transceiver compatibility matrix for your model before ordering replacements.
Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty. For volume pricing or coding questions, contact our sales team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Palo Alto block third-party QSFP+ transceivers on PA-Series firewalls?
No. PA-Series firewalls operate with compatible third-party optics, and there is no hard lockout. Under Palo Alto's third-party components support policy, if a fault is traced to a third-party part, support for that specific issue may be withheld. The module itself links up and reports DOM normally. Check Palo Alto's current third-party components support policy if support coverage is a concern for your deployment.
