Palo Alto Networks compatible PAN-QSFP28-100GBASE-CWDM4 Description
EdgeOptic's PAN-QSFP28-100GBASE-CWDM4 compatible is a Palo Alto Networks-coded CWDM4 QSFP28 version of the EdgeOptic 100G-QSFP28-2.1 multi-vendor 100G CWDM4 2km transceiver. Palo Alto Networks lists the OEM optic in its Interface and Transceiver Specifications as a 100 Gb CWDM4 QSFP28 supplied across the PA-7000, PA-5400, and PA-3400 next-generation firewall lines.
The module runs four CWDM channels on the 1271, 1291, 1311, and 1331 nm wavelength plan defined by the CWDM4 MSA and ITU-T G.694.2, with NRZ modulation across each lane. Output uses a duplex LC connector and supports 2 km links over G.652 single-mode fibre. The optical front end uses DML transmitters and PIN receivers, with host-side FEC supported per the CWDM4 MSA Technical Specification. Operating temperature spans the commercial 0 to 70 °C range.
The PAN-QSFP28-100GBASE-CWDM4 covers 100 Gigabit Ethernet on Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewall appliances, which operate as Ethernet-only security platforms at the QSFP28 cage. The EdgeOptic 100G-QSFP28-2.1 family additionally supports OTU4 (112 Gbps) and 4x32G Fibre Channel (112.2 Gbps) variants for OTN transport and SAN deployments on platforms that carry those framers. Those rates ship as separate part numbers and target router or storage chassis rather than NGFW appliances, so for OTU4 or Fibre Channel coding contact our sales team.
Palo Alto Networks lists PAN-QSFP28-100GBASE-CWDM4 across the PA-7000 series chassis, the PA-5400 series (PA-5450, PA-5440, PA-5430, PA-5420, PA-5410), the PA-5250, PA-5260, PA-5280, and the PA-3430 and PA-3440. Engineers running 100G uplinks between firewall clusters or peering an NGFW edge to upstream 100G data-center switching cover the 2 km span over a single fibre pair with this optic on both ends. Verify the supported slot and PAN-OS version against the Palo Alto Networks interface specifications for the appliance in service.
EdgeOptic codes the PAN-QSFP28-100GBASE-CWDM4 compatible with Palo Alto Networks-recognized EEPROM, so PAN-OS initializes the interface under standard transceiver validation. The EEPROM identifies the optic against the PAN-QSFP28-100GBASE-CWDM4 part number, so chassis inventory and SNMP transceiver tables report the module consistently with Palo Alto Networks OEM stock.
Digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) report TX power, RX power, bias current, supply voltage, and temperature per SFF-8636. The module is QSFP28 MSA SFF-8665 compliant and aligned with the CWDM4 MSA Technical Specification.
Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will EdgeOptic's PAN-QSFP28-100GBASE-CWDM4 compatible raise a third-party transceiver warning on PAN-OS?
EdgeOptic codes the PAN-QSFP28-100GBASE-CWDM4 compatible with Palo Alto Networks-recognized EEPROM, so PAN-OS registers the module against the PAN-QSFP28-100GBASE-CWDM4 part number under standard transceiver validation. The interface comes up without the third-party transceiver behavior that Palo Alto Networks support documentation flags for non-PAN-coded optics, and chassis inventory reports the module consistently with PAN OEM stock.
