Palo Alto Networks compatible PAN-QSFP28-100GBASE-LR4 Description
PAN-QSFP28-100GBASE-LR4 is Palo Alto Networks’ part number for a 100GBASE-LR4 QSFP28 transceiver, deployed in their next-generation firewall platforms. EdgeOptic’s compatible replacement is built on our 100G-QSFP28-10 platform and ships with Palo Alto-recognized EEPROM coding. The module provides a direct functional replacement for the original Palo Alto optic in high-throughput security infrastructure where 100G single-mode connectivity is required.
The 100GBASE-LR4 specification uses four LAN WDM channels at 1295.56, 1300.05, 1304.58, and 1309.14 nm, each carrying 25G NRZ modulation for an aggregate data rate of 103.1 Gbps. The optical interface is duplex LC/UPC on G.652 single-mode fiber with a maximum reach of 10 km per IEEE 802.3ba. The module conforms to the QSFP28 MSA and supports DDM monitoring of per-lane Tx/Rx optical power, module temperature, supply voltage, and laser bias current. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C.
Palo Alto’s PA-5400 series (PA-5410, PA-5420, PA-5430, PA-5440) and PA-7000 series chassis are the primary platforms for the PAN-QSFP28-100GBASE-LR4. The PA-5400 line positions as a high-throughput firewall for data center edge and campus core, while the PA-7000 serves large enterprise and service provider environments with modular line cards. In both platform families, QSFP28 ports handle 100G firewall throughput connections to the data center switching fabric. PAN-OS reports transceiver status and DDM values through the CLI (operational-mode show commands) and through the Panorama centralized management interface for multi-firewall deployments.
Palo Alto uses the PAN- prefix for all platform-qualified transceivers. Don’t confuse Palo Alto QSFP28 part numbers with similar SKUs from switch or router vendors; the EEPROM coding is specific to PAN-OS validation. Firewall environments often enforce stricter optic validation policies than switching infrastructure, and an incorrectly coded module may be rejected at the PAN-OS hardware inventory check. EdgeOptic produces a dedicated compatible for the PAN-QSFP28-100GBASE-LR4 with the correct Palo Alto EEPROM profile, ensuring PAN-OS identifies it as a supported transceiver with full DDM telemetry. In regulated environments where firewall hardware configurations are subject to change-control audits.
EdgeOptic backs this compatible with a lifetime warranty and CE/RoHS certification. For security infrastructure optic requirements or volume pricing, contact our sales team All EdgeOptic QSFP28 modules are tested before dispatch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Palo Alto firewall models support the PAN-QSFP28-100GBASE-LR4?
The PAN-QSFP28-100GBASE-LR4 is listed for the PA-5400 series (PA-5410, PA-5420, PA-5430, PA-5440) and PA-7000 series chassis with QSFP28-equipped line cards. Both platform families use QSFP28 ports for 100G firewall throughput connections.
Does PAN-OS display DDM values for the EdgeOptic compatible?
Yes. PAN-OS reports transceiver DDM telemetry (per-lane Tx/Rx power, temperature, voltage, bias current) through CLI operational commands and the Panorama centralized management interface. EdgeOptic’s compatible provides full DDM data identical to the original Palo Alto optic.
Can Palo Alto optics be used interchangeably with Cisco or Arista QSFP28 modules?
No. Palo Alto uses PAN-OS-specific EEPROM coding for transceiver validation. A Cisco- or Arista-coded QSFP28 will not be recognized by PAN-OS and may be rejected at the hardware inventory check. EdgeOptic produces a dedicated Palo Alto compatible with the correct PAN- EEPROM profile.
