Palo Alto Networks compatible PAN-SFP-PLUS-LR Description
The EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-10 is a compatible replacement for the Palo Alto Networks PAN-SFP-PLUS-LR 10GBASE-LR SFP+ transceiver. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over single-mode fiber at 1310nm with a maximum reach of 10km, using a duplex LC/UPC connector. The module is EEPROM coded for Palo Alto platforms. PAN-OS does not block third-party modules from passing traffic.
The transmitter uses a 1310nm DFB laser with an output power range of –8.2dBm to +0.5dBm. The receiver uses a PIN photodiode with a sensitivity of –14.4dBm at BER 1E-12 and a maximum input power of –1dBm. The maximum channel insertion loss is 6.7dB per IEEE 802.3ae over ITU-T G.652 single-mode fiber. The operating wavelength range is 1260nm to 1355nm. Line rate is 10.3125 Gbps with 64B/66B encoding.
This module is compatible with Palo Alto PA-7000, PA-5400, PA-5200, PA-5000, PA-3400, PA-3200, and PA-3060 series firewalls with SFP+ ports. It also works in Prisma SD-WAN ION appliances with SFP+ interfaces — consult the Prisma SD-WAN hardware compatibility list for supported models. Any Palo Alto platform with SFP+ ports that lists PAN-SFP-PLUS-LR in its supported optics table can use this module.
Palo Alto uses the PAN-SFP-PLUS prefix for its SFP+ transceiver line. PAN-SFP-PLUS-LR is the long-reach single-mode variant (1310nm, 10km). PAN-SFP-PLUS-SR is the short-reach multimode variant (850nm, 300m on OM3, 400m on OM4). The LR variant is typically used for inter-building and campus backbone links over single-mode fiber.
Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) is supported per SFF-8472. Monitored parameters include TX/RX optical power, laser bias current, temperature, and supply voltage. The module is MSA compliant and classified as Class 1 laser safe per IEC 60825-1. It carries CE and RoHS certification, operates at 0°C to 70°C (commercial temperature), and draws under 1W typical.
The PAN-SFP-PLUS-LR operates over standard OS2 single-mode fiber. The minimum recommended link length is 2 meters to avoid receiver saturation; for shorter patch cables, an inline optical attenuator (5–10dB) is recommended. The module uses a bail-clasp latch mechanism and supports hot-swappable insertion in SFP+ cage types.
G.652 single-mode fiber has an attenuation of approximately 0.35 dB/km at 1310nm. Over a 10km span, fiber loss consumes about 3.5 dB of the optical power budget, leaving ~2.5 dB margin once connector and splice losses are accounted for. For spans near the 10km limit, measure installed attenuation with an OTDR before commissioning.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Palo Alto firewalls support the PAN-SFP-PLUS-LR?
The PAN-SFP-PLUS-LR is supported on PA-7000, PA-5400, PA-5200, PA-5000, PA-3400, PA-3200, and PA-3060 series firewalls with SFP+ ports. Prisma SD-WAN ION appliances with SFP+ interfaces also accept this module — check the Prisma SD-WAN hardware compatibility list for specific models.
Does PAN-OS block third-party SFP+ modules?
PAN-OS logs the transceiver vendor identity but does not block third-party modules from passing traffic. Check transceiver status in the PAN-OS web UI under Network > Interfaces, or use the CLI operational mode commands for interface diagnostics.
What is the difference between PAN-SFP-PLUS-LR and PAN-SFP-PLUS-SR?
Both are Palo Alto SFP+ transceivers for different fiber types and distances. LR uses 1310nm over single-mode fiber for up to 10km. SR uses 850nm over multimode fiber for up to 300m (OM3) or 400m (OM4).
How do I check transceiver optical levels on PAN-OS?
In the PAN-OS web UI, go to Network > Interfaces and select the SFP+ port to view transceiver details including DDM readings. Verify TX power is within –8.2 to +0.5dBm and RX power is between –14.4dBm and –1dBm. RX power below –14.4dBm indicates excessive fiber loss; above –1dBm indicates receiver saturation.
