Palo Alto Networks compatible PAN-T-Q-40GBASE-LR4 Description
EdgeOptic's PAN-T-Q-40GBASE-LR4 compatible is a Palo Alto-coded version of the EdgeOptic 40G-QSFP-10 multi-vendor 40GBASE-LR4 transceiver. PAN-T-Q-40GBASE-LR4 is Palo Alto Networks' TAA-compliant ordering code for this 40GBASE-LR4 QSFP+, optically identical to the standard PAN-QSFP-40GBASE-LR4 part number; the EdgeOptic compatible is coded to match that ordering code and carries the same optical specification.
The module runs 40GBASE-LR4 over single-mode fiber to 10 km using four CWDM channels at 1271, 1291, 1311 and 1331 nm with NRZ modulation, terminating in a double LC/UPC duplex connector. A DFB laser drives a per-lane launch power of −6 to +3 dBm, and the PIN photodiode receiver delivers a per-lane sensitivity of −12.6 dBm with an overload point of +3 dBm. Average link budget is 6.6 dB. The transceiver operates across a 0 to 70 °C case temperature range and reports live diagnostics through DOM/DDM. It conforms to IEEE 802.3ba Clause 87, the QSFP+ MSA, INF-8438i and SFF-8436.
The optic is designed for Palo Alto Networks PA-series NGFW platforms with QSFP+ ports; verify the optic against the Palo Alto transceiver compatibility guide for your specific platform and PAN-OS version before deployment. EdgeOptic codes the EEPROM so the host recognizes the module without any override step. Palo Alto Networks' third-party component support policy notes that support may be withheld if a fault is traced to a third-party component, so confirm the device qualification path for your environment.
Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty. For ordering questions or platform verification, contact our sales team.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between PAN-T-Q-40GBASE-LR4 and PAN-QSFP-40GBASE-LR4?
They are the same 40GBASE-LR4 QSFP+ optic under two Palo Alto Networks ordering codes. The PAN-T- prefix designates Palo Alto's TAA-compliant ordering channel for federal and government procurement, while PAN-QSFP-40GBASE-LR4 is the standard ordering code. Per Palo Alto Networks ordering conventions both reference an optically identical module. The EdgeOptic compatible is coded to match the PAN-T-Q-40GBASE-LR4 part number; it is not itself a TAA-certified build, so confirm any TAA procurement requirement against your purchasing channel.
Does Palo Alto Networks support third-party transceivers in PAN-OS firewalls?
Palo Alto Networks' third-party component support policy states that support and warranty may be withheld if a fault is traced to a third-party component. EdgeOptic codes the EEPROM so the host recognizes the module without requiring any override step, but Palo Alto does not officially certify third-party transceivers. Verify the optic against the Palo Alto transceiver guide for your PAN-OS version before deployment.
