Palo Alto Networks compatible PAN-T-Q28-100GBASE-LR4 Description
EdgeOptic's PAN-T-Q28-100GBASE-LR4 compatible is a Palo Alto Networks-coded 100GBASE-LR4 QSFP28 transceiver built on our 100G-QSFP28-10 platform. PAN-T-Q28-100GBASE-LR4 is the TAA-compliant ordering code, used for US federal procurement subject to the Trade Agreements Act. The standard supply-chain SKU is PAN-QSFP28-100GBASE-LR4 without the T-prefix. The TAA-compliant designation applies across the T-prefix Palo Alto Networks QSFP28 line, including the SR4 multimode sibling.
Choose the T-variant when the procurement contract requires TAA compliance. Verify current TAA status on Palo Alto Networks' federal-procurement documentation before bid submission. For non-federal deployments without a TAA clause, the standard PAN-QSFP28-100GBASE-LR4 covers the same optical specification at the same reach and budget.
Optical link budget is 6.3 dB per IEEE 802.3ba Clause 88, supporting up to 10 km over OS2 (G.652.D) single-mode fiber. The transceiver uses an EML transmitter array and PIN photodiode receiver running 4-channel LAN-WDM at 1295.56, 1300.05, 1304.58, and 1309.14 nm; per-lane line rate is 25.78125 Gbps NRZ for an aggregate of 103.125 Gbps. The dual LC/UPC connector accepts standard SMF patch cords. Reach in the deployed plant depends on connector loss and fiber attenuation, verify against the link budget at commissioning.
Compatible with PAN-OS firewalls that accept QSFP28 transceivers; documentation for the SR4 sibling (PAN-T-Q28-100GBASE-SR4) covers PA-7000 Series, PA-5400, PA-5250/5260/5280, and PA-3430/3440. Verify against Palo Alto Networks' transceiver compatibility guide for the LR4-specific qualification and the PAN-OS release on your chassis.
Digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) reports per-lane TX and RX optical power, module temperature, laser bias current, and supply voltage through the SFF-8636 management interface. Operating temperature range is 0 to 70 C; operates within the QSFP28 SFF-8665 cage power budget. EdgeOptic supplies the module with Palo Alto Networks-coded vendor identification in EEPROM. For platform-specific acceptance behavior, verify against Palo Alto's current transceiver compatibility guide for your PAN-OS release.
Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. The module meets IEEE 802.3ba Clause 88 100GBASE-LR4 and the QSFP28 MSA SFF-8665, and is CE/RoHS-6 certified. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between PAN-T-Q28-100GBASE-LR4 and PAN-QSFP28-100GBASE-LR4?
The T-prefix in PAN-T-Q28-100GBASE-LR4 marks the TAA-compliant ordering code, used for US federal procurement subject to the Trade Agreements Act. PAN-QSFP28-100GBASE-LR4 (without the T-prefix) is the standard supply-chain SKU. Both target the same 100GBASE-LR4 QSFP28 specification: 4x25G LAN-WDM, 10 km SMF, LC duplex, 6.3 dB link budget. The TAA-compliant designation applies across the T-prefix Palo Alto Networks QSFP28 line, including the SR4 multimode sibling. Confirm current TAA status on Palo Alto Networks' federal-procurement page before contract submission.
