WatchGuard compatible WG8583 Description
EdgeOptic's WG8583 compatible is a WatchGuard-coded version of the EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-300 multi-vendor 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver. The WatchGuard EEPROM identifies the optic as a recognized accessory on Firebox firewall appliances, so Fireware accepts the module on the SFP+ port without flagging it as unsupported. One universal SR hardware platform, 80+ vendor codes, including this WatchGuard variant. The WG8583 sits in the same Firebox accessory line as WatchGuard's other branded 10G optics, with the WG-prefix part number following WatchGuard's standard accessory PN convention.
Optical specifications, 10GBASE-SR class. 850 nm VCSEL transmitter, PIN photodiode receiver, multi-mode duplex LC. Reach is 300 m on OM3 and 400 m on OM4. TX output power runs −5 to 0 dBm, receiver sensitivity −11.1 dBm, receiver overload 0 dBm, link budget 6.1 dB. Multi-rate scope spans 1.25 to 11.32 Gbps, covering 10G Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, 1G to 10G Fibre Channel, and STM-64. DDM/DOM is supported, accessible through the Fireware Web UI on Firebox appliances. Compliance: SFF-8431, SFP MSA, IEEE 802.3ae, RoHS, IEC60825-1 Class 1 laser safety. Operating range 0 to 70°C commercial.
WatchGuard's KB documentation confirms WG8583 for Firebox M590 and M690 (built-in SFP+ on interfaces 8 and 9), Firebox T145, T145-W, and T185, and Firebox M295, M395, M495, M595, and M695 series appliances. Selected M-series chassis use expansion modules to add SFP+ ports. The WatchGuard EEPROM coding lets the optic register cleanly when the appliance boots, and DOM diagnostics surface in Fireware. If your Firebox model is not on the list above, verify SFP+ port availability against the WatchGuard hardware specification before ordering, since some Firebox models require an expansion module to enable SFP+.
Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty included. For Firebox model verification, expansion-module pairing, or bulk pricing on multi-appliance deployments, contact our sales team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the WG8583 work on Firebox M Series appliances that do not have built-in SFP+ ports?
WG8583 is the SFP+ optic; the appliance has to provide an SFP+ cage to plug it into. WatchGuard KB documentation confirms built-in SFP+ ports on Firebox M590 and M690 (interfaces 8 and 9), Firebox T145, T145-W, T185, and the M295 / M395 / M495 / M595 / M695 line. Selected Firebox M models require an expansion module to add SFP+ capability. If your Firebox model lacks a native SFP+ cage and the expansion option is not installed, the WG8583 cannot be inserted. Verify your specific Firebox model and slot configuration against the WatchGuard hardware specification before ordering.
