Check Point CPAC-2-10F | 2-Port 10GbE SFP+ Fiber Expansion Card for Security Appliances

Q: Which Check Point appliances is the CPAC-2-10F compatible with?
A: The CPAC-2-10F is confirmed compatible with the Check Point 4800 Series security gateway appliances and other supported Check Point platforms that accept internal expansion line cards. Check Point's compatibility documentation or your account manager can confirm support for other gateway models.

Q: Do transceivers come included with the CPAC-2-10F?
A: No — transceivers are sold separately. Each of the two SFP+ ports requires one 10GBase SFP+ transceiver module. Check Point offers the CPAC-TR-10SR for short-range (10GBase-SR) fiber and the CPAC-TR-10LR for long-range (10GBase-LR) fiber deployments.

Q: Can I use third-party SFP+ transceivers with this card?
A: Check Point recommends using their certified transceiver modules (CPAC-TR-10SR and CPAC-TR-10LR) to ensure compatibility and avoid potential issues with appliance diagnostics or support. Third-party SFP+ transceivers may function but are not officially validated.

Q: What is the maximum throughput per port on the CPAC-2-10F?
A: Each SFP+ port operates at 10,000 Mbit/s (10 Gbps), providing a total of 20 Gbps of additional fiber interface capacity when both ports are populated with transceivers.

Q: Is this card suitable for data centre or high-throughput enterprise environments?
A: Yes. The CPAC-2-10F is specifically designed for enterprise and data centre environments where 10 GbE fiber uplinks are required for high-throughput traffic inspection, network segmentation, or connecting to core switching infrastructure at 10 Gbps speeds.
