Description

The PAN-SFP-CG-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Palo Alto PAN-SFP-CG. This transceiver provides plug-and-play 1000BASE-T connectivity for Palo Alto firewalls and network security platforms. - IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T compliance guarantees interoperability with Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure - SFP form factor, 1.25Gbps data rate, 100m maximum reach over Cat5/Cat5e/Cat6 copper cable via RJ-45 connector - Auto-negotiation supports 10/100/1000Mbps operation for flexible deployment across mixed-speed networks - Hot-swappable design enables field replacement without system downtime - Compatible with Category 5, 5e, and 6 unshielded twisted pair cabling using all four wire pairs for full-duplex Gigabit transmission

Features

• IEEE 802.3ab compliance ensures full-duplex Gigabit transmission using all four twisted pairs with forward error correction for signal integrity over 100-meter runs
• Auto-negotiation capability allows seamless operation at 10/100/1000Mbps, enabling backward compatibility with Fast Ethernet and legacy 10BASE-T infrastructure on the same port
• RJ-45 copper interface eliminates the need for fibre infrastructure while supporting Auto MDI-X for automatic crossover detection, removing the need for specialized cabling
• Hot-pluggable SFP form factor complies with MSA mechanical and electrical specifications, allowing in-service insertion and removal without powering down the host platform
• Supports operation over Cat5, Cat5e, and Cat6 unshielded twisted pair with four-pair bidirectional transmission, using existing structured cabling investments for Gigabit deployment
• Low power consumption design (<2.5W typical) reduces thermal load in dense firewall and security appliance configurations with multiple SFP slots

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Palo Alto PAN-SFP-CG?
A: Yes. The PAN-SFP-CG-BCC is engineered to the same IEEE 802.3ab standard, SFP form factor, and 1000BASE-T electrical specifications as the Palo Alto PAN-SFP-CG. It is plug-and-play compatible and functions identically in Palo Alto firewall and security platforms with SFP ports.

Q: Which Palo Alto platforms support this transceiver?
A: This transceiver works in Palo Alto firewalls and security appliances with Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports that support 1000BASE-T copper modules. Compatibility is determined by the presence of an SFP slot rated for copper transceivers, not by specific model numbers. Consult your platform documentation to confirm SFP slot specifications.

Q: What copper cabling is required for 100-meter reach?
A: 1000BASE-T requires all four pairs of Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6 UTP cable. While Cat5 is the minimum standard, Cat5e is recommended for reliable 100-meter Gigabit performance due to improved crosstalk characteristics. Cat6 provides additional margin. Cables must be properly terminated and tested to TIA/EIA category specifications.

Q: Does this transceiver support auto-negotiation, and can I force speed settings?
A: Yes, auto-negotiation is a mandatory feature of the IEEE 802.3ab standard and is implemented in this module. The transceiver will auto-negotiate 10/100/1000Mbps speed and duplex settings with the link partner. For 1000BASE-T operation, auto-negotiation cannot be disabled, as it is required to establish the master-slave clock relationship between endpoints.

Q: Can I mix this copper SFP with fibre SFPs in the same Palo Alto chassis?
A: Yes. SFP slots are media-independent, and you can populate different SFP types (copper, single-mode fibre, multi-mode fibre) in the same chassis as long as each slot supports the module type. This transceiver occupies one SFP slot and operates independently of other installed modules, allowing flexible mixed-media deployments for different connectivity requirements.
