Description

The PAN-SFP-PLUS-CUxM-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Palo Alto PAN-SFP-PLUS-CU1M. This passive twinax cable provides plug-and-play connectivity for Palo Alto Networks firewalls and appliances with 10G SFP+ ports. - 10GBASE-CU compliant passive direct attach copper cable providing standards-based interoperability across SFP+ platforms - SFP+ to SFP+ form factor supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet at data rates up to 10.5 Gbps - Passive copper twinax construction eliminates active electronics for low power consumption and near-zero latency - Available in three lengths: 1 meter, 3 meters, and 5 meters to suit rack and adjacency requirements - Operates within commercial temperature range (0 to 70 degrees C) with 3.3V supply voltage - MSA compliant for assured compatibility with multi-vendor 10G SFP+ ecosystems

Features

• 10GBASE-CU standard compliance ensures interoperability with any SFP+ host supporting the electrical specification, including multi-vendor environments
• Passive copper architecture uses twinax cable without signal conditioning electronics, delivering sub-microsecond latency suitable for storage, clustering, and real-time applications
• Low power dissipation of 0.57W maximum per connector end reduces thermal load in dense firewall and switch deployments compared to active cable or optical solutions
• Hot-swappable SFP+ connectors support field installation and replacement without powering down the host appliance
• MSA form factor compliance guarantees mechanical fit and electrical signalling compatibility across Palo Alto Networks and third-party 10G platforms
• Twinax cable construction provides electromagnetic shielding and maintains signal integrity across the full length range without external power or cooling requirements

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Palo Alto PAN-SFP-PLUS-CU1M?
A: Yes. This cable is designed as a plug-and-play replacement for the PAN-SFP-PLUS-CU1M. It matches the 10GBASE-CU standard, SFP+ form factor, passive twinax architecture, and electrical characteristics of the OEM cable, ensuring seamless operation in Palo Alto appliances.

Q: Which Palo Alto platforms support this DAC cable?
A: This cable works in any Palo Alto Networks firewall, appliance, or device with 10G SFP+ ports that support copper direct attach. Compatibility is determined by the presence of 10GBASE-CU capable SFP+ interfaces, not by specific model numbers.

Q: What is the power consumption difference between passive and active DAC cables?
A: Passive DAC cables like this one consume a maximum of 0.57W per connector end and contain no active electronics. Active cables include signal conditioning circuits and consume significantly more power, typically 1 to 2 watts per end. For runs up to 5 meters, passive cables deliver equivalent performance with lower power and heat.

Q: Can I mix different cable lengths in the same device or stack?
A: Yes. Each cable operates independently, and mixing 1m, 3m, and 5m lengths in the same chassis or between stacked units has no impact on performance. All three lengths meet the same 10GBASE-CU electrical specification and support the full 10 Gbps data rate without length-dependent deration.

Q: Does this cable support protocols other than Ethernet?
A: Yes. In addition to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-CU), this cable supports 8G Fibre Channel and 10G Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) as defined by the SFP+ MSA. The passive twinax medium provides sufficient bandwidth for multi-gigabit serial protocols up to 10.5 Gbps.
