Direct-attach cable for Palo Alto Networks gear

This passive SFP+ to SFP+ twinax cable provides a 10GBase-CU link between compatible switches, routers or firewalls. It is built to the Palo Alto Networks PAN-SFP-PLUS-CU-0-5M specification and carries TAA compliance for regulated procurement.

Passive copper runs cool without external power

Because the assembly draws no active circuitry, latency stays minimal and heat output is negligible during continuous 10 Gb/s throughput. The half-metre reach suits adjacent rack units or intra-cabinet links where longer cables would add slack.

SFP+ ends lock securely into standard cages

Each connector latches firmly, resisting vibration in dense chassis while allowing tool-free removal when re-cabling. The 1.6 ft copper twin-axial construction keeps the bend radius manageable for tidy routing without stressing panel ports.

Questions about this item

Does the passive 10GBase-CU direct attach cable draw any power or generate noticeable heat during continuous operation?

The cable is a passive twinax assembly with no active electronics, so it draws no power and produces no measurable heat while carrying 10 Gbps traffic.

What port type must the existing switch or firewall already provide for this SFP+ to SFP+ cable to work?

The equipment needs two SFP+ cages that accept 10GBase-CU copper direct attach cables; the 0.5 m length is designed for rack-adjacent connections.

Will the 0.5 m passive twinax link negotiate correctly with older 1 GbE SFP modules kept in the same chassis?

The cable operates at a fixed 10 Gbps rate and does not auto-negotiate down to 1 GbE; the opposing ports must also be configured for 10GBase-CU.
