Compatible Transceiver for Palo Alto Networks

The StarTech.com PLUS-SR-ST is a 40 Gbps SFP+ transceiver module designed for Palo Alto Networks switches and routers. It provides a direct replacement for the PAN-SFP-PLUS-SR part. The unit operates at an 850nm wavelength over multimode fiber with LC duplex connectors. It is built and tested for dependable 10 GbE connectivity in compatible hardware.

Suited for Palo Alto Networks deployments

This module fits network engineers expanding or repairing Palo Alto Networks infrastructure requiring 10GBase-SR compliance. It supports link distances up to 300 m (984 ft) over multimode fiber. Buyers needing single-mode fiber reach, different vendor compatibility, or speeds other than the specified transfer rate should select a different transceiver model.

300 metre reach over multimode fiber

The maximum distance of 300 m (984 ft) at 850nm determines whether this transceiver covers the required link length. Multimode fiber patch cables with LC connectors are necessary to achieve this range. Verify the planned cable run against this limit before purchasing to ensure signal integrity.

Questions about this item

How do I install the PLUS-SR-ST into a Palo Alto Networks switch SFP+ port, and what step is often missed?

Insert the module until the latch clicks, then remove the dust caps and connect the LC duplex patch cable; the step often missed is removing the dust caps before linking the fiber.

What maintenance will the PLUS-SR-ST need over time?

Periodically clean the LC connector end-faces with a lint-free swab and isopropyl alcohol to maintain low insertion loss on the 850 nm multimode link.

What is the distance limit that appears first when running the PLUS-SR-ST continuously at 40 Gbps?

The 300 m (984 ft) reach on OM3/OM4 multimode fiber is the primary limit before signal attenuation requires a repeater or shorter run.
