Add-On PAN-SFP-100BASE-FX-AO SFP Fiber Module

Overview

The Add-On PAN-SFP-100BASE-FX-AO is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) module designed to extend network reach over fiber optic cable. It specifically enables 100BASE-FX Fast Ethernet connectivity, utilizing an LC duplex connector for secure and reliable fiber termination. This module is critical for bridging network segments across distances where copper cabling is impractical or insufficient, commonly found in large campus environments or between buildings.

Compatibility

This SFP module is engineered as a direct component replacement for Palo Alto Networks firewalls and network devices that support 100BASE-FX SFP transceivers. Verify your specific Palo Alto Networks firewall model or network switch supports standard 100BASE-FX SFPs with an LC connector for guaranteed interoperability. It is designed to function within the specified operating parameters of compatible Palo Alto Networks hardware.

Installation Notes

Install the PAN-SFP-100BASE-FX-AO module into an available SFP slot on the compatible network device. Ensure the device is powered off before insertion or removal to prevent potential damage. Connect the fiber optic cable (typically multimode fiber for 100BASE-FX) to the LC duplex connector. The module draws minimal power from the host device and requires no external power source. Proper handling of fiber optic connectors is advised to prevent contamination or damage.
