SonicWall 02-SSC-5806 100GBASE-SR4 QSFP28 Module

Overview

The SonicWall 02-SSC-5806 is a QSFP28 expansion module designed to provide 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) connectivity. This module is crucial for environments requiring high-bandwidth network uplinks or direct connections to high-speed storage or compute resources. It leverages the SR4 standard for short-range multi-mode fiber, making it suitable for within-rack or adjacent-rack deployments in data centers or enterprise network cores.

Compatibility

This module is specifically designed for use with compatible SonicWall firewall appliances that feature QSFP28 ports. It is intended to expand the network interface capabilities of SonicWall Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) that support 100GbE modules, enabling higher throughput for demanding security and network services.

Installation Notes

Installation requires careful handling of the module and fiber optic connectors. Ensure the host firewall is powered down before inserting or removing the module. Connect the MPO/MTP fiber optic cable to the module and the corresponding port on the network device. Verify the cable is seated correctly and secured. The module draws power from the host appliance and requires no separate power source.
