10Gbps 10GBASE-LR Connectivity

The PAN-SFP-PLUS-LR is designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity using the IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-LR standard. It provides a high-speed optical link suitable for bandwidth-intensive enterprise network applications.

With support for up to 10km over single-mode fiber, the module can connect network equipment located in different rooms, floors, buildings or campus locations when the fiber infrastructure and optical budget are appropriate.

1310nm Optical Wavelength

The PAN-SFP-PLUS-LR operates at a nominal wavelength of 1310nm. This wavelength is widely used for long-distance single-mode fiber Ethernet applications.

The Palo Alto Networks fiber-transceiver specification lists a 1310nm wavelength and a reach of up to 10km for the PAN-SFP-PLUS-LR. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Single-Mode Fiber

The PAN-SFP-PLUS-LR is designed for Single-Mode Fiber (SMF). SMF provides the optical characteristics required for long-distance 10Gbps Ethernet links.

Use compatible single-mode fiber patch cables with duplex LC connectors. The installed fiber infrastructure, connector quality and optical loss should be suitable for the intended 10km link.

Duplex LC Connector

The transceiver uses a duplex LC optical interface. One fiber carries the transmit signal and the other carries the receive signal, providing a full-duplex 10Gbps Ethernet connection.

Duplex LC single-mode fiber patch cables are therefore required for a standard PAN-SFP-PLUS-LR connection.

10km Long-Reach Performance

The PAN-SFP-PLUS-LR is specified for transmission distances of up to 10km. Palo Alto Networks documentation lists the reach as ≤10km for 10GBASE-LR operation. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Actual achievable distance depends on fiber attenuation, connector loss, splice loss, optical power budget and the characteristics of the connected equipment.

Hot-Pluggable SFP+ Form Factor

The SFP+ form factor provides a compact, pluggable interface for 10Gbps optical networking. Compatible PAN-SFP-PLUS-LR specifications identify the module as hot-pluggable and compliant with SFP+ multi-source standards. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Follow Palo Alto Networks' recommended procedures when installing or removing transceivers from a firewall or network appliance.

Palo Alto Networks Compatibility

Palo Alto Networks' product documentation identifies PAN-SFP-PLUS-LR as an official 10Gbps long-haul fiber transceiver. Palo Alto's pricing documentation lists the module for its enterprise firewall portfolio, including PA-7000, PA-5400, PA-5200, PA-5000, PA-3400 and PA-3200 Series platforms, with platform-specific compatibility depending on the interface configuration. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Always verify the exact firewall model, interface and PAN-OS/hardware compatibility requirements before purchasing or installing an optical module.

Enterprise Network Connectivity

The PAN-SFP-PLUS-LR is suitable for high-bandwidth enterprise network links where 10Gbps performance and long-distance single-mode fiber connectivity are required.

• Firewall-to-core-switch connections
• Firewall-to-router uplinks
• Data-center backbone links
• Campus backbone connections
• Core network interconnects
• Server aggregation networks
• ISP and carrier network infrastructure
• Long-distance enterprise fiber links

Optical Link Budget

Published technical specifications for PAN-SFP-PLUS-LR-compatible modules indicate an optical link budget of approximately 6dB, with 1310nm DFB transmission and PIN receiver technology. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

When planning a 10km fiber link, calculate the total optical loss from fiber attenuation, connectors, splices and patch panels to ensure it remains within the supported optical budget.

Digital Optical Monitoring

Compatible PAN-SFP-PLUS-LR modules are commonly specified with Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM/DDM), allowing network equipment to report optical parameters such as transmit power, receive power and module temperature when supported by the host platform. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

Actual monitoring availability depends on the transceiver revision and the capabilities of the connected Palo Alto Networks platform.

PAN-SFP-PLUS-LR vs PAN-SFP-PLUS-SR

Palo Alto's product documentation specifies PAN-SFP-PLUS-LR for 10km single-mode fiber and PAN-SFP-PLUS-SR for 300m OM3 multimode fiber. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

PAN-SFP-PLUS-LR vs PAN-SFP-PLUS-ER

Palo Alto's pricing documentation identifies PAN-SFP-PLUS-ER as a 40km 10GBASE-ER optical transceiver, while PAN-SFP-PLUS-LR is specified for 10km 10GBASE-LR links. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
