Description
The AddOn Palo Alto Networks® PAN-QSFP-40GBASE-LM4-AO is a high-performance, 40GBase-LX4 QSFP+ optical transceiver designed for seamless integration into Palo Alto Networks networking environments. Supporting data transmission up to 2 km over single-mode fiber (SMF) or 150 m over OM3 multimode fiber (MMF), this module operates across 1270 nm to 1330 nm wavelengths and utilizes a duplex LC connector for reliable connectivity.
Engineered for demanding enterprise and access network deployments, this hot-swappable, SFF-8436 compliant transceiver delivers excellent ESD protection, low EMI emissions, and Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) for real-time performance diagnostics. It is Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliant, rigorously tested for compatibility, and guaranteed to initialize and operate identically to the original Palo Alto Networks module — all backed by AddOn’s limited lifetime warranty.
