10G SFP+ BIDI 1270/1330nm 20km Single Mode (A Side) | 100% Compatible with Palo Alto Networks Firewall

10G SFP+ BIDI 1270/1330nm 20km Single Mode (A Side) | 100% Compatible with Palo Alto Networks Firewall

OptiSolid 10G SFP+ BIDI (A Side) transceiver is specially programmed for full compatibility with Palo Alto Networks Firewall 10G SFP+ ports. It adopts 1270nm (Tx)/1330nm (Rx) DFB laser and single-mode fiber (SMF) bidirectional transmission, featuring a standard simplex LC (UPC) interface and built-in MAXIM chip, delivering stable 10Gbps connectivity up to 20km over OS1/OS2 single-mode fiber. As the A Side module, it must be paired with a B Side (1330nm Tx/1270nm Rx) module for normal operation. Fully plug-and-play with no Palo Alto compatibility warnings, it is an ideal replacement for Palo Alto PAN-SFP-PLUS-BXD series modules in fiber resource-constrained long-distance scenarios.

Important 10GBASE-BX BIDI Single-Mode Fiber Notice

This is a 10G SFP+ BIDI (A Side) 1270/1330nm single-mode module. For full 10Gbps transmission up to 20km, 9/125μm OS1/OS2 single-mode fiber (simplex LC) is required. This A Side module (1270nm Tx/1330nm Rx) must be paired with a B Side module (1330nm Tx/1270nm Rx)—using two A Side modules or mismatched wavelengths will cause signal conflict and communication failure. Multimode or duplex fiber is not compatible. Note: For PA-5400 series devices, ensure SFP+ ports are configured correctly for 10Gbps operation and avoid improper port remapping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this BIDI A Side module alone with Palo Alto Networks Firewall?
A: No. This A Side module (1270nm Tx/1330nm Rx) must be paired with a B Side module (1330nm Tx/1270nm Rx) per ITU-T G.694.2 standards. Using two A Side modules or mismatched wavelengths will cause signal conflict and communication failure.

Q: Will this show as an unknown device in Palo Alto PAN-OS?
A: No. It is fully programmed to avoid compatibility warnings and support normal monitoring in Palo Alto PAN-OS, including DOM/DDM data display.

Q: What fiber cable do I need?
A: 9/125μm OS1/OS2 single-mode fiber (simplex LC) is required for full 20km 10Gbps transmission. Only single-fiber transmission is supported; duplex or multimode fiber will cause signal loss and connection failure.

Q: Is there any note for deploying with Palo Alto Networks Firewall?
A: Yes. For PA-5400 series devices, ensure SFP+ ports are configured correctly for 10Gbps operation and avoid improper port remapping. Verify A/B side pairing with complementary wavelengths and ensure the fiber is properly terminated.

Q: Is this module compatible with all Palo Alto Networks Firewall 10G SFP+ ports?
A: Yes, it is fully compatible with all Palo Alto Networks Firewall models featuring 10G SFP+ ports. Suitable for cross-campus interconnection, remote enterprise sites, outdoor deployments and fiber-constrained long-distance scenarios.
