Transceiver CBO SFP-1G-LH for Palo Alto Networks — SFP 1G Long-Haul Fiber

The Transceiver CBO SFP-1G-LH for Palo Alto Networks — SFP 1G Long-Haul Fiber is a 1 Gigabit SFP optical module compatible with Palo Alto Networks devices. It is designed for single-mode long-haul fiber links and provides a compact, hot-pluggable interface for uplinks, switches and firewalls that accept SFP ports. The module enables straightforward replacement or upgrade of existing SFP modules while maintaining reliable, low-latency connectivity over long distances.

Advantages

This SFP 1G long-haul transceiver offers interoperability with Palo Alto Networks equipment and supports stable single-mode fiber transmission for extended reach. Its hot-pluggable form factor simplifies installation and maintenance without requiring device shutdown. The compact module minimizes port space usage and supports standard optical interfaces to ensure predictable performance in network uplinks and point-to-point links.

Suitable for

• Connecting firewall or security appliances to remote switches or aggregation points over single-mode fiber
• Establishing long-distance uplinks between data center racks or buildings
• Replacing or upgrading existing 1G SFP modules in network devices with SFP ports
• Point-to-point fiber links where stable 1 Gigabit throughput and extended reach are required

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps
• Connector type: SFP hot-pluggable module for fiber ports
• Fiber type: Single-mode fiber
• Transmission range: designed for long-haul links (extended reach over single-mode fiber)
• Wavelength: compatible with long-haul single-mode optical transmission
• Use case: uplinks, switches, firewalls with SFP ports

How to use

Power down is not required for installing this hot-pluggable SFP module; insert the module into an available SFP port on a compatible Palo Alto Networks device or other network equipment that supports standard SFP modules. Connect single-mode fiber cables with the appropriate LC-style connectors to the module, ensuring correct TX/RX orientation. Confirm link status and configure interface settings on the network device as needed to match the 1 Gbps link speed and duplex settings. For removal, gently release the module latch and pull the transceiver straight out to avoid damage to the port or module.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber patch cords of appropriate length and quality and keep dust caps on connectors when not in use. Verify compatibility with the target device firmware and perform link tests after installation to confirm expected throughput and reach. Store spare transceivers in anti-static packaging and avoid touching the optical connector endfaces to maintain signal integrity.
