FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this SFP transceiver?
This Axiom PAN-SFP-CG-AX transceiver supports 1000BASE-T technology, delivering data transfer rates up to 1000Mbps (1 Gigabit per second) over twisted pair cabling. This Gigabit Ethernet performance is suitable for most business networking applications including file transfers, VoIP, and general data traffic.
What type of cabling does this transceiver require?
The transceiver uses an RJ-45 connector and is designed for standard twisted pair cabling, specifically Category 5e or Category 6 Ethernet cables. It supports the full 100-meter distance specification for 1000BASE-T over Cat5e, making it compatible with most existing office network infrastructure without requiring special cabling.
Is this transceiver compatible with non-Palo Alto Networks equipment?
While specifically optimized for Palo Alto Networks hardware, this transceiver is MSA compliant, meaning it should work in any standard SFP slot that accepts 1000BASE-T copper modules. However, for guaranteed performance and compatibility, it's recommended primarily for Palo Alto Networks environments where it has been specifically tested and validated.
What does the lifetime warranty cover?
Axiom provides a lifetime warranty that covers manufacturing defects and premature failure for the usable life of the product. This warranty typically includes replacement of defective units and demonstrates the manufacturer's confidence in the transceiver's reliability and longevity in network deployments.
