Palo Alto Networks CG Compatible SFP Module - 1GE Gigabit Ethernet - 1000BASE-T - SFP to RJ45 Cat6/Cat5e - (CG-ST)

This is a network transceiver module designed to provide high-speed connectivity for compatible switches and routers. It is specifically built to work with Palo Alto Networks devices, ensuring reliable performance in enterprise environments. The module supports 1GbE speeds and uses a copper RJ-45 connector for easy integration with Cat6 or Cat5e Ethernet cables. It is ideal for network administrators looking to expand or maintain their network infrastructure with a cost-effective solution.

The transceiver is hot-swappable, allowing for easy installation and replacement without the need to power down the device. It supports distances up to 100 meters, making it suitable for local area network (LAN) setups. The module is also compatible with MSA-compliant switches from other manufacturers like Ubiquiti, D-Link, Netgear, and more. This broad compatibility ensures flexibility in network configurations and reduces dependency on a single brand.

The design of the module focuses on reliability and ease of use. It is built with high-quality components to ensure stable performance under various network conditions. The RJ-45 connector is standard in most Ethernet setups, simplifying cabling and reducing the need for additional adapters or converters. Its compact size makes it easy to install in tight spaces within network equipment.

The package includes the SFP module ready for immediate use. No additional tools or software are required for installation, as it is plug-and-play. However, users should ensure that their switch or router supports uncoded SFP modules before purchasing. This module is not recommended for use in environments where higher speeds or fiber connectivity are required.
