Can we use SFP+ with PA-820?

Hi, Guys. I plan to use the PA-820.
The PA-820 has only two HA ports.
I am planning to substitute the HA ports with SFP ports.
Can I use the PAN-SFP-PLUS-CU-5M with the PA-820?
The PAN-SFP-PLUS-CU-5M is cheaper than the PAN-SFP-CG, so I would like to use the PAN-SFP-PLUS-CU-5M if it is available.
I would appreciate it if you could tell me.

I am a beginner. So, I'm sorry if the Select Location is wrong.

Please tell me the correct Location.

Thank you for posting question @Lisa_35

Based on Data Sheet: https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/apps/pan/public/downloadResource?pagePath=/content/pan/en_US/resources/datasheets/key-specs-for-paloalto-interface-transceivers

PAN-SFP-PLUS-CU5M is supported in this serious only by PA-850. As an alternative as you mentioned either PAN-SFP-CG on copper or PAN-SFP-SX on fiber can be used.

Kind Regards

Pavel
