PA-1410 HSCI compatable cables

AK74 — Tue, 06 Feb 2024 00:16:51 GMT

Hello there,

We're upgrading from a pair of PA-3020 firewalls to new PA-1410s and require a DAC cable for the HSCI ports. However, we're unsure which vendor/brand offers compatible options.

Specifically, we're considering the following cables:

Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU5M (5m)
StarTech.com SFP-H10GB-CU5M Compatible 5m (SFPCMM5M)

We've encountered some online posts mentioning potential issues connecting HSCI ports, but the information regarding PAN-OS versions or hardware compatibility is unclear.

Therefore, we kindly request assistance in confirming if either of the listed cables are compatible with PA-1410 HSCI ports, and if not, could you recommend a suitable alternative? Additionally, addressing the reported "HSCI port connection issues" would be immensely helpful in ensuring a smooth setup.

Hi @AK74 ,

I'm not familiar with those specific brands but the datasheets confirm that the data interfaces implemented by Palo Alto Networks are based on industry standards:

Kind regards,
