Can we separate the PA-850 two of HA boxes using Fiber to Copper Media Convertor in case I want to keep both boxes in different buildings to achieve HA ( our boxes are in Active-Passive mode ) ?
Current configuration of HA is on Copper Ports.

Hi @GajananDixit ,
Yes, it can be done. Check out this discussion -> https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/general-topics/high-availability-for-firewalls-in-diferent-loca....
You can use IP addresses for your HA2 links so they can route across your network. In that scenario, PANW recommends encrypting the traffic.
Thanks,
Tom

If you're going to use a media converter the only thing I would really caution is using cheap devices for these links. I'd recommend spending the money for a managed unit so that you can monitor for faults outside of the interface just failing.
