Fiber spec to connect Palo Alto 5250 to Nexus 9300

[r.dangelillo]

Hello All,

I have a Palo Alto 5250 with a PAN-QSPF-40GBASE-SR4 optical interface. I have a Cisco Nexus 9300 with a QSFP-40G-SR4 optical interface. Can anyone give me the fiber optic cable specification to connect these two devices? I believe it will be MTP to MTP, 12 fiber, non-pinned, upc polish, polarity method B. Not sure of gender.

Thanks!

To connect between Palo Alto 5250 with a PAN-QSPF-40GBASE-SR4 optical interface & a Cisco Nexus 9300 with a QSFP-40G-SR4 optical interface, you can use MPO(female) – MPO(female) 12 fiber OM4 fiber patch cord with Polarity B.

MPO & MTP are similar connectors, only that MTP is a high performance MPO connector.
