PA-505
PA-505: Compact alternative with greater session capacity than the PA-501.

Overview
The PA-505 combines 7 RJ-45 1 GbE ports. The manufacturer reports 0.8 Gb/s of Threat Prevention in an appmix test on PAN-OS 12.2. Selection must assess this result alongside concurrent sessions, the application profile and required inspection; it does not guarantee performance on every network. Compact alternative with greater session capacity than the PA-501. Transceivers, subscriptions and support are specified for the project. Security subscriptions and optional features are not assumed to be included with the appliance. Validate the licence, version and configuration.
