Determining Transceiver Support and Specifications for M Series and T
Series Routers
You can find information about the pluggable transceivers supported on your Juniper Networks device
by using the Hardware Compatibility Tool. In addition to transceiver and connector type, the optical and
cable characteristics—where applicable—are documented for each transceiver. The Hardware Compatibility
Tool allows you to search by product, displaying all the transceivers supported on that device, or category,
displaying all the transceivers by interface speed or type. The Hardware Compatibility Tool is located at
https://apps.juniper.net/hct/.
Some transceivers support additional monitoring using the operational mode CLI command show interfaces
diagnostics optics. Use the Hardware Compatibility Tool to determine if your transceiver supports
monitoring. See the Junos OS documentation for your device for a description of the monitoring fields.
CAUTION:
third-party optic or cable, the Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC)
can help you diagnose the source of the problem. Your JTAC engineer might recommend
that you check the third-party optic or cable and potentially replace it with an equivalent
Juniper Networks optic or cable that is qualified for the device.
