supplied by Juniper Networks. If you face a problem running a Juniper device that uses
third-party optical modules or cables, JTAC may help you diagnose host-related issues if
the observed issue is not, in the opinion of JTAC, related to the use of the third-party
optical modules or cables. Your JTAC engineer will likely request that you check the
third-party optical module or cable and, if required, replace it with an equivalent
Juniper-qualified component.
Use of third-party optical modules with high-power consumption (for example,
coherent ZR or ZR+) can potentially cause thermal damage to or reduce the lifespan of
the host equipment. Any damage to the host equipment due to the use of third-party
optical modules or cables is the users' responsibility. Juniper Networks will accept no
liability for any damage caused due to such use.
Cable and Connector Specifications for MX and PTX Series Devices
IN THIS SECTION
12-Fiber MPO Connectors | 60
24-Fiber MPO Connectors | 65
LC Duplex Connectors | 66
The transceivers that are supported on MX Series and PTX Series devices use fiber-optic cables and
connectors. The type of connector and the type of fiber depends on the transceiver type.
You can determine the type of cable and connector required for your specific transceiver by using the
Hardware Compatibility
Tool.
CAUTION: To maintain agency approvals, use only a properly constructed, shielded
cable.
NOTE: The terms multifiber push-on (MPO) and multifiber termination push-on (MTP) describe
the same connector type. The rest of this topic uses MPO to mean MPO or MTP.
