Determining Transceiver Support and Specifications
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
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: The Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC) provides
complete support for Juniper-supplied optical modules and cables. However, JTAC does
not provide support for third-party optical modules and cables that are not qualified or
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
