The 40-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ and 100-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28 transceivers that are
used in ACX5000 routers use 12-ribbon multimode fiber crossover cables with female
MPO connectors. The fiber can be either OM3 or OM4. These cables are not sold by
Juniper Networks.
CAUTION: To maintain agency approvals, use only a properly constructed,
shielded cable.
TIP: Ensure that you order cables with the correct polarity. Vendors refer to
these crossover cables as key up to key up, latch up to latch up, Type B, or
Method B. If you are using patch panels between two QSFP+ or QSFP28
transceivers, ensure that the proper polarity is maintained through the cable
plant.
Table 45 on page 91 describes the signals on each fiber.
