Review fiber-optic cable characteristics and plan the power budget and power margin for fiber-optic cables
connected to your device by using the information in the following topics.
PTX10004 Optical Transceiver and Cable Support
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 enables you to search by product, displaying all the transceivers supported on that device, or category,
by interface speed or type. The list of supported transceivers for the PTX10004 is located at
https://pathfinder.juniper.net/hct/product/#prd=PTX10004.
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.
