Determining Transceiver Support for the ACX6160
The ACX6160 has 12 network ports. The eight QSFP28 network ports on the port panel support
QSFP28 transceivers.
The four CFP2 network ports on the port panel support CFP2 transceivers. You can configure each of
the four CFP2 ports as 100-Gigabit Ethernet ports.
See "ACX6160 Front Panel" on page 6
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 ACX6160 is
located at https:/ /pathfinder.juniper.net/hct/product/#prd=ACX6160.
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
for more information about the network ports.
