Determining Transceiver Support for the ACX5000
All the router models of the ACX5000 router supply quad small form-factor pluggable plus (QSFP+) ports
for use as uplinks or as access ports. These 40 GbE ports support QSFP+ transceivers, QSFP+ direct-attach
copper (DAC) cables, and DAC breakout cables (DACBO). The ACX5048 has 6 QSFP+ ports; the ACX5096
has 8 QSFP+ ports that can all be used as uplinks.
On all ACX5000 routers, the ports are enabled by default.
Downlink ports are product SKU-specific:
ACX5096—has 96 SFP+ ports that support SFP and SFP+ transceivers, as well as DAC cables.
ACX5048—has 48 SFP+ ports that support SFP and SFP+ transceivers, as well as DAC cables.
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 ACX5000 is located at
