Devices - Juniper PTX1000 Hardware Manual

Cable and Connector Specifications for MX Series and PTX Series Devices
Copyright © 2018, Juniper Networks, Inc.
The network ports on the PTX1000 support QSFP+ and QSFP28 transceivers,
direct-attach copper (DAC) cables, and active optical cables (AOCs). The PTX1000 also
supports using small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers to connect the SFP
management ( ) port. SFP transceivers are not supported for use on the network
MGMT
ports. The following SFP transceivers are supported in the SFP management port only:
SFP-1GE-LX
SFP-1GE-SX
SFP-1GE-T
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 PTX1000 is located at
https://pathfinder.juniper.net/hct/product/#prd=PTX1000
CAUTION: If you face a problem running a Juniper Networks device that uses
a 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.
The transceivers that are supported on MX Series and PTX Series devices use fiber-optic
cables and connectors. The type of connector and the type of fiber depends on the
transceiver type.
You can determine the type of cable and connector required for your specific transceiver
by using the Hardware Compatibility Tool
CAUTION: To maintain agency approvals, use only a properly constructed,
shielded cable.
NOTE: The terms multifiber push-on (MPO) and multifiber termination
push-on (MTP) describe the same connector type. The rest of this topic uses
MPO to mean MPO or MTP.
