Juniper Ex Series SFP+ DWDM

A

A Juniper EX Series compatible SFP+ DWDM module is a hot-pluggable optical transceiver that supports Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing on Juniper EX switches at 10 Gbps per channel. It enables multiple wavelengths over a single fiber for high-capacity, scalable metro and long-haul links.

A

Juniper EX Series compatible SFP+ DWDM modules are available in ITU-T grid channels from C-band 191 (1530.33 nm) to 233 (1566.10 nm). Custom wavelength plans and standard 50 GHz or 100 GHz spacing options meet diverse network designs.

A

Depending on fiber type and channel spacing, Juniper EX Series compatible SFP+ DWDM modules support distances up to 100 km without amplification. For extended reaches beyond 100 km, optical amplifiers or regenters are recommended.

A

Yes, all Juniper EX Series compatible SFP+ DWDM modules conform to SFF-8431, SFF-8472, and ITU-T G.694.1 specifications. Full MSA compliance ensures interoperability and future-proof deployments.

A

Power down or hot-swap the SFP+ port, align the module with the port guide, then push it in until it clicks. Junos OS will automatically detect and configure the module based on your interface settings.

A

Yes, because they follow MSA and Juniper compatibility lists, you can mix third-party DWDM optics with OEM or other MSA-compliant modules. Always verify wavelength, power budget, and serial number programming for best performance.

A

Juniper EX Series compatible SFP+ DWDM modules support 9.95–11.3 Gbps line rates for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, OTU2, and SAN applications. They also support lower rates when configured in client-side adaptation mode.

A

Typical insertion loss for a DWDM SFP+ module is ≤1.5 dB per channel. This low loss supports high-density, multi-wavelength deployments without degrading signal integrity.

A

Yes, they support Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) per SFF-8472, providing real-time readouts of optical power, temperature, voltage, and bias current via Junos CLI or SNMP. This ensures proactive link health management.

A

Check the Juniper SFP+ compatibility matrix for model number, Junos OS version, and approved linecard. Alternatively, validate the vendor’s compatibility declaration and perform a short test in a non-production slot.

A

Typical power draw is ≤1 W per SFP+ DWDM module under standard operating conditions. Low power consumption reduces cooling requirements and overall cost of ownership.

A

Yes, most third-party vendors offer custom wavelength bundles, including ITU-T grid channels, color codes, and channel counts. This simplifies planning for ROADM, MUX/DEMUX, and point-to-point DWDM systems.

A

Third-party Juniper EX Series compatible DWDM modules typically include 1–5 year warranties, with advance RMA and lifetime technical support. OEM-style SLAs and NBD (Next Business Day) replacement are commonly offered.

A

DWDM SFP+ modules multiply fiber capacity by carrying multiple wavelengths over a single strand, enabling scalable bandwidth increments of 10 Gbps per channel. This allows non-disruptive capacity expansion without new fiber installs.

A

Operating temperature ranges from –5 °C to +70 °C, storage temperature from –40 °C to +85 °C, and relative humidity 0–85% non-condensing. These conditions ensure reliable performance in data center and field deployments.

A

Third-party compatible modules typically cost 30–50% less than OEM optics while maintaining full performance and warranty parity. This results in significant CAPEX savings on large-scale DWDM rollouts.
