Q
Which CWDM wavelength channels are supported by Juniper MX & T Series Compatible SFP+ CWDM modules?
A
They support 18 ITU-T G.694.2 channels from 1270 nm to 1610 nm in 20 nm increments for flexible CWDM deployments.
Q
Are Juniper MX & T Series Compatible SFP+ CWDM modules hot-pluggable?
A
Yes. These modules are hot-swappable, allowing insertion or removal without powering down the Juniper MX or T Series device.
Q
What is the maximum transmission distance of Juniper MX & T Series Compatible SFP+ CWDM modules?
A
They typically support up to 80 km over single-mode fiber, depending on channel wavelength, fiber quality, and link budget.
Q
Are Juniper MX & T Series Compatible SFP+ CWDM modules compliant with IEEE standards?
A
Yes. They meet IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-LR/LW requirements and adhere to industry-standard optical and mechanical specifications.
Q
Can I mix different CWDM channels on the same Juniper MX & T Series line card?
A
Yes. You can deploy multiple channels on one line card when each port is connected through the appropriate CWDM MUX/DEMUX.
Q
How do I verify compatibility of SFP+ CWDM modules with Juniper MX & T Series routers?
A
Review Juniper’s official SFP compatibility matrix or run the CLI command “show chassis hardware” to confirm supported transceivers.
Q
What diagnostics features do Juniper MX & T Series Compatible SFP+ CWDM modules support?
A
They provide Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) for real-time reporting of optical power levels, temperature, voltage, and laser bias current.
Q
What is the typical power consumption of Juniper MX & T Series Compatible SFP+ CWDM modules?
A
Power usage typically ranges from 0.8 W to 1.0 W per module, depending on operating wavelength and ambient temperature.
Q
Do Juniper MX & T Series Compatible SFP+ CWDM modules require maintenance?
