Q
What standards and protocols does this XFP comply with?
A
It complies with IEEE 802.3ae 10GBase-LR, XFP MSA, and Telcordia GR-63/GR-468 standards for performance and reliability.
Q
How do I install the Juniper MX & T Series Compatible XFP?
A
Slide the module into the XFP port until it clicks, then enable the interface in Junos OS with the appropriate 'set interfaces' configuration command.
Q
Can I mix this compatible XFP with Juniper-branded transceivers?
A
Yes, it is interoperable with Juniper-branded and other standards-compliant XFP modules within the same router chassis.
Q
What operating temperature range does this XFP support?
A
It operates reliably between 0 °C and 70 °C for standard use, with an extended range of –40 °C to 85 °C for harsh environments.
Q
How do I verify the module is recognized by the router?
A
Use the 'show interfaces diagnostics optics <interface>' command in Junos OS to confirm module type, optical power levels, and diagnostic status.
Q
Does the module support single-mode and multi-mode fiber?
A
This specific XFP is designed for single-mode fiber; multi-mode applications require a separate 10GBase-SR XFP module.
Q
What is the warranty period for the Juniper Compatible XFP?
A
It includes a 3-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal operating conditions.
Q
How can I optimize performance on my Juniper router using this XFP?
A
Keep Junos OS updated, use quality single-mode fiber, enable jumbo frames, and monitor DOM metrics to maintain optimal performance.
Q
What is the lead time for ordering this XFP module?
A
Standard stock items ship within 24–48 hours; custom or large-volume orders typically require 5–7 business days for delivery.
Q
Will Juniper firmware updates affect the performance of third-party XFP modules?
A
No, as long as the module remains standards-compliant, Junos OS firmware updates do not degrade interoperability or performance.
Q
Where can I purchase genuine Juniper MX & T Series Compatible XFP modules?
A
Authorized Juniper resellers and certified third-party suppliers list compatible XFP modules; verify part numbers such as JNP-10G-XFP-LR or equivalent.
