Network Cable and Transceiver Overview for M Series, MX Series, and T Series Routers

M Series, MX Series, and T Series routers support a variety of fixed and pluggable transceivers and network cable, including multimode and single-mode fiber-optic cable. For a list of transceivers, see http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/release-independent/junos/topics/reference/general/transceiver-m-mx-t-series-standards-by-model.html. To determine which transceivers and cables are supported on a particular device, see the “Cables and connectors” section for each device in the PIC guide for your router or the MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers Line Card Guide .

Note: We strongly recommend that only transceivers provided by Juniper Networks be used on M Series, MX Series, and T Series interface modules. Different transceiver types (long-range, short-range, copper, and others) can be used together on multiport interface modules as long as they are provided by Juniper Networks. We cannot guarantee that the interface module will operate correctly if third-party transceivers are used.
