Transceiver Description

A transceiver contains both a receiver and a transmitter. It converts serial electrical signals to external serial optical or electrical signals. Juniper Networks routing platforms support these transceivers:

• Small form-factor pluggables (SFPs). Fiber-optic and copper SFPs are supported.
• 10-gigabit small form-factor pluggables (XFPs). An XFP is a type of SFP that allows transfer rates up to 10 gigabits per second.
• XENPAK modules

For additional information about the transceivers supported for each PIC, see the PIC guide for your router or routing node.
