Juniper ACX5048 - Cable Specifications for QSFP+ and QSFP28 Transceivers

CAUTION: If you face a problem running a Juniper Networks device that uses a
third-party optic or cable, the Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC)
can help you diagnose the source of the problem. Your JTAC engineer might recommend
that you check the third-party optic or cable and potentially replace it with an equivalent
Juniper Networks optic or cable that is qualified for the device.

Cable Specifications for QSFP+ and QSFP28 Transceivers
The 40GbE quad small form-factor pluggable plus (QSFP+) and 100GbE quad small form-factor pluggable
28 (QSFP28) transceivers that are used in ACX Series routers use 12-ribbon multimode fiber crossover
cables with MPO socket connectors (SR4 optics only). The fiber can be either OM3 or OM4. Juniper
Networks does not sell these cables.
