Juniper PTX10001-36MR - Cable and Connector Specifications for MX and PTX Series Devices

supplied by Juniper Networks. If you face a problem running a Juniper device that uses
third-party opcal modules or cables, JTAC may help you diagnose host-related issues if
the observed issue is not, in the opinion of JTAC, related to the use of the third-party
opcal modules or cables. Your JTAC engineer will likely request that you check the
third-party opcal module or cable and, if required, replace it with an equivalent
Juniper-qualied component.
Use of third-party opcal modules with high-power consumpon (for example,
coherent ZR or ZR+) can potenally cause thermal damage to or reduce the lifespan of
the host equipment. Any damage to the host equipment due to the use of third-party
opcal modules or cables is the users’ responsibility. Juniper Networks will accept no
liability for any damage caused due to such use.
Cable and Connector Specicaons for MX and PTX Series Devices

12-Fiber MPO Connectors | 60
24-Fiber MPO Connectors | 65
LC Duplex Connectors | 66
The transceivers that are supported on MX Series and PTX Series devices use ber-opc cables and
connectors. The type of connector and the type of ber depends on the transceiver type.
You can determine the type of cable and connector required for your specic transceiver by using the
Hardware Compability Tool.
CAUTION: To maintain agency approvals, use only a properly constructed, shielded
cable.
NOTE: The terms mulber push-on (MPO) and mulber terminaon push-on (MTP) describe
the same connector type. The rest of this topic uses MPO to mean MPO or MTP.
