About the EX-SFP-10GE-SR
The Juniper EX-SFP-10GE-SR optical transceiver provides high density 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for enterprise campus distribution and data center access networks. Operating at a nominal optical wavelength of 850 nanometers over multimode fibre, it establishes reliable short-reach optical links between access layer switches, core aggregation frames, and server nodes.
Compatibility
Compatible with Juniper EX Series switches including EX2300, EX3400, EX4300, EX4400, EX4600, and EX4650 platforms. It interfaces natively with 10GbE SFP+ uplinks and dual-speed ports, and operates under Junos OS with full plug-and-play identification and optical diagnostic support.
How to identify a genuine unit
Enclosed in a standard SFP+ metal casing with a black optical extraction latch bail denoting 850nm short-reach optical optics. The top label displays the Juniper Networks logo, part number EX-SFP-10GE-SR, assembly number 740-021308, and laser safety compliance markings.
Buying used
Inspect the dual LC optical connector interface under an optical microscope for surface scratching or debris accumulation. Insert the module into a running Junos switch to verify that system inventory detects the transceiver and reports valid diagnostic optical power readings without framing errors.

Works together
How the Juniper EX-SFP-10GE-SR connects to servers, storage and the network: 3 ways, with the hardware on each path.
iSCSI and NVMe/TCP over Ethernet
Keep the speed the same at all three points: a 25GbE server, a 25GbE switch port and a 25GbE array port. Mixed speeds work but the slowest link sets the pace.
